I'm 17 wks pg with no. 2 and am just not sure if this baby has moved yet. Have felt "something" a few times that is like wind/twitching nerves etc but not everyday and so am now wondering whether I imagined these "movements"!! Also, it seems that everyone else on their 2nd is feeling something from 13 wks onwards!! Help - am I being paranoid?

This is my third. I felt the first movement (a small wriggle) at 14 weeks exactly, then nothing till 16 weeks (another wriggle), then more frequent and stronger movements from about 20-22 weeks up.

Hi, I wouldn't worry either, I felt them quite early with my 1st, but with my 2nd think it was actually later, once he started he never stopped!

Thanks for that - feel quite reassured now! Tried to talk to dh about my concerns last night and he said he was sure there was nothing to worry about - but it just didn't seem to reassure me in the way talking on mumsnet has!!(cant think why!?

Had my secod baby four months ago and I was worried about the movements (or lack of) too, I finally felt the proper butterfly flutters at 20 weeks.
Congratulations!!!

i was 20 weeks pg when i felt a tap inside my belly next to my belly button. me and DP was disagreeing on summat and when we finished baba tapped my belly (very faintly), towards the end baba never kept still. midwife even said you've got a very active baba..
