I am wondering how many weeks you were when you felt your babies first movements?

With my first I was 17 weeks (my DH also felt it at the same time I was very thin... Not so much now...)

They say second time mums feel it a little earlier?

About 9 weeks, second time with twins. This is when I started thinking the feelings I was getting could be baby - I dismissed it as wind to start with but at some point it was obvious that it hadn't been.

20 weeks both times, both times relatively slim but anterior placenta.

Just before 20 weeks even with anterior placenta. DH could feel st exactly 23 weeks. I'm almost 17 weeks with DC2 and sometimes think I can feel something but nothing definite yet.
