I am currently 15 weeks with my second baby and can't believe that I can feel movements already! I felt flutters about 2 weeks ago but last night I really felt the baby going nuts! Actual kicks! I guess I am surprised cause I didn't feel DD until I was 28 weeks with her!
Anyone else feel them this early?
Oh I'm so jealous!! You lucky thing ;)
I think I've felt bubs but I can't be 100% sure yet. I keep hoping each morning when I wake up that bubs might have risen first and will give me some sort of indication that it's awake but no such luck yet.
What an amazing thing though, feeling our little bubbas move in there. :loveshower:
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!
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 :lol:
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!
I am fairly positive that I have been able to feel my baby since I was 12 - 13 weeks pg. My DH put his head down on my tummy to listen to the baby's heartbeat and he has felt it kick him in the head a couple of times so I know I am not imagining it. I am currently 15 weeks.
Congrats on feeling your baby move - it is exciting! Makes it feel more real :)
This is my first and I felt the flutters at just 12 weeks adn DP could feel them around 16 weeks. Now I'm 25 weeks and it wakes me up at least once a night with a massive kick/punch. lol. A blessing in disguise.
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? :dance:
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...
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.
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.
I felt movements at 13 weeks with DD#2....its amazing isnt it ???!!!!!!
I'm 13w1d with preg # 3 and suspected I might have been feeling the baby move a few days ago, then thought it was impossible this early and put it down to ... erm... wind.
But I have been feeling it on and off every day, esp sitting down and resting, which makes sense. Not mega kicks, kinda feels like little finger taps, like someone is tapping piano keys really lightly. Unbelievable!
I have felt the movements of course - that's why I wrote the thread but should you be concerend at this stage if you don't feel them regularly? IT comes and goes on diff days.
Hiya,
I answered earlier on, but to start with I would not feel movements every day especially if I was busy KWIM? I only noticed them more on days where I was sitting around not doing much. I would say that more than likely you've got nothing to worry about, but if you are I'd contact your caregiver and see what they have to say.
HTH :)
So many people say you can't feel movement this early but I felt it at 12 weeks.
It felt like the baby was rolling almost like a roller coaster and I felt really sick as it moved...weird but it was a definite movement :)
Its so great isnt it.
I was winging last week as to why i havent felt anythingim 18 weeks, and yesterday my midwife explained that the feelings ive been feeling is actually it. I was expecting more a hurting kick, but the feelings ive had are more bubbly sensations.
now he/she wont stop with the little kicks lol:D
