    This pregnancy, I started feeling little flutters and rolls at about 15 1/2 weeks. My first pregnancy, it was around 17 or 18 weeks I think.

    With my first, 20 weeks. I was actually pushing an IV med in a patient when I felt the first kick (I'm a nurse). With this pregnancy, I felt it first at 15 weeks. I had a few questionable movements around 13-14 weeks but knew for sure at 15.

    This pregnancy, earlier than any other (Christmas day around 15 weeks). With my first it was close to 20, then a little earlier each time. I had a couple ultrasounds early on due to some spotting and could tell a lot of movement but wasn't quite feeling it then. :)

    Everyone had described the movement feeling as "flutters" or "slithering" but that's not how I feel things. To me, it feels the same way your muscles jump after a workout or when your eye twitches. I realized that was what that feeling was between 18-19 weeks but I had been feeling it for about a week at that point.

    Consistently around 20 weeks but some little flutters around 18-19. It's been sort of violent since about 24 weeks. My first son hiccupped a lot but this one only has once that I felt. This one is more into huge movements and rolls!

    This is pretty much how I describe what I'm feeling (at 20 weeks this week). Been feeling it for a few days, but haven't been positive yet that it's the little man. It does feel like a muscle twitch, or like someone flicked me - the way that it would feel if someone flicked you through a blanket. Sort of muffled. The "flutters" and "bubbles" that I had it described to me as made it sound like it tickles, but this does not tickle at all.

    I started to feel something around week 18. I am 20 weeks now and know for sure when the baby is moving. It's becoming more and more consistent. Sometimes it feels like the baby is learning to dance! :D

    I was 22 weeks with the first movement. It took until around 24 or 25 weeks before my husband could feel it very faintly from the outside. Now, at nearly 30 weeks we both JUST started to be able to see the movement, and he can now feel it without having to ask me "was that him?" like he did at first when it was smaller/faint movements :) .

    It's definitely a weird feeling! I'm never alone these days...

    THIS!! I was sure it was muscle twitches at first!!! Eventually I realized it was the baby <3

    It started around week 19 for me, and I think my partner could feel it about 2-3 weeks later. Now I still feel those twitches, but I can also feel some kicks. It's amazing :)
