Most women start feeling movement sometime after 16 weeks, usually between 17 and 20 weeks. Sometimes it can take longer depending on where the placenta is located and whether or not it's your first baby.

@Celss23 5-6 weeks is way too soon for anyone to feel baby movements. At that point the baby is far too small to feel. Most women, even experienced mothers rarely feel their baby move before 15 weeks, but the 17-20 weeks I mentioned above is more common.

With my first I felt movement at about 19 weeks. With my second it was about 16-17 weeks. With my third it was 18 weeks.

Im 7 weeks pregnant, this is my second....i have to say i havent felt anything yet but with my first one i was about 3 months...you can feel the baby move according to my obgyn...it may not be what you'd expect but i can assure you, you can feel it...it feels like little butterflies in the bottom of your stomache or well at least i did...but its enough for you to know so if you feel a little flutter in your stomace...its the baby moving....
