3rd baby... do you feel movement earlier?

[Bear45]

Hello,

I'm 13 weeks with my 3rd baby.
Complete shock/surprise but over the moon with the news, had my dating scan and I'm 13 + 2, baby was wriggling loads.

Just wondering will I feel movements a lot earlier?
My youngest is 11 so it's been a while 😂
Sometimes when I'm lay in bed I think I can feel a slight flutter but I'm guessing I'm making that up as it's too early?
I'm quite slim and usually have a flat tummy, I've got a little bit of a bump appearing, I guess I'm just excited to feel baby move 😊

Hi @Bear45! Congratulations on your surprise bundle of joy. I'm also expecting surprise baby #3! Takes a bit of getting used to doesnt it 😂🤣 I'm 16 weeks and have been feeling little flutters since 11 weeks, very spaced out though. I'm now starting to feel it a bit more. It is a reassuring feeling isnt it. To be honest I keep forgetting I'm pregnant lol!

How are you feeling? Xx

Congratulations!

I'm 36+6 with third baby. I definitely felt flutters a lot earlier with this one but I think that's because I actually knew what to look out for. My first I had no idea what was movement and what wasn't and my second I had an anterior placenta so didn't feel much throughout whole thing. I will definitely say I felt a lot more pregnant early on with this one though!

I’m 18 weeks with my third and I’ve been feeling movement since 13 weeks this time. It’s my first pregnancy to have a posterior placenta too so I think it may partly be down to this too.

It's strange, I don't feel pregnant most of the time now sickness has gone. Just bloated and need the toilet more 🤣 got a private scan on 28th to hopefully find out what we're having, my girls can't come to the hospital ones so it'll be special for them too.

So I'm not completely crazy thinking I can sometimes feel it? Usually when I'm lying still in bed, I actually can't wait for my girls to be able to feel/see it move 😊

I’m 15 weeks with my 3rd and haven’t felt anything yet - baby has been super active on all the scans though inc last week so it’s just a case of waiting. With my second I felt movement around 18 weeks
