Ok I will be 17 weeks tomorrow and I find out what I am haing on the 4th.... But I was wondering I have never been pregnant before and it feels like somehing is moving around in my stomach and I don't know if I can acturally feel the baby moving my doctor told me at my last appointment that you can see the baby moving on the ultra sound and I should be feeling it soon but I am not really that sure.... Am I really feeling my child inside of mii???

Also when can the babys dad and my family and friends feel the baby moving or kicking????

The dad will be able to feel the kicks from the outside around 25-ish weeks. It could be a little more or less than that.

The first movements you feel are going to feel a lot like gas bubbles. The baby has been moving for awhile inside you now, but you haven't felt it because it isn't strong enough to feel. The bones weren't fully formed, the baby wasn't large enough, etc. This all takes awhile to happen.

It is. I think the title of this thread may have been changed and 1st trimester was used accidentally.

im only 15 weeks pregnant today, and i already feel my baby fluttering around. my doc said it is differant for each woman. but im right here with you im 16 an preggo my baby is due jan 29th. so we'll probably be experiencing things together. but yeah back to the subject from what ive been told itll be around 6 months before anyone else can feel/watch him/her kick and make your stomach wave like crazy. but differant people have differant opions on everything.
