12 weeks for me

 

You'll feel them for sure within 2 or 3 weeks.

Yeah...sixteen to 20 weeks you feel it, at first you might think it's gas...but you feel a flutter...it is SO COOL ! I had three babies and I never tired of feeling them move. It is one of the best parts about being a female...is getting to experience life inside you. Congrats and take good care of the both of you !!!

Congrats Angie!

Not speaking from personal experience, but my sister-in-law is pregnant: she first felt it at 22 weeks and was told that women tend to feel it quite late in their first pregnancy, and far sooner in subsequent ones because they recognise the feeling (rather than thinking it's gas as fynlyfrei said, or other things their own body is doing)

It also depends on how sensitive you are. Do you ever feel something like a muscle twitch in your abdomen? A good way to get baby to kick is to eat something sweet and then have a warm bath.
