It all depends on the position of your placenta and baby my midwife just told me today!!! If your placenta at your back (for the lucky ones) you will have your baby to your belly so you will feel your baby move or kick very quickly. But if it is at your belly it will be used as a shock absorver so it will litterly absorve all the kickings so you wont feel any of them. Makes sence now to me 2 ;)

I went to a ultrasound at 12 weeks and seen the baby moving like crazy but couldnt feel anything. Maybe around 16 weeks I started to feel him. Its the best feeling. You'll know when it happens!

You won't really feel him or her move a lot till after 21 weeks they movements get stronger...I'm 26 weeks n I'm seriously feeling them now. At first it was barely n when I did feel them it felt like a little jumping nerve or flutter... Don't worry be patient the furthur you get in pregnancy you will feel the baby move more frequently.... Besides every woman and her pregnancy is different.
