I'm 20+4 with my first baby & not felt anything yet. I wish she'd hurry up & kick so I know all is ok in there :-)

That all depends. I am 18+4 and i feel my peanut kick at least a few times a day. Sometimes it even startles me lol. Iam a ftm also. Guess i am one of the lucky ones. I was also about 10-15 pounds under weight when i got pregnant so that could be it but my mom said my family shows and feels really early. :-)

Reading all of these posts make so excited! Ftm I'm almost 14 wks and can't wait to feel my baby. Even when I was 9wks the baby moved like crazy. I'm going out of town to visit my family, hopefully he/she stays active so we all get to experience the baby movement :)

This is my 4th little one and I didn't feel him until 24 to 25 weeks but I was 25 lb overweight before i got pregnant. I think that it might play a part.

Ftm here and 215 pounds right nit with only about 5 lbs gained so far. I fir s t felt a flutter at 16 1/2 weeks. It didn't happen again until a few times in week 17. I'm in the middle of week 19 and feel baby sometimes in the am if I am still and paying attention and even then it's not everyday. I usually fell baby at night. It feels like popping or a tickling/fluttering feeling. My husband felt it for the first time last night and described it as if he felt my stomach muscle spasm. :)

I can feel little flutters. Last week I thought I felt them but wasn't sure. But I know its the real thing now. I'm 14 weeks with my 2nd child. They say u can feel movement earlier the second time around. So I guess its legit
