What’s the earliest you’ve felt baby move?

[isambardo]

I’m 14+4 with dc3 and for the first time the placenta is at the back so I should feel more movements than previous pregnancies.

In the last couple days I’ve felt a few little bumps (not bubbles, I’d definitely call it bumps) but I feel like it’s too early for it to be the baby. Has anyone felt movement as early as 14/15 weeks?

[Tilliebean]

I think I did with DC2, probably around 15 weeks. First was anterior, this one is posterior. It definitely felt like rolling for me.. not bubbles!

[jaychops]

Yes, 14 weeks with both DD and this one now (20 weeks). Midwife didn't believe me first time round! With both, DH and I could feel from the outside by 16 weeks. I know that's unusual though.

[isambardo]

That’s exciting, so it could be movements and not just my imagination! I’m so glad my placenta isn’t anterior again this time.

Thanks both.

[Wellthisunexpected]

14 weeks with DS.

[motortroll]

13 weeks with baby no 2!!! (V exciting as I had to wait to 20 weeks with first!)

[melse2964]

About 15/16 weeks felt the odd bump by 19 weeks definetly felt lots of movements

[Havetothink]

Yes, 13 1/2 weeks, I had a scan at 14 weeks and the sonographer confirmed it was possible as the baby was so close to the skin.

[SoHumble]

Felt DC2 move crazily early, before the 12 week scan! Think it was about 9 weeks.

[MooChops89]

14 weeks with DD, she's my first. Felt like a goldfish was living in my belly!

[Rebecca36]

Just under 16 weeks and after that it didn't stop until the birth :-).

[DailyMaiIisMyBogRoll]

I did definitely. I didn’t realise what they were that early in my first pregnancy, but I certainly felt them. Second baby it was similarly early again.

[Tortycat]

i swore with dc2 i felt something at 12 weeks. The sonographer at my svan said it couldnt be the baby but it felt exactly like kicks. ah i miss being pregnant and feeling baby move!

[gigi556]

Exactly 15 weeks here!

[JustVent]

Yes 14 weeks with DS1, DS2 and DS3.

[SamSmithYawnsWhenHeSings]

11 weeks with dc2 I felt familiar flutterings.

[Owlettele]

14-15 weeks with DD and 13 weeks with DS. Love those early movements . So exciting. Congratulations xx

This is my first with a posterior, the other three were all anterior. I swear I felt him for the first time at 10 weeks which is super early but it was such a distinctive feeling, I can’t imagine it being anything else. It happened every so often for the following 4 weeks until the movements became daily and stronger.

[BlueBug45]

Yes 14 weeks with baby and it hasn't stopped.

Not sure why you think it's too early.

[Charlottejade89]

Around 14/15 weeks with my first and I have anterior placenta

[Isambardo]

@bluebug45 it’s just because it’s massively earlier than in my previous pregnancies, 4-6 weeks earlier. Position of the placenta clearly makes a big difference in my case.

I wasn’t aware movements could be felt this early. It’s a nice surprise!

[mumofmunchkin]

I felt them around 14 weeks with my second

[Saraswati]

flutters at 11/12 weeks with this pregnancy (no.2 now 22 weeks) was around 15/16 weeks with my first. Proper stomach churning kicks and flips now that you can see and feel from outside now!

[Soubriquet]

9 weeks here with my second born

Only because I knew what to look out for.

If it was my first pregnancy, I wouldn't have known but I knew those butterfly bubble feelings was my little bean moving around

[vampirethriller]

16 weeks, 24 weeks now with my first!

[SadSongsAndWaltzes]

14 weeks with first, 12 with second, and about 20 with third (anterior placenta). Congratulations!!
