    Its your first baby though isnt it Ahurani?
    Your stomach muscles would still be tight and you'll probably feel your bub by 18 weeks, My first bub Hubby couldnt feel him until about 23 weeks (on the outside of my belly) but I felt little bubbles (hard to explain) around 12 weeks (flutters) but nothing until about 16 weeks.

    I felt the first flutter here at 11 weeks I think it was this time around...

    I think with T it was about 11 or 12 weeks. It was like a huge somersault in my belly. Then I didn't feel anything for a few more weeks after that, until the regular movements started up.

    I haven't felt anything yet with this one (although I must admit I'm slightly less svelte than I was when I got pregnant with T ) but I think I've been feeling very slight tightenings which may be braxton hicks?

    On days when I'm not getting nauseous, I long for the movements because I don't 'feel' pregnant... I can't wait for my 12 week scan so that I can make sure everything's still doing what it should be - mind you, if it's not, I'd like to know why I'm getting so much fatter!

    I cant remember when it was with DD? Somewhere around 15 weeks maybe? DS - I felt flutters (actually it felt like someone was scratching my tummy from the inside) around 11 weeks.

    I felt it pretty early on with this bub too, about 12ish weeks. Nothing regular until about 16 weeks or so when I would feel maybe 4 or so movements a day. Right now I think baby is having a party in my tummy!
