    Question Has anyone else experienced this?

    I'm sure it FAR too early to be feeling this but just have to make sure!

    I'm 12 weeks tomorrow, going by the date i got at my scan and i can feel the baby moving around ALOT! I get this sort of pressure and these intense flutters and thuds.

    Am i just really intune with my body or is it in my head??

    I only felt light flutters with DD...

    It is possible, and more likely with your second/third/forth etc babies. Or so I've heard. Maybe because you know what it feels like and you notice earlier or something?

    I was feeling Beez by 13 weeks. I didn't think it was possible, but it was Beez!!
    I could only really feel him/her when I was in bed or sitting still. It really tickled! It felt like bubs was pushing or rolling around.

    So cute.

    I'm now 18 weeks and getting kicked surprisingly hard for someone so little! I have to make sure I don't go "ooof!" in public like I do at home!

    I'm soooo excited for you LMS!!!

    Thanks Charlotte

    Yes! Its this pushing feeling and then little flutters/kicks and i saw it do it on the screen! Its SO reassuring being able to feel it as i don't have to worry anymore.

    I can't believe you are 18 weeks! Thats CRAZY! I am also very happy for you too!

    Its totally possible to be feeling baby by now and anyone who tells you otherwise has no idea.

    Ive felt some of mine as early at 10wks and my OB kept telling me it was wind.......... it was definitely baby and that was confirmed even more so when i found out my placenta was posterior.

    With DS2, I felt him from 11 weeks. It's a wonderful feeling. Part of it was knowing what I was feeling, but also the position of the placenta makes a difference. With DS1, I had an anterior placenta. With DS2, it was posterior. He was a real wriggle moster and by 17 weeks was kicking up a storm.

    i first felt DD at 9.5weeks - thought i was nuts cos it was so early - but consistently felt movement in the same place from then on. at the 12 week scan, i mentioned i'd been feeling her, was told it wasn't possible (before they started the scan) so i pointed and told them they'd find the legs in the bottom right hand section of my womb - which is exactly where they were! DH could feel her from the outside at 16.5 weeks - which is earlier than some people feel their baby themselves! if you have a posterior placenta, theres no reason not to feel movement earlier
