How soon did you feel the baby moving?

I know you will just tell me to go to the doctor but I would still like to hear your opinions please.

Okay, so I haven't had my period in three months- which isn't unusual for me, my period is all over the place. I took a test last month and it came out negative. I will be taking another test tonight.

However I have been feeling this crazy fluttering feeling in my lower abdomen- I thought for sure it was just gas but I don't know. Every once in awhile it isn't a flutter it feels more like a jab I guess... But when I just try to feel my tummy I don't feel anything.

I've also lost 15 pounds and am 15 away from my goal but have been pretty stagnant for the last couple months.

Thoughts?

Most first-time moms won't feel their baby move until the second trimester. If you think you would be about 3 months along, it would likely be too early to feel the baby move. Not impossible because some people do feel the baby really early, just unlikely.

@Mrs. Spring: Thank you, I'm just getting a little nervous. My wedding isn't until June and we aren't planning on having children for at least 5 years.

I didnt feel my baby until about 17 weeks along. It took forever!

@forever: No worries. :) The likelihood is that it was just gas/tummy troubles. If your periods are wonky, you might get checked out anyway, though. Never hurts to be 100% sure!
