I was wondering when I would start to feel my baby kick since I am 17 weeks and if I would even feel it at all since this is my first pregnancy and I dont know what it feels like.

I actually didnt feel mine for the first time till around 20 weeks.. But then didnt really start actually feeling it frequently until I was 22 weeks (im 33 weeks right now) this is my first and im 18 as well. It feels differnet to every woman. But at first it normally is described as flutters, and almost feelings like gas bubbles. But the bigger he/she gets, u'll know*

Well its hard to tell, I think I felt the first flutters at 16 weeks, but I wasn't certain until the 21st week when I got a strong kick and I knew without a doubt what it was.

I didnt feel mine kick until 21 weeks!! I got worried there for a while but my doc told me not to until I hit 24 weeks and if I didnt feel anything by then he would do an ultrasound. So I wouldnt worry!
