Hi everyone :-)
I am 14 weeks with baby number 2 and think I might feel a little bit of movement every now and then, I didn't feel anything till much later on with my first so could well be imagining things lol, just wondering what others have experienced?
Thanks x

24 weeks DS and 20 weeks this pregnancy!

18 weeks with ds1, 13 weeks with this pregnancy.

It's quite common to feel it much earlier in second and subsequent pregnancies.

Dirtymistress · 14/07/2013 20:22

25 weeks with ds1. 11 with Ds2.

Just before 12 weeks with DC1, currently being kicked in the bladder right now at 20+1 :) I gather it's quite unusual to feel a first baby that early, though.

I started feeling like butterfly bubbly type feelings around 15 weeks which I think was him moving but I'm 20 weeks now and only really this last week have the movements been much more obvious and unmistakable. This is my first. Also he seems to move more at night once DH gets home from work, could be because its night time so I'm in bed so notice it more though

approx. 19 weeks with dc1, 16 weeks with dc2 and I am currently 14 weeks with dc3 and think I can feel little prods.

I'm 16 weeks with my 1st and am still waiting x

I had the fluttering at about 16 weeks (first pregnancy) for about a week, but nothing for two weeks now...I was worried but have had two appointments and heard the heartbeat and swooshing about as the little one was moving, which was reassuring. Maybe he or she is in a different position or maybe it wasn't the flutters after all (although I'm so sure it was!). Anyone else have this?

It's my first and I would sometimes feel a butterfly sensation very early on which I think was early movements! Started feeling it properly at around 18 weeks and now I'm 20 weeks and am getting proper kicks that DH can feel. Such a nice feeling! And yes miss ratty exactly the same about that sensation only coming now and again, I think it was positioning too.

Longfufu · 15/07/2013 07:19

Ds1 I felt slight movement at 14 weeks, DS2 around 22 weeks

Blanketsandpillows · 15/07/2013 11:41

19 weeks with my first

pumpkinsweetie · 15/07/2013 11:45

Around 19 weeks with my 1st, & 17 weeks with my other 3 dc. I'm currently 15wks with baby no5 and nothing as of yet, hoping to feel something soon

valiumredhead · 15/07/2013 11:56
