feeling baby move

I am currently 17 weeks pregnant with my first child.  I have lots of people asking if I have felt the baby move yet.....and I really don't think I have.  Has anyone else felt their baby move yet?

I think that I did not start to feel my baby till about 17 weeks and i'm now 21 weeks and feel her/him pretty much everyday.
It's such a slight feeling it can easily go unnoticed so don't worry. For me it felt like tiny bubbles in my belly :)

I am also at 17 weeks.  I started having these fluttering sensations several weeks ago.  It felt like a gas bubble (and that's what I thought it was.)  Two weeks ago, my stomach started going crazy.  I knew then the baby was moving.  It felt like there was a water bed inside my stomach.  I didn't feel it much last week, but this week, I am feeling it move a lot.  A friend who is due two months before me, said she didn't experience it until about her 20th week.

You might have felt him/her move and just not know it.  It's still pretty early for you to be feeling anything so don't worry.  You will probably start to feel flutters in the next few weeks.  I didn't realize that I was feeling my daughter move around at 16 weeks until I started feeling her move everyday after 20 weeks.  Then I recognized the feeling.  When it's your first, you're not really sure what you feel.
