I didn't feel dc1 until late, dc2 I felt much earlier as my stomach muscles were shot by then, lol.

1st DC - 17/18 weeks
2nd - 14/15 weeks
BUT
3rd - did not feel anything til 21/22. Was terrified going into 20w scan that something was wrong. Anterior placenta, but don't know where it was for the other two.

Yes I did but I also had an anterior placenta with my first and I don't this time. Think I started feeling movements around 14 weeks his time but it was a few weeks after that when I could say for sure.

No I actually felt this one significantly later due to anterior placenta!

Think I was around 19 weeks with dc1 and 17 weeks with dc2. Such a lovely moment when you first feel them move Smile

I have had an anterior placenta with both first and second (currently 20 weeks with second) and I felt movements around 9-10 weeks with second, first was around 16-17 weeks.

I used the trusty google and then panicked as early movements can be a sign of a multiple and with my age there is an increase in chances! Luckily there is only one in there but it was a worrying few weeks to my scan!

No, both at 20w - but first was posterior placenta and this one is anterior, so perhaps would have felt earlier if not.
