Hi Leah,
Consistency came around 20 weeks for me. I felt them before that, but it wasn't consistent. My uterus was stretched a lot bigger than a singleton by 20 weeks though, so maybe that's why I felt so much by then? 20 week is also the first time DH felt the babies kick. We were at a wedding, sitting in the sun and I think it warmed them up! They started squirming around so much, I was able to get DH to feel them move for the first time.
About maternity clothes, my advice is, buy early and wear often! You only get to wear them for such a short amount of time, enjoy it! I loved maternity pants!!! I still miss them today. They are soooo comfy. My favorite were the underbelly (wide band of elastic all the way around)
