When... feel baby and show??

Just curious when I could expect to feel my baby.  Each time I get an ultrasound the little one is so active kicking and punching..  I am high risk sp I have been having at least 1 sono a week.  Sometimes in the vening when I lay down I feel like I can feel something.  This is my 1st preg. (prev. m/c at 7 1/2 weeks) and I am 11 weeks today.  Is it possible that I am feeling the baby??  Also- when does one usually start to show?

I'm 17 weeks and still waiting to feel something for sure.  As for showing, I have a puffy belly. That's the best way to describe it.  Right now I just look I could use some sit ups. =)  All though, for the first time today, some women where I work were asking because they say, and I'm 1/2 Puerto Rican, that I've always had the Puerto Rican butt, and now I have a little in front too.  I had to tell them I was preggo.  Happy to say and happy to finally have people notice.  =)  I thought I felt little "tapping" every 3 days or so but I think it was probably gas.

Usually you wont start feeling the baby kick until about 18-22 weeks. Quickening (which feels like little flutters) sometimes happens as early as 14 weeks but its easy to mistake gas bubbles for quickening. I didn't start to show until about 22 weeks or so however it just depends on your body some people start showing earlier some people later.
