When should you start to feel your baby move?

my wife she is at the 20th week of her pregnancy,she did say that very few time she felt some very minor tickle.....some say that you should feel some kicks at 16 -20 weeks,more frequent if you having twins....
i was just wondering if anyone have experienced some kicking at 16 -20 weeks..............................................Tony

Tony--This stressed me out for a long time until I realized that those little "bubbles" that I had been feeling were the baby moving. They are just so little at this point that it doesn't feel like much. The last two weeks, it seems like she's been kicking harder every day.

Tell your wife to try not to worry. I bet she'll be feeling them anytime. My doctor told me I wouldn't feel anything until 22 weeks....

Meg hi...wow 22 weeks ha!!i feel a little better now ,i guess we have to wait,i was just a little concern that's all....they say that with twins you should feel some kicks sooner than with a single pregnancy.....thanks...

I had twins and I didn't feel them move until about 20 weeks. But it was 22 weeks before I felt them move regularly. I was a little worried too but my doctor said it's normal for a first time mom not to feel anything until 20-22 weeks, even with twins.

Hmmm....Did she ask her doctor about it? Myabe she's feeling it and just not realizing it. For me, it really didn't feel like "kicks" until the last week or so---before that it was just a fluttering movement. It almost feels like gas at first. I'm sure things are fine, especially since the last ultrasound was normal. Isn't this just a nerve wracking ordeal!!!!??????

Hey Tony!
There are probably many factors as to why she can't feel them yet. I'm sure she'll start to feel them any day now though. Perhaps it has something to do with where they are sitting and her body type or maybe she isn't aware of what she is feeling. Either way, I am sure all is fine.
Maybe this is a sign that your boys are going to be very mellow babies and have great sleeping paterns from the start!

Take care~
