Hello,

This is my second pregnancy and was quite shocked to feel baby move around so early!
Anybody else?

Somedays I do look 6 months pg because of sluggish digestion but this is definitely not just wind.

And I'm not just talking tiny little flutters. If I lie down and tune in and breathe deeply, I can feel him/her kicking and moving.
Most noticeable after a meal/drink.

It's just lovely. So far was completely non plussed by the idea of being pg, but I had obviously forgotten how this feels.

Oh, and you know that sensation of the womb going rock hard after you've been sleeping on your side?
That too.

Slim, yes I felt ds2 at about 11-12 weeks. I was flummoxed! Lots of people said I was making it up, but lots said they felt theirs too

I believe you!!!!

no worries miss Vicky, it's going to happen soon.
For DS felt it around week 18/20.
Try a glass of sweet juice, lie down and tune in.

Slim 22 I'm in the same boat.
This is my first baby and I've been feeling him kick, wriggle around since 16 and a half weeks. Am now just over 18 weeks and he's kicking very stongly.
Like you it's if I lye down and often just after I've eaten.
I'm a size 8 to 10 so maybe it's because there isn't a lot of padding to absorb the kicks?!

Also have a very sizeable bump(tho haven't put on any weight elsewhere) and slightly worried this baby is either massive or hyperactive!

I didn't feel my first baby until I was about 21 weeks which i think is fairly normal, but I am convinced that I felt number 2 at 13 weeks although they nearly laughed me out of the midwifes office when i told them, but I know what I felt and it has been regular ever since. I am also absolutely huge with this one (17+4 wks) which is worrying me somewhat as my first baby weighed in at a whopping 10lb 6ozs and although I have put in an order for a 6/7lber so I get a baby rather than a 3 month old on delivery, I don't think this one is listening to me!!!!
