A Research Question For Parents

So. When can a pregnant woman first start to feel the child moving, and when can others first start to feel the child kicking if they put their hand on her abdomen?

Yes, I'm asking for book research, and yes, there's a reason I'm not looking this up online; I want *your* impressions and memories.

:D

First felt him move

I first felt Baby Thor move when I was about 20 weeks along. We were at Disney World and seeing the Electric Light parade. I felt a fluttery feeling. The thing that really struck me was that he was clearly responding to the music.

I would say it was a few weeks later when [livejournal.com profile] greendalek could feel him. It was early in the morning, and I remember he did not want to go to work. He wanted to stay home and play with the baby.
