When can you first feel baby kicking (flutters)?

So I'm 13 weeks pregnant (so excited!) and have been feeling flutters in my tummy for the past few days. I know it seems early but you can tell the difference between gas or hungry tummy and it's definately not that! Has anyone else felt their baby move this early?

I felt her first at 16 weeks. This is my first pregnancy and I'm not 98 lbs lol...I describe myself as athletic with a little extra padding, at least I was until this baby made me chubby. :)

Definitely her, though, it just got stronger and stronger until she started kicking me.

I have 4 kids and the 1st I felt around 19 weeks and I didn't weigh but 98lbs at the time, my secong was around my 19th week as wel , my 3rd was round 16weeks, 4th was at 17weeks. Now my situation now is I have been having a period and it went from 7to9 days long to 3 days and lighter. Been this way now for 4 months or more and in the past week I have been feeling flutters and today I pushed on my belly and was kicked hard. I have took pregnancy test and they are all negative ...yet I have milk coming out my right reast, headaches, nausea,sleepy, and frequet urination.  I don't know if I am prego or noy now. But it is getting strongrt

This is my 3rd and I started feeling the little flutters or bumps around 13 weeks... If this is your first it usually takes a bit longer but like some of the girls were saying if your tiny there is a possibility to feel the baby sooner...

I'm 13 weeks as well. I was actually thinking of asking this exact same question. This weekend I felt a few weird bumps that I thought could have been the baby. I know everything I've read says that with your first pregnancy you are less likely to feel the baby move this early because you aren't sure what to look for. So it could be the baby, but at the same time it could have been anything. But when we are far enough along we will KNOW when we feel that first real kick! I personally can't wait!!! Good luck with everything!

I felt my first about 15 weeks, and my second around 14 weeks. It felt almost like a gas bubble, but I didn't have gas...so I assume it was the baby moving, and until proven otherwise that's what I say. It was my babies moving.

I felt my first movements at 17 weeks and I am very tiny.. I weighed 100 lbs at the start of my pregnancy... There may have been one or two times when I think I might have been feeling the baby before that but cant confirm.  You will know when its baby movement... Dont really know how to describe it but honestly it can feel very similar to alot of things.. I have muscle spasms in my leg periodically that feel identical to baby movements  so you never know

First pregnancies, usually 20-22 weeks you feel the baby. However if you're a tiny girl it can be much sooner. I didn't feel my son til 18 weeks.
