Hi everyone, this is my first time posting, but I've been reading the posts for the last couple of months and they've been really helpful.
My question is this: I had a tummy tuck two years ago and my muscles were tightened. This is my first pregnancy and I began to feel movement at around 14 weeks, although didn't realise it was movement at first. When I was asked at the 15 week midwife check if I could feel movement, I said I thought I could and she told me it was too early.
I'm now 18 weeks today and yesterday noticed that, when lying on my back, I can see the baby moving, pushing out at the bottom of my 'bump' (although there's barely a bump there) and can also feel the baby moving by placing my hand on the area. Is this normal so early or should I be worried that there may not be enough fluid or something? It may have something to do with having the muscles tightened, but has anyone else felt movement from 'outside' so early?
I think I may be worrying for no reason, but there seems to be so much to worry about! Thank you.
