I was about 18 weeks with my first but I think it really differs x

14 weeks for me. I have friends that didn't feel the baby until 20+ weeks. Apparently the position of the placenta can dramatically affect whether you feel movements clearly or not.

I felt my first two at 14 weeks. I'm also pg with my thrid, I am 18 weeks and can't feel a thing. I have already had 3 scans for various reasons, and baby has been kicking away each time, but I just can't feel it yet.

Try not to worry, it's different every time, and I think the position of the placenta has a lot to do with whether you feel the kicks early, or if they are cushioned until later on.

I'm having my first and felt him at 20 weeks

First about 16 weeks. Pg with DC2, and again, started feeling slight "squirms" about 16 weeks - now 21 weeks and getting very definite kicks.
