Can it be slightly sooner with subsequent pregnancies because you have had the flutterings before and don't just put it down to wind?

I am 13 weeks and have statred to feel very slight flutterings that really took me back to when I was pregnant with my first dd.It seems a bit early though..I thought it would be more 15-20 weeks.
Anyone else felt early movements?

Ive felt something similar twice now - I am around 14 weeks with my first.

First time was in the middle of the night about two weeks ago, when I was sort of half a sleep and felt fluttery stuff, and then last night, about 8pm, after a nice long bath, I was sat on the sofa and I definitely felt it again. Girl at work reckons it is wind, but I know what wind feels like!

Perhaps it isn't LO but I would quite like it to be!

I have only ever had these pushing/flutterings when I have been pregnant and they continued and got stronger over the weeks last time.

It doesn't feel like trapped wind as I get that too at the moment and that is more painful than butterflies!

I think you may well have felt something as in bed and in the bath seem to encourage movements or you just notice them more because you are still and relaxed.

It is a cool feeling! :-)

I'm pregnant with #2 and felt it at 15+2. Last time it was more like 19/20wks so was really surprised!

I think if you know what you're looking for you know much sooner, so I don't see why it wouldn't be?

I think I,ve felt the first fluttery movement too. Last night for the first time and this morning (I think ) This is my first pg so I don,t really know what to look for but going by what other woman have described it felt like wee fluttery air bubbles inside me. I,m 18.5wks so I suppose it,s v possible although I,ve been told lots of times that I probably wouldn,t feel anything til 20/22wks. Anyway, now I,m on the look out for more movement nothings happened. Typical xxx
