Movement at 13 weeks?

Is it possible to feel the baby move this early? I’m sure I felt something like a flutter but it seems too soon for it to be the bab!

Is this your first pregnancy? I've heard of people feeling movements early in second and subsequent pregnancies but I think it's usually from about 16-24 weeks in a first pregnancy (not to say it can't happen earlier, it's just very unusual as baby is still teeny tiny).
I felt nothing till over 22 weeks and those first movements were very easy to mix up with gas type bubbles.

It is my first - I expect you’re right and it was something digestion related! It’s too easy to read into every little movement 😬

I've been having flutters since 12-13 weeks and it's my first pregnancy. Currently 24 weeks and got my first kicks around 18 weeks.

I felt my first DC at 17 weeks, but now pregnant with my 2and and it was definitely around the 13 week mark, now at 19 and it's like a washing machine going round!
Midwife said it's usual to feel second pregnancies earlier because the muscles are more damaged (!) But I think it would be unlikely with your first.
But who knows??
Congratulations either way!

I felt my second baby at 13 weeks and my first around 16 weeks so it is possible but unsure if it will be the baby if it's your first Hmm xx

I did at 15 weeks with ds but pregnant again and have def been feeling wee nudges or like a bubble bursting since about 13/14 weeks. It is around the same times and always in the same place roughly and too frequent to be gas.
