I'm 18 week and 2 days pregnant when will I start to feel my baby moving/kicking/quickening? I thought I felt baby moving the other day I had my hand on my belly button felt kinda weird but I ain't sure what it was b/c this is my first pregnancy.

Maybe you did! I felt this fluttering for the first time on my 16th week and still enjoying it until now. Though my baby is sometimes active on some days and on others days, not much. I am on my 22nd week and I am looking forward for that "strong kick" pretty soon. Quickening can be felt between the 18th - 22nd week of pregnancy.

I thought I felt it a couple of times but I ain't too sure.....Last Dr. Appt. When they used the doppler baby was moving a lot....I only know from the doppler w/out it I probably wouldn't have known.
