    I felt them for the first time around 19/20 weeks. I'm 23.5 weeks now and I feel them all the time.

    i'm sure you'll start feeling them very soon. I was like you I was VERY anxious and kept thinking that I SHOULD be able to feel them but hang in there and enjoy once you do!

    I think it also depends on what number pregnancy this is for you. With my first pregnancy I didn't feel my DD move until around 19-20 weeks.

    With the twins, 2nd pregnancy, I think it was around 16-17 weeks. So you are still fairly early. Give it a few more weeks and then you will definitely be feeling them.

    This is my 1st pregnancy & I felt them moving around (A more than B) at about 15 weeks - but it was such a 'soft' movement, I had to lay REALLY still to notice anything at 1st, but it's picking up much more now!

    I was a bit overweight to start as well. I felt flutters at 18 weeks, unmistakable movement in week 19, and since week 21 there has been a party in my belly! DH was able to feel something from the outside at 23 weeks, and now can consistenly feel them every time they move.

    With my twins i felt the first flutters at 12wks. I've always felt early with all of my kiddoes so I'm not much help.

    Mine were around 17 weeks. All I could really feel then was hiccups though. Now I feel B all the time. He moves all day long and kicks very strong. Baby A I never feel her except when she gets the occasional hiccups. She is so far down it is hard to feel her. You should feel them soon. By 20 weeks I started feeling a lot of movement.

    I am 19w4d and I think I just felt them this morning for the first time. I was laying in bed this morning and I felt a couple of "bubbles". I had my level 2 u/s yesterday and the technician was surprised that I hadn't felt them move yet because she says that she could feel them!

    I felt one for the first time at 14 weeks (but that was because he had no fluid). I felt both consistantly every day from around 18 weeks
