For me it was usually around the four month mark. But I am a very slender woman and am highly in tune with my body. The earliest movements are just flutters and resemble closely what gas bubbles feel like in your tummy. That first "kick" is unmistakable and oddly enough I've always felt it while bending over to tie my shoes. How many times you've been prego also makes a difference in how soon you can feel it due to the fact that you are already familiar with it. I highly recommend the book "What to expect when you're expecting" to new parents. Lots of important information without being overwhelmed and very easy to navigate due to excellent organization. Helps mom's not be so anxious and informs dad's without exposing them to embarrassment :)
