I have been denying it for the last couple of weeks that I can feel my fundus over my pubic bone. Today I had a proper feel and it is at least 3 or 4 fingers above - its almost half way to my belly button FFS .

I know what it feels like - I am on DC3 and it has never popped over before until around 12 weeks. I am not talking about looking pregnant / bloated (although I also look that but thats just the last two babies ). This is definitely fundus.

I am 10 weeks .

I am also convinced I can feel tiny flutters of movement - enough today to actually question it rather than wondering if I am going mad. I can't be further on than I am.

So please tell me you could feel yours sooner on subsuquent pregnancies and I'm not actually having a litter

Nooo you are not alone! On my last (3rd ) I was about 10 weeks and I could feel 'it' like a tennis ball under my hand above the pubic bone. I could feel little flutters too, which at 12 weeks becmae big ones. From a very eraly point I could feel Braxtons, so it felt like my womb would push up and go hard from about 10 weeks and could feel baby. Bizarre feeling but amazing too!

Yes thats exactly it - so weird compared to the first two pregnancies which were much later.

There was only one in there right?

Oh yes, just the one!! Although I did wonder!! I think the tightening thing is good; your womb tonifying and strengthening??
Am about 6 weeks on #4 at the moment and am not sure whether I can feel that whole tightening thing going on already?! Hopefully it's a good sign..
Really hoping you have many more tennis ball moments to come!

Good - was worried you had triplets or something . I think I am just paranoid as twins would be a huge upheaval (wouldnt want to view it as a 'problem') and this is definitely the last DC!

Yup I'm the same. The midwife said I was quite high whan she checked for the FH at 11 weeks with the doppler - she was sure I was further on but am not (FH heard loud and clear). I swear I have felt movements from about 10 weeks. I am continuously feeling flutterings.

Last week as I was standing at the school gates for pick up (at 13 weeks) I felt a massive jolt in my stomach like an electric shock and was freaked out as what it was!! It could not have been wind .

I am assuming that as this is my 4th pregnancy and my last one was twins, that my stomach muscles are so buggered that I will be feeling every little squirm. I am also feeling the tightenings as well. All this is good as I am feeling so shit that these positive feelings are really making me feel better!
