Hey!  Congratulations!!  This is funny (well, maybe not) but I never thought I was feeling my baby move.  Mine felt like little flutters.  I was a full 20 weeks when I absolutely knew it was my baby.  I was sitting in my car and felt the flutters and looked down. Then my entire belly had a big lump move across it.  Ha, probably my son's bottom as he changed position.  I went "OHHHHH".  First pregnancies take longer to feel the baby partly because we don't know what to chalk up to the baby.  But by mid second trimester, I suspect you'll feel 'something' that you are wondering if it is your baby and it probably is.  With my second, I felt him much earlier.  But feeling the baby move is one of the coolest things you'll experience in your whole life so know you are anxious!  You are getting close to the doctor's appointment in which they listen to your baby's heart beat for the first time.  That will be exciting.  Enjoy!

Hi Vanessa welcome to the community!
Every pregnancy is different so this will vary. With my first pregnancy I started to feel kicks at 19 weeks.
This is my second pregnant and I started to feel the first kicks called quickening at 13 weeks.
Right now your baby is still developing, give him or her a few more weeks :)
