Are you for real? All the books and the doctors say you won't feel your baby move till about 16 weeks for 2nd timers and more like 18-20 for first timers. Most of time they can't even pick up the heart beat with the doppler at 9 weeks so how could you feel him moving? Either you are not real or you need a new MD ↑

your doctor don't know anything apparently. 16 weeks is the earliest babe-and thats when i felt him kick. ↑

I felt small movement in my 15th week and now I'm 16 weeks and I can usually feel the baby kicking when I lay on my back. It's not strong enough for my fiancee to feel yet but I can feel it slightly on my hands as well. ↑

I think that's a little early I think the average time is 18-24 weeks, I am 17 weeks and haven't felt anything distinctive yet, and this is my first baby. Try reading what you can expect when you are expecting, it's a great book and has up to date accurate information ↑

It takes you longer to feel the baby move the first pregnancy I was told. I didn't feel my baby move until I was 5 months. This is my first. I felt little flutters at first than after awhile he moves hard now and you can see my belly move when he does. My doctor also told me you won't feel it until your 6months and that's when he got stronger. I felt flutters before that though. I'm 30 weeks now! ↑

It could be nerves. I've had that 'fluttering' feeling even when I'm not pregnant, and it feels just like a baby kicking. The only thing is it's likely to be on other parts of the body, especially my legs (sometimes when the nerves are twitching you can see the affected area palpitate a bit). So not every feeling is going to be related to the baby kicking... but once you get deeper into the pregnancy it will be. ↑
