Pregnancy

When did you first feel your baby move?

I could definitely feel DS move when I was 14 weeks which I know is fairly early but I guess this is because I am quite skinny. I've heard with subsequent pregnancies you may feel movment sooner and I'd be interested to know what the earliest is that you've felt your baby move (and known for definite it's not your digestive system!)

Not sure, tbh.

Thought I felt movement at around 14 weeks, but I still get that feeling now and am no longer pregnant.

Impossible to know which sensations are digestion and which are baby until about 18-20 weeks imo.

I thought I felt my baby move today (I'm 12+4 weeks) but I'm not the most reliable person to ask as I thought I could feel DS moving a month after he was born!

Felt both definitely at about 18 wks. Probably felt something a bit before on the 2nd but couldn't be 100% sure.

First baby at 18 weeks.

Second baby at 10 weeks. At appointment with midwife she tried to locate heartbeat and was faffing about for ages - I said "look, just try here" (pointing to area where I'd been feeling movement). She was very and clearly didn't believe that I could feel the baby so early. Surprise surprise the heartbeat was instantly heard loud and clear at the exact spot I indicated

Wasn't sure until 18 1/2 weeks, but there were moving sensations during the couple weeks before that that weren't followed by burps/farts so must have been Squirmy...

I've been feeling things that i'm pretty sure are not just wind for the last week or so (i'm 13.5 weeks). It is it funny how the big early milestones (smiling etc) are always put down to wind at first
