It feels kind of like a gold fish is swimming around in your stomach. It's sort of ticklish feeling. I started feeling it earlier this time since it's not my first pregnancy. I was able to really feel it at 16 weeks and now at 23 weeks I can more than just feel it, I can see it very well.

I started feeling it around 18 weeks and was unsure too. It almost felt like popcorn popping in my belly. Im not 26 weeks and I can see my belly move and feel her kick and flipping. It's an amazing thing. You'll have a point in time when the baby will kick and you will know it was a kick!

I'm 19 weeks and still the kicks I am most sure about are when he kicks down. Nothing like a kick to the backside of the cervix! I like the goldfish description here4fun gave.

I started feeling flutters around 17/18 weeks. They were mostly low and felt like someone was tapping on my lower tummy or sometimes like bubbles. I didnt start feeling 'kicks' till I was about 23 weeks and still dont feel them very often usually when I do feel them they are really high. I talked to my doctor about it because I was getting worried cause everyone else felt them earlier than me and he said since my plecenta is right upfront it will take longer for me to feel him alot. He said not to worry if I dont feel him everyday for atleast another month. Hugs Monica.

I started feeling the flutters around 17wks. My doctor explained to me that when you feel the flutters, it's usually because the baby is laying up next to or on your bladder and it's the baby's heartbeat you're feeling.
A week or so ago, I felt him kind of run his hand along the inside of my stomach. It felt like he was kind of rubbing and/or caressing the inside of my stomach. It was really cute! I am 20wks 5days now and I felt the first definite kick yesterday. I was leaning forward in my chair to take some pressure off my back and I felt him kick me in the leg. (My stomach was on top of my thighs.) Then last night my town had their Christmas Parade. At the end of the parade each year, there are about 6 firetrucks in line with Santa in the last one throwing out candy. They all had their sirens on and it got Noah to go wild! He was kicking the hell out of me! I called my mom over and she could feel him. My husband was still at work. So, he didn't get to feel him but it won't be much longer before Noah will kick him in the side of the head when he's listening at my belly.

I really started feeling something this week - I'm 19 weeks today. Depending on the location of your placenta and your body frame, feeling first time movement can really range from 16 - 22 weeks.
