Feeling movements at 13 weeks

Is it too early to feel baby kick at 13 weeks.

I'm 13+2 by my scan 14 by my dates.

Every now and then I feel a tiny tap, surely it's too early. The placenta is at the back. With first baby it was at the front so didn't feel much until about 18 weeks.

You often feel baby moving earlier for 2nd babies. If you felt baby 1 at 18 weeks, baby 2 a month or so earlier doesn't seem unreasonable to me. Congratulations!

I did!

With ds2 - he was manic as a baby. A climber as a toddler and kept me fit chasing him when got older.

He is lovely, sweet, precocious and funny. And bloody hard work.

Good luck!

I thought it might be wind but there's nothing coming out lol

Congratulations! I remember feeling it around that time in my first pregnancy and putting it down to gas as I didn’t recognise the sensation. But as the weeks went on, it it became obvious that it wasn't wind, but the baby moving. Second pregnancy and I was obviously looking out for it.

Great thankyou.

On the 12 week scan the babies legs looked very long and feet were quite big!
