With the first one it took forever to feel movement. At least 20 weeks maybe more. With the second it was a few weeks sooner. I'll bet your tummy rumblings are baby!

I'm pg with my first and didn't feel any proper movements until 21/22 weeks. By this i mean a kick or something that was easily recognised as a kick and not my stomach rumbling etc! Had felt flutterings from about 19/20 weeks but as its my first these could have been mistaken for something else as i had no previous experience of what it felt like. With your second, third etc babies your apparantly supposed to feel movements a lot earlier as you've had them before so can recognise them. So at 17 weeks wouldn't be surprised that your feeling your little one shifting about
I remember thinking 'oh hurry up and move', now she wont stop and my god is it frustrating, especially at 4am in the morning when she's giving me a bit of the old left, right left! There's a boxer in the making here, just wish i wasn't her target practice!

I'm 28 weeks pg with my 2nd and didn't feel any movements til around 23 weeks this time,so I guess everyone is different.

I was 18 weeks with my first when I could say Yes! thats definately baby. No.2 I was 15 weeks and I am currently 25weeks pg with no.3, who I didn't feel until 19+3...... They are all very different, alot to do with the position of baby and placenta I think. Another few weeks and it'll be waking you up like mine is now.

I was just 14 weeks in last pgncy when I felt little one move. Was flutters and did feel him kick once before 15 weeks.

So it is very possible!

Hi. New girl here. Why do you all instinctively speak the same language? I think it's going to take years to work out all the abbreviations! On the subject of kicks, i'm pregnant with my third and def felt a huge kick the other night. (only 15 weeks now). Maybe you feel it more the more babes you have.
(did I do it? did I make a wee smile??)

I'm 37 weeks and I feel like I have a mole in there - burrowing its way out......
