When Does the Baby Start Kicking?

You can start feeling "quickening" which is the light "butterflys" as early as 15 weeks, though generally this happens around 18-20 weeks with first time moms. Real kicking happenes around 20-23 weeks. Lots of fun ahead of you. i'm 26 weeks today, and I just love my kayla kicking and rolling around in there.

I felt mine at 17 weeks and all I could do was laugh.

I felt my first kicks when I as 18 weeks.. They were real little and prolly feel em more round 20 weeks.

Haha stace...U love it now....But just wait until she getsso strong that u cant sleep at night...And when she turns head down and her feet are always in your ribs making you sore! Lol. I miss those kick and punches! Now I get my hair pulled! Lol.

Lol I try taking naps and I cant cuz the baby decides its time to kick lol. I like when she feels my desk though. I was saying she rubs it with her hand and my neice kristen who is 7 says "no her head is down there, and her feet are up there kicking the desk, and thats why when you have the baby she comes out head first. So shes not rubbing you with her hand shes pushing with her feet" ......I was like....? Crap how did you know all that??? Lol

Yeah I do love it for now. Haha. She hs kicked me a couple times and woke me up, and every time I lay down now, she starts kicking. I think cause its putting pressure on the side of my tummy, and she kicks at any pressure. But I can still sleep with it. Will see.
