Crazy Strong Early Fetal Movements...

well as the title suggests i am totally in awe of this bubba and seeking people with similar experiences to share their stories, because although really cool, i am also completey shocked at how full on bubbity boo is and i'm not even 13 weeks!

to give an insight, i started to feel flutters and the occasional kick about a week ago (so just before 12 weeks). didnt think much of it, as i was in a bit of disbelief and it was only every now and then. BUT after last night, i realise there is noooo denying the obvious LOL!

at about 9pm i was putting DD to bed after a BBQ dinner party and i was reading her a book on the couch when i got an ALMIGHTY kick. it was enough to make me jump off the couch and take a breath! and from then on for the next hour/hour and half it was "party in the uterus" time!!! at one point i was standing up in front of the couch as DH took over duties as i was just trying to contain the kicks and rolls going on as some were literally making me feel queasy. THEN my belly started moving...like visibly :o...enough for DH to notice from the couch so he quickly put his hand on my belly and could FEEL the baby moving (big phat kicks and rolls!!).

weird. and so full on!!

i have heard you feel things alot sooner with the 2nd. i cant wait to feel it.

sounds awesome :) can't wait to feel my lil bubba move

You lucky duck. I didn't start to feel proper movements until about 1.5 weeks ago. But now they are so frequent, im now at the point of worrying if i dont feel bub move all the time. I always stop what im doing and enjoy the movements. DP is jealous that i feel them and he can't yet lol.

That is cool :dance:! I think with DD I was about 15 weeks when i first really felt tumbling movements, before that it was a popping and scratching sensation :) I am really looking forward to the first movements this time :)

SNAP!!!!! Me too although I am only just over 9 weeks. I kept thinking it was my uterus moving and growing but these sensations felt different to the ouchie of the moving and growing of my uterus. Feels like butterflies in a whirl wind for me and happens quite often throughout the day. I did not think it was possy....but after reading your post....anything is possy!!!

Yay!!!!

I felt like that too when I was expecting twins...have you had a scan?

yelp, had the same thing with all three!

Maybe triplets ;)

Wow. That's really impressive!
I could feel DS tapping from around 14 weeks and it was strong enough to feel from the outside, but nothing like that. Have you had a scan...?

ahhh somewhat relieved that I am not the only with an active bubba in there!

i have the scan tomorrow.....eeeppp! DD keeps telling me there are 2 babies in there :o...does one believe the 'wisdom' of a 2 year old LOL?!

apparently the shower is bubba's favourite activity...whenever i turn off the water there are lots of kicks and rolls in what i can only gather are protests!

will be having a rather sleepless night tonight before the scan that's for sure :lol:

Wowsers !

The earliest i remember feeling anything was 14 weeks - but only flutters not full on kicks/movements...

Let us know the outcome of your scan - maybe there is more than one ??

Goodluck !

Good luck with your scan!

goodluck with your scan tomorrow- oooh it could be twins :)

Hi girls!!

well, i just got back from the sonographers! and can say with absolute confidence that there is only ONE bubba in there LOL!!

...but boy oh boy has it got attitude! we woke it from it's beauty sleep and obviously that was no good...kept headbutting and kicking the scanner thingy (my technical lingo) LOL! and has been kicking me on and off ever since!

i am measuring 3 days ahead, but will keep the original date as it is 6 one way half a dozen another IYKWIM.

thanks for the well-wishes and stories of similar kick-a-thons!! it's so interesting!

good to hear the scan went well, and wow you have one little active bub in there!

Congrats on a wonderful scan :)

xx

hehe. I remember feeling the first movements at about 12ish weeks. I had about 0% fat on my belly then and Charlie was really active. She still is.............

I loved it from about 5 months because i'd be randomly walking or sitting on the couch and i'd see her roll over and my stomach would distort. Scared the cr@p out of my friend who we were visiting at the time and also my parent's dog on a few occasions who thought my tummy was the best pillow ever!

It's really cool being able to feel life growing! :D

So glad your scan went well:) (although I am a wee bit gutted you are not having twins as they are such a wonderful blessing:lol:)

Glad to hear your scan went well - new bub sounds feisty like L already lol

Great to hear your scan went well!

With my second I felt the first movements about 12-13wks.

*mwah* thanks guys! it is so special sharing this with you all....man i only found BB after i had DD and i missed so much lol!!!

Traveller: TBH leading up to the scan i was a bit frightened of maybe seeing two bubbas, but the moment my eyes clapped on the baby, i realised that i would of been over the moon in love with both and the prospect of both...still, i reckon DH is mega relieved that there is only one in there LOL!

That's what I was like when I found out I was expecting twins (at 21 weeks!) The prospect of twins filled me with horror (everyone had been teasing as I was so big) until the moment I saw two babies and I thought "how could an extra child ever be a bad thing"

so so true! in the moment that the screen came up all my worries went away and i just wanted to see and know!

wow! finding out at 21 weeks!! i guess that made the baby purchases slightly different lol?!

Congrats ! Glad all is well !

Sounds like you have a cheeky, strong willed little one in there.
