Hi all, I'm 14 weeks pregnant with my second baby and im sure I can feel butterfly like movements.. I don't know if it's too early to feel it already! When did you first feel movements x

I was about 18 wks when I felt what I knew were movements. There were vague feelings before that but couldn't say confidently that it was definitely baby.

I'm 23 weeks with my first and felt the baby at 15 weeks dead on. I think 14 weeks is possible :)

I am 18 weeks with my first and I thought I felt small nudges over the last week. Always when I'm sitting down though. I Gp don't even know whether the gentle nudges are the baby's. Could be wind moving about what with the bloating.

With my first after 20 weeks i think (anterior placenta). With my second i was feeling movement very very early on (10 weeks?!). A Google suggested it is possible that early but rather unusual. No anterior placenta this time and baby was lying almost transverse, might have made a difference. I was worried it might be twins!

Yeah that's what I thought it could be .. wind but then it doesn't feel like it lol it's just the strangest little flutters every so often .. I'm not confident it's movement but I hope it's not just wind lol x

17 weeks both times. People say you feel it earlier with the 2nd but I didn't!

Mine was definitely baby not wind, head was up by my ribs and flutters (feet kicking?) were down by my left hip, exactly how baby was lying until after 20 w scan. All movement was the same until baby moved.

I'm 18w with second and feel nothing :(

With my first I was about 13/14w when I felt a weird lapping like waves. It was unmistakable.

Flutters around 19 weeks and only the occasional definite kick now at 24 weeks, but not regularly. I have an anterior placenta.

With DS1 others could feel the kicks at this point.

Suspected movement from 14/15 weeks, at 21 weeks unmistakable movements and they get stronger every day. 22+1 now and last night felt my first kick from the outside.

I started to feel very definite movement at 20 weeks and I had an anterior placenta.

14 weeks
14+5 to be precise. I was singing at the time and trying to work out what I had eaten to give me such funny digestive feelings 😁

I was 16 weeks with first - bubbles gently popping Smile.
Now 17 weeks with second and haven't felt anything - Scan indicated anterior placenta so may be a factor? Midwife said not to worry but I think it's the default setting of pregnancy!

I am 18 weeks with 3rd baby and haven't felt anything definite. I've felt something but suspect it was wind. I can't even remember how far along I was with the other 2
