Are talking about actual kicking or fetal movement?

The first fetal movements, for me anyways was much earlier than feeling him kick.
With my first it was about 14wks, with my second I was about 12.5wks and this one I've been feeling movement since just before 10wks.

There is a slight difference between actual KICKING and early fetal movement, also known as "quickening" which feels like butterfly fluttering.

Normally about 20 weeks. Sometimes a little earlier sometimes a little later, with this one I was 18+6 first time I saw him kick I was 21+3
Hubby still hasn't felt baby move, but my brother and older daughters have, my daughters saw him move and came over one put her head on my stomach and the other put both her hands around her sister head and the both felt him :-)

Plus sized as well and felt her at 18 weeks on the dot. Hubby felt her at 24. Around then she started kicking so hard my whole belly would jump. Everyone is different though and it depends on how far back baby is and where the placenta is
