A Research Question For Parents

[browngirl]

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

I recall feeling the first tiny twitches during the fourth month of pregnancy. That would be sometime after three months but before I was actually four months pregnant. I think that movement could be detected from the outside at about five months.
