First time moms- when was the first time you felt your baby move?

Question

I’m 16wks 6 days and I have yet to feel anything.  On Monday (at 16wks, 4days), I had a doctors appt & the nurse asked me if I was feeling him move around.  I told her no & just the expression on her face caused me concern.  I asked her when I should start feeling him & she only said I could be feeling it for a while & not know that that’s actually him moving.  But the things is, she never actually answered the question.  It’s been 2 days now & I am feeling pretty worried.  I don’t have another appt for another 3 wks but I am petrified that something might be wrong with my baby.  If you are a first time mom, please let me know the first time you felt your baby move.  I literally don’t feel anything right now, no flutters or anything.
Also, I know his placenta is at the back of my uterus.  Another nurse told me that because of that, I should be able to feel him sooner than normal.

Answer

I felt movement at 15 weeks but it wasn't consistent until around 18-20 weeks. My doctor was shocked I felt something at 15 weeks.

Answer

23 weeks

Answer

I didn’t feel my daughter until 20 weeks. That’s the average. Placenta position can make a difference but I also had a posterior placenta with her and it still took me a while... but once it started it never stopped

Answer

I started feeling my little dude around 16 weeks but still questioned if it was him or gas. 18 weeks started feeling him for sure but not all the time, depending day to day based on his position. Around 22 weeks is when I started to feel him daily and now I am 25 weeks and feel him ALL the time.

Answer

I’m 16 weeks and can feel mine sometimes. It feels like pop corn in your tummy. But my doctor assured me that some people don’t feel theirs til well after 20 weeks.

Answer

I'm a first time Mom. I didn't feel anything until 17weeks and 5 days. It was just once. Then nothing for a couple days. Then at about 18/3 I started feeling tiny flutters nothing crazy and didn't even notice unless I was sitting there waiting for it and concentrating. It wasn't until about 19-20 when I started feeling her without a date randomly throughout the day and a lot when laying down/before bed.

Answer

Honestly don’t worry, love. I didnt feel my baby until I was almost 20 weeks. It’s possible I felt movement earlier but didn’t know it was movement. It literally feels like gas bubbles to me. Like little flutters. I didn’t know that that’s how it felt but the bigger she got the more I could actually see her movements (: 
Drink cold 7-up and if you feel like little flutters / gas bubble feeling it’s more than likely your baby moving around
