further along than thought??

[Ra88]

background : had a MMC in march , pregnant again after next cycle.
I had an early scan at 8 weeks all fine , another at 12 weeks 2 days and was put forward to 13 weeks by scan measurements. also was told at 13 weeks that the baby was a boy.

I have been to my midwife today and she seems very surprised by :

1. them being able to know the sex so early and telling me

2. that iv felt first movements from 12/13 weeks

3. he heard heartbeat straight away at 14 weeks after telling me she prob wouldnt be able to

4. at 18 weeks iv felt kicks with my hand and can actually feel baby to touch sometimes

she thinks maybe I'm further along but surely not by that much ... :s second baby btw!

also to add I actually felt the kicks at 17 weeks I am now 18 weeks

I felt kicks from the outside by 17 weeks easily with my second, are you usually very slim? I thought maybe that was why I could? I also felt flutters at 13 weeks with my second.

I'm a size 12 but pretty flat stomach (well not now!) but the midwife seems to think I may be put forward again , hope not I don't want to be even closer to Xmas ! :/

I don't think any of that's too unusual! I felt movement from 14 weeks, last time DH felt baby from outside at 18. I'm sure hearing heartbeat at 14 weeks is doable too!
