Second pregnancies, when did you first feel movement?

Am almost 12 weeks PG with DC2 and can already feel that familiar popping, scrabbling about feeling I remember so vividly from my first pregnancy with DD.

First time around I felt movement at 17 weeks, is it possible to be feeling the same at 12 weeks or have I got something very odd going on with my digestive system?

Hiya, I am now 18 wks. I thought I felt movement at about 15 wks, but couldn't decide if it was wind or not?
My midwife said it was possible to feel it this early with 2nd pregnancy.
it is not very often, but feels like a rumble very low down?

About 14 weeks with DS2

I think about 16 weeks, can't remember if this is earlier or later than with first pregnancy. I had a posterior placenta last time, this time it's anterior so the movement is more 'muffled' than I remember. I was getting a bit worried about it until I had my 20 week scan and was told about the placenta position.

at about 13/14 weeks was really suprised but was very sure - popping / feathery tickles inside exactly the same as with my first ds. Kicks came a lot sooner this time too.

I started feeling movement about 14 weeks.
I was suprised at how early it was to be honest.

Im now 23 weeks and am constantly being booted. DH has felt kicks for weeks now and you can clearly see my tummy moving now.

Yes , I remember second time round feeling stuff way before you officially could.

GibbonInARibbon · 23/01/2010 21:25

I am 17 weeks now, was sure I felt it this time at 12 weeks. Now think it was wind

I am still not sure now tbh, feels the same as with DD but it could be wishful thinking. I am waiting for the more definitive movements now.

GibbonInARibbon · 23/01/2010 21:26

At times I am so sure then others...I just can't wait to feel something and know

ChasingSquirrels · 23/01/2010 21:27

around 11 weeks (ds1 had been 17/18 weeks). MW said it wasn't at all unusual.

Biw · 23/01/2010 21:33

18 weeks. the books say 16 weeks but i wasn't aware of any until 18 weeks.

Crazycatlady · 23/01/2010 21:34

Yes del exactly like rumblings, and very low down. Sometimes I think it's wind, but then there's nothing to show for it iyswim .

It just feels so like last time it's unreal. Haven't had a scan yet though, so of course could be a bit more PG than I think (although sure of dates), or twins ...

14 weeks for me too

BabyGiraffes · 24/01/2010 21:33

About 13 wks with the second

Thought I felt something at 16 weeks (but thought I was only 8 weeks, so dismissed it...)

Defo felt it at 18 weeks, and kicks at 19 weeks.

Only felt DD the first time at 21 weeks, so much earlier this time.
