I didn't start feeling it until well after week 20, probably. I was getting quite worried, because I know lots of people claim to feel it much earlier, but my OB said that generally it's week 22 or 23. She also said that by the time you're SURE you've felt it, you realize you were feeling it earlier, you just weren't sure what it was.

Also, don't worry about your belly growing slowly ... before you know it, it will be huge ... and moving all the time! :-)

I was about 18-19 weeks when I felt fluttery feelings, and about 22 weeks when I felt the first good thump. They say first time moms don't feel it as soon as those who have had babies before. I started showing around 20-21 weeks.

Don't worry, you will be showing and feeling the belly bean very soon!

I felt a couple flutters here and there around 20 weeks, but didn't feel a solid thumping until around 24 weeks.  I have an anterior placenta (placenta is on the front wall of the uterus, as opposed to the back by my spine) so the doc told me it may lessen the feeling of the kicks.  17 weeks is pretty early so don't worry! 

I don't remember when I started showing, but I was still in my normal jeans at 20 weeks. I was showing if I wore clothes that emphasized it, but otherwise, not really.

I felt some quickening at around 16 weeks, but I didn't feel any good movement until the day before I was 20 weeks. I remember the day all too well, because I didn't know what they were at first.

I felt kicking around 19-20 weeks.  Everything before that felt just nebulous and too faint to really tell.  17 weeks is still early, so don't worry!
