With my first I felt movements from 14 weeks, and that was with an anterior placenta. Everyone doubted me but I was definitely feeling them, they developed from there and felt the same just stronger.

I'm now 11.5 weeks and I swear the last few days I've started to feel movements. Google says this isn't possible, but it feels exactly like it did with my first. Am I going mad?

I'm no use at all. I didn't feel my baby move until sometime after 20 weeks.

You're not mad. With my first pregnancy I started feeling movements at 13 weeks and they became more frequent and stronger as time passed. In my second pregnancy I didn't feel movement until 18 weeks.

12 + 5 around 1pm on the day of our 12 week scan. It felt like a goldfish in a bag wriggling around :)

You're not mad, I could feel baby move before my 12 week scan. I thought I was losing my mind when I first felt it but it got stronger and stronger and could feel it on the outside by 16 weeks. My midwife said it was probably as I'm so slim (although I've read some people don't believe size makes a difference), plus I've got a posterior placenta this time and movements have been soooo much more obvious (felt it about 16 weeks with an anterior placenta last time).

@TheBirdintheCave I love that description 😂, that's exactly how mine felt too!

About 12/13 weeks with both ds1 and 2. Which stayed consistent all the way through. I think i felt ds3 at 13 weeks but then nothing until more like 20 weeks, he must have been in a different place.

I thought I was going mad too but from about 11 weeks I could feel DD. 25 weeks now and she's much wrigglier than DS was at this stage
