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

With Sonia (my first) I felt her at somewhere between 3-4 months.

With the twins, I felt them at about *10 weeks*, which is freakish, because they're not big enough to cause any impact at that size. Perhaps because there were two of them (and I distinctly felt two different kinds of flutters) and because they were (and are) so freakishly physically active. Also, because I'd been pregnant before, I knew what to look for.

There does seem to be correlation between fetal activity and baby activity, if that helps.
