Right around 18 weeks I started feeling her moving. Just a little at a time though and it wasn't every day. Then as she got bigger I felt her more and more often. You'll feel the baby soon momma don't worry! :0

for first time Moms it's totally normal to feel first kicks between 18-22wks.

I felt my first at 16wks, however.

I felt around 13 weeks with both.  I am 20 weeks now and feel the baby on the outside too.  It just depends on where your placenta is placed.  If it is in the front, that adds extra padding and you may not feel the baby as soon.  I think usually around 20 weeks or so you should be able to feel it.  Congratulations!

with my first i didnt feel anything till around 21 weeks... this time it was 14 weeks lol.. feeling it on the outside tho with my first was around 23 weeks and this time it was 19 weeks.. with my first my placenta was out front tho so it was hard to feel a lot of movement till baby was bigger..

Same here.  I remember feeling the "butterflies" at around 12-13 weeks with my first child and with this pregnancy it was around 11-12 weeks.  I'm now 20 weeks and last Wednesday my DH felt the baby kick and then saw my tummy "jumping". 

Quoting Mdmooch:
