Hi im 9 weeks pregnant with my second LO and since tuesday ive been feeling my baby move! Im in total shock as first time round I didnt experience this until 16 weeks, is this normal or could my due date be wrong? aslo ive seemed to have grown a very large bump in the past week, I was putting it down to ibs bloating as ive been off food so its not that ive been pigging out, any advise would be brill xx

thanks so much!! Now my biggest worry is a pram, I hate double buggies with a passion!! and I was in love with my pram I used for DC1 which I planned on using again :( so now searching online and cant see anything I like, they either cost an absolute fortune or are really bulky and im not the best of drivers haha! Really fancied one were the babies will face me but everything seems to be forward facing!

Wow congratulations! Fwiw I felt both my dcs move at around 11 weeks (singletons), everyone said I was imagining things Hmm

My friend has a baby style city select (I think thats what its called) and she loves it! I had a little go with it and its lovely to push and I've seen her fold it in about 2 minutes!

I just read the while post and you sounded like I did when I was having my boys. The night before my scan I felt a flutter both sides of my stomach but didn't tell anyone incase they thought I was mad - I already had a set of 2 year old twins but yup it was another set.

omg!!! 2 sets of twins! Thats amazing!! Ive been looking at loads of prams and the one im in love with is the compass twin its on amazon and ebay its made in germany but has fabulous reviews and the price is fantastic - 2 carry cots (side by side) , 2 push chair seats and 2 car seats all parent or forward facing it comes in 50 colours and is only £420 delivered!! so at the mo Im pretty sold on it x

Red - is that why you felt movement? Or was it your body adjusting to the extra baby? Congratulations, by the way!

I think I've been feeling movement since 10 weeks but not sure if it was gas or all in my head or my dates are wrong. Got my dating scan on Monday so I guess I'll see....! Don't think it's likely I'll be having twins.

thank you everyone for all the lovely messages! yes I told my family staright away and have also told my friends and work mates as im soo big I cant hide it much longer! Im now coming up for 12 weeks and im the same size I was when 20 weeks with my daughter so that is kinda worrying me!

Whirlingout - they say it was possible I felt some movement but wouldnt have been proper kicks and the majority of what I can feel is prob my uterus making extra room since theres two in there, they both have their own seperate placenta and bag of fluid so I guess my body has aot to deal with :) xx
