It really depends on individual. You can feel your babies move as early as 13-16 weeks from the start of their last period. These first fetal movements are known as quickening and are often described as flutters. It may be difficult to determine whether this feeling is gas or your baby’s movements, but soon you will begin to notice a pattern. For first-time moms may not feel these movements as early as second-time moms. Some moms, especially those in their first pregnancy, may not feel movement until 18-20 weeks. Remember that each woman and every pregnancy is different, so you may not feel movement as early as another woman. There is a broad range of when the first detection of movement can be felt, ranging from 13-25 weeks.

The earliest movement are often described as flutters and are called quickening. These can be felt as early as 13 to 16 weeks. Also, first-time mothers may not feel it as early as second-time mothers. For ladies who are pregnant for the first time, it is common for them to feel the first movement at around 18 to 20 weeks. Since every pregnancy is different, the broad range of the first detection of movement is between 13 to 25 weeks.

Feeling the movement of your baby is called quickening. If this is your first pregnancy, you may not feel your baby move until closer to 25 weeks. By the second pregnancy, some women start to feel movements as early as 13 weeks. If you are skinner, there is a higher chance for you to feel the movement earlier. 16 weeks is so far the earliest I have heard amongst my friends for a first pregnancy. :)

With my first child, I felt his first flutters at around 16 weeks. It was a bit later with the second one :)
