I was about 16 or 17 weeks I think with the first one. But it's really not uncommon to not feel it until 18/19/20 weeks or even later - particularly if you are a larger lady or have an anterior placenta (this is where the placenta is attached to the front wall of the uterus - it tends to reduce the amount of movement you can feel particularly early on when the baby is still quite small).

Don't worry you'll be complaining about getting kicked in the bladder in no time

Don't worry. This is my first pregnancy, and I didn't feel any movement until I was 20 weeks. It's a strange sensation, and different women describe the feeling of movement differently. For me, it wasn't like butterflies or bubbles popping - it felt more like odd muscle twitches. It might take you awhile to realise that what you're feeling is your baby moving, but the more you feel that same feeling the more confident you'll become that it is bubs moving. I know it's really hard waiting for those first movements, but don't worry - they will happen .
