they say that if you know what to look out for you can feel your baby earlier the second time around

Thanks

i had a flutter at 9 wks with ds, baby no.2 too. very reassuring for me as between dd and ds had 2 miscarriages.

Thanks

Mandymoo · 23/09/2005 17:12

so it is normal and nothing to worry about then? (because i am worrying about everthing atm!!)

lucykate · 23/09/2005 17:13

its normal and i would say a good sign!

Thanks

BunnyBoo · 23/09/2005 17:14

Hi mandy, You could well have felt them but i doubt they would have been high up as baby will still be very low down by your pubic bone at the stage of pregnancy, I am pregnant with my 2nd baby and i did feel things earlier this time but not till about 16-17 weeks

Thanks

Mandymoo · 23/09/2005 17:14

yippee!! Thank you! - is it "worrying" that im only 9 weeks pregnant but am gonna have to start wearing maternity clothes soon cos my bump is so big?!

OP posts:

Thanks

Mandymoo · 23/09/2005 17:21

bunnyboo - it was defo high up so i dont know what it could have been - and its getting more frequent and prolonged

OP posts:

Thanks

desperatehousewife · 23/09/2005 17:29

MM, don't worry. I'm on 2nd preg and was in maternity jeans at 6 weeks - couldn't bear anything tight round my middle.

Thanks

Mandymoo · 23/09/2005 19:43

I'm worried now about these flutters!!!!

OP posts:

Thanks

BunnyBoo · 23/09/2005 19:45

Oh honestly don't worry maybe it is bubbles ??

Thanks

BunnyBoo · 23/09/2005 19:45

How high do you mean?

Thanks

Mandymoo · 23/09/2005 21:09

OP posts:

Thanks

MrsSpoon · 23/09/2005 21:10

Wind?

Thanks

Mandymoo · 23/09/2005 21:11

god knows - they started off in my belly and now its up by my boobs! - could be anything!

OP posts:

Thanks

sniff · 26/09/2005 09:18

I have had that feeling all weekend I know its odd but do you think your clothes are a bit tight or uncomfortable and thats why you get the sensation

Thanks

Toothache · 26/09/2005 09:24

Mandymoo - Its bloody wind woman!!!!!! Thats why its moving up..... rather that than it moving down eh??

Thanks

Enid · 26/09/2005 09:27

I get this even when I am NOT pg - it is muscle spasms - probably due to strain on them as everything shifts around - sorry not wind or baby unfortuantely!

Thanks

Toothache · 26/09/2005 09:28

runs back in<

Could be wind though....

dashes out

Thanks

Enid · 26/09/2005 09:30

its not wind! I asked my gp about it (kept getting it when not pg and feels just like a baby moving around)

believe me I know what wind feels like (sad)

Thanks

Toothache · 26/09/2005 09:32

Maybe not windy bubbles in your case.... but in MM's case it could be.

runs away from pregnant hormonal women

Thanks

Enid · 26/09/2005 09:32

yes true

Thanks

Enid · 26/09/2005 09:32

now piss off

Thanks

Toothache · 26/09/2005 09:33

Should read:

runs away from pregnant, hormonal, farting women

Thanks
