Am I insane to think I can feel movements at 14 weeks?

This is my third baby, however I have a bit of an age gap and had an anterior placenta with my last DC so I can't remember when I felt movements with either of them.

Lying in bed (and on the sofa earlier) when there are no distractions, I cam honestly feel a rolling sensation in my lower abdomen. I'm telling myself it's gas, but it really doesn't feel like it. Plus I'm not gassy!

Am I going mad or has anyone else experienced it this early? I certainly look very pregnant but my dates are correct.

FTM here , I felt two small movements at 14 weeks 5 days then nothing until 17 weeks . I wasn't sure at first but now I'm definitely sure it was baby 🙂

I was certain I could feel it from about 13 weeks and by 17 I could see her moving around. I'm small and slight and my midwife said that this can affect how early you feel movement.

Nope definitely not crazy, with my first I felt flutters from 11 weeks and a first definite thud at 14 weeks!

I felt movement with my third at around 12 weeks. You know what you're looking for.

Great to hear other people have felt it too! I remember the sensation, just nit how many weeks I was for my first two DC. I wouldn't say I was small but I'm a healthy BMI which may explain why I'm showing so much (and I've read you do earlier with no. 3) so it's nice that I get the benefits of feeling the movements too!
