When did you start to feel movements in your second pregnancy?

I'm 7 weeks with DC2 so too early for me. I felt my first movements at around 14 weeks with DS so quite early and I'm hoping it might be even earlier this time :)

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I started feeling them for detonate at around week 21, now at 22+4 they are getting stronger everyday! I've heard people feel them sooner in second pregnancies!

1st pregnancy around 16 weeks.
2nd pregnancy...I didn't know I was pregnant...I have PCOS & don't ovulate often so can go for up to 11 months without a period. No symptoms at all. Felt a movement, thought I'd imagined it then it happened again a few hours later. It was just before xmas so getting a dating scan took 7 weeks. My scan put me at 25+3 so I felt movements around 17 weeks.
Was a bit of a shock to be honest

Best of luck with your pregnancy

First time around 20 weeks, second time 18.

Willow33 · 14/04/2015 13:41

I thought it would be significantly earlier second time around but it wasn't until around 20-21 weeks.

Dr0pThePirate · 14/04/2015 14:02

First time around 22/23 weeks? I remember it was before 25 weeks.

This time 18 weeks for definite! DP even felt the movement! It was so strong, much stronger than the initial flutters 1st time.

BifsWif · 14/04/2015 18:30

17 weeks second time around

Carrierpenguin · 14/04/2015 18:32

10 weeks, just flutterings but watched it move on the scan and felt it so know it's baby

glasgowlass · 14/04/2015 21:41

Thank you coffee, it certainly was & took a while to process it tbh. That wee shock turned 2 last week!

Sleepybunny · 15/04/2015 14:24

16 weeks for sure the first time, with DH feeling it at 18weeks. I'm 8 weeks with DC2 and I'm also hoping for earlier! Although since having DD1 I feel lots of bubbles and muscle twitches anyway, so I'm not sure if I'll know for definite this time!

SomewhereovertheRainbow02 · 19/04/2015 19:33

I was about 15 weeks with my first but much later with my 2nd. Have felt little where they weren't they flutters from about the same but only Definate baby movements at 19+ weeks so much later with my 2nd.

aletea · 19/04/2015 20:26

12/3 weeks with my 2nd. Can't remember with the 1st.

WinterBabyof89 · 19/04/2015 20:34

16 weeks with first,
15 weeks with second,
And I'm currently 12+3 with my third and I've began to feel a couple of movements although not strong enough to say for definite.

Gunpowder · 19/04/2015 22:11

22 weeks with first (low anterior placenta) 12 weeks with second.
