Hey lovelies.. so I'm pregnant with my second baby my son is now 9 so really it's like my first again 🙈 I'm just curious to know from any mums of multiple pregnancies did yous feel movement a lot sooner than first pregnancy? And at how many weeks?

I'm 13 weeks with my second baby. My first is 12 years old so I get wot u mean by feeling it's like ur first time all over again. I've still not felt any movements

It's exciting isn't it.. I can't wait to have a little bundle about the house again and my son is so excited to be a big brother! I'm 14+2 weeks and I'm not sure if I've imagined it but when laying in bed on my back last night I thought I felt flutters but wasn't sure as I thought it was still to early! It's hard to know! How is your first child taking the news I bet there's a lot of excitement in your house too? ☺️

I'm 16+6 with my second and almost a 7 year age gap to DC1. Totally get what you mean by feeling like a first timer again! Everyone keeps saying you feel second babies so much earlier but still not felt anything yet 😔

I'm 20+3 with 2nd baby, my son is almost 7 so I'm in the same boat kind of feel like I'm starting again especially as my son was from a previous relationship. I started feeling movement about 15 weeks like little bubbles really low down, mainly when I was sat down in the car or on the sofa. Now I'm feeling all sorts of kicks throughout the day.

This is my 4th baby but third pregnancy ( twins first time) iv always felt movement early, all the placentas have always been at the back which I know makes a big difference to when you start feeling movement.

With this pregnancy I'd say I first felt flutters at 10/11 weeks.. I'm now 19 weeks and feel plenty of thuds and rolling, mainly in the evening when I'm sat but I do occasionally feel them when I'm up n about.

Everyone is different and where the baby likes to lay and the position of the placenta do make a difference xx

Thank you for the replies everyone! No one prepared me for how quick you show with second pregnancy so the bump is there abs I just can't feel anything, I've read that momvents are felt sooner with second babies but I suppose it is different for everyone! Just excited I guess, my son is from a previous relationship so this is my partners first baby and I'm just excited for the day he and my son can feel those precious kicks and wriggles! Good luck everyone with the remainder of your pregnancy I hope everything goes smoothly for you all 😊 xx
