I didn't feel flutters until I was a little over 16 weeks. I am now 22 weeks with my first and I feel stronger kicks. I didn't really feel the strong movements until about a week and a half ago. Everyone is different though. They say you can feel flutters as early as 16 weeks, but stronger movement won't be felt till usually 18-22 weeks. I am sure that everything is fine. Ask your dr if you are feeling really uneasy about it. I hope this helps a little!!

thanks courtney, im sooo anxious!

Billsgirl--with my first I did not feel anything until 17 wks. I am 17 wks pregnant right now with my second and began feeling the flutters about 3 wks ago, although they are not consistent. Some people do not feel anything until they are well over 20 wks. Is this your first?

maggie, its my second, however it seems like my first. my son is 13!! so im basically starting over. congrats to you!!

I am about to be 17 weeks and havent felt anything yet. This is my first so even if I have felt anything I probably wouldnt know it was my baby. I cant wait to feel it. I am sooo excite and ready for this baby to be here.

i felt the flutters from 12 weeks, but didn't feel the strong stuff until i hit 25 weeks, so i wouldn't worry. especially if this is your first baby.

I am 19 weeks with twins and just felt the first movement yesterday. My dr told me most first time moms feel movement between 18 and 20 weeks. Congrats All. Cindy

I started to feel what I can only describe as bubbles in my tummy at about 17 weeks. It was until recently that I felt a true flutter -- and I am 22 weeks today. This is also my first pregnancy to get this far, and from what I understand, it's normal not to feel movement until later in the pregnancy. I have been worried that I have haven't experienced a true kick but was told I probably wouldn't until the 7 month or so.

I am 17 weeks and new to this site! But anyways, this is my first baby and i havent felt anything yet. I had what I think are gas bubbles, but im not sure. Im starting to get a little worried myself, but I try to reassure myself that its just not time to feel my baby yet! Good Luck! I hope we both feel something soon!!!!!

I started to feel "flutters" when I was about 15 weeks, but it's not all the time. I'm 16 weeks 3 days and starting to feel them more in the morning. This is my first. I know it's not gas, because it's in one spot and I know what gas bubbles feels like. Don't worry. Each person is different. Good luck!

That may be just a little too early to be able to feel your baby's movements. Don't get discouraged like I was. I started feeling the flutters at around 19 weeks, and its just non stop from there. Good luck!

This is my first as wel. I didn't start to feel anything until 19 weeks. I have had sonograms so I know the baby is moving and that helped relieve a lot of my stress. I am now at 21 weeks and I still really only feel the baby in the evenings or early mornings. The thing that helped me through those non-feeling weeks was thinig that I may get a kick as a Christmas present (21 weeks) and then being really excited that it came earlier! A friend of mine didn't really experience anything until about 23 weeks. It will happen!
