Currently 11+4 with second baby. I felt my DS around 16 weeks. Will I feel this one any earlier?

Congratulations! It's quite possible, yes. I'm currently 25 weeks with DD and I felt her at about 16 weeks (to be honest I'm sure I was feeling bubbles and things a week or 2 before then but I don't know, was maybe a bit early and possibly just gas - I was very bloated!) but didn't feel DS until I was about 18 weeks.
I think the second time round you know what it feels like so you're more tuned in to what's happening.

I was expecting to feel movement earlier with 2nd (felt definite kicks with DS at 19 weeks, never flutters etc) but with DD it wasn't again till 19 weeks I felt kicks and missed earlier movements. Guess every pregnancy and mum different, though both pregnancies I've had probs with bloating and diarrhoea, so maybe just put baby movement down to tummy troubles :)

Hi I'm 18 weeks and 3 days pregnant with my second baby and I just felt first movements three days ago. Was like bubbles in my tummy. With my first think I felt first movement at about 20/21 weeks.

I felt my first definite kick 3 weeks earlier in 2nd pregnancy than in my 1st. 20 weeks with first baby and 17 weeks with 2nd. Felt flutters for a few weeks before with baby 2.

I think it's a combination of knowing what it feels like and stomach/uterus having been stretched etc before.

I felt first and seconds babies at 20 weeks for definite. Before then I was never sure if they were baby or gas!
