Early movements!

[childondaway]

I first felt my baby at about 19wks.

Apparently you feel them much earlier if its 2nd, or 3rd pregnancy

Don't be jealous!! I swear with Mackenzie it took soooooo long to feel it I seriously thought something was wrong - I kept on asking my ob but this time round it's def there! Very weird but memorable feeling!

[Taurean]

Oh that is just so nice! I'm REALLY looking forward to knowing for sure that bubs has made its presence known Fingers crossed I don't have too long to wait.

Congrats again on feeling some movement!!

Oh its nice to read someone else with early movement I am 14wks with #4 and have been feeling the butterfly kisses I call them for the last week or so, its fantastic I cant wait until the kids can feel bub from the outside DD 5yrs is so excited, she is going to go nuts when she can feel it kick.

P.S. Taurean - you will feel it any day now, I found lying flat on my back and concentrating I was able to feel them with #1 and #2

I felt them really early the first time (took me ages to realise what the strange ticking was too... hiccups DER all the time
This time is less because the placenta is anterior so I cant always feel bub moving. Some days I do quite a bit then hardly at all for a few days. Very frustrating. Cant wait to see bub at 20 week scan on Thursday!

Jordie,

I was exactly the same. DS was 28-30 weeks before I felt anything.

This one, I swear it was around week 13. He is just kicking me to bits in there!! Even as I type!

Not always the case - I felt DS at 16 weeks because my placenta was towards the back. I didn't feel DD until around 23 weeks because my placenta was anterior.

Yep, I felt this one the first time between 14 and 15 weeks With DD I felt her at about 16 weeks for the first time, didn't realise it at the time must have thought it was wind or something LOL

Its so exciting isn't it?

[briggsy's girl]

i have a posterior placenta and first felt bubba wiggles at 9.5 weeks (kinda thought i was insane at the time cos it was so early) - have felt consistent movement ever since though so i know it was real.

i have a rather sensitive uterus though - i doubled over in pain at each implantation! doesn't bode well for a nice comfy labour...

[Mama2two]

With my first son i felt movement at 17 weeks.. With second I'm sure i felt him around 14-15 weeks, but didn't say much just in case people thought i was crazy! I wish i had of now cause it was definatly my little bubs.

[~Saram~]

Gosh now I have to think back, I think it was 14wks for flutters with DS and by 17wks hubby could feel them too! With DD it was 10-12wks just little flutters by 14wks they were regular feelings.

Isn't it a wonderful time! Enjoy your little football star

My midwife also said you tend to feel them earlier the subsequent pregnancies because you know what you're looking for.

That makes sense too.
