Real Poll - STMs+ Flutters!!!

Emerald27

Let's try this again:

When did you first feel flutters with your subsequent pregnancy/ies?

Emerald27

Also, do you feel them better laying on your back or on your side?

I started feeling her at 15 weeks, 2 days pregnant. I was actually sitting down and felt her pretty clearly... not just flutters, but actual movement, but of course it was only for a split second so I wasn't sure it was her. Then yesterday (15 wks, 3 days) while at the gym I was stretching on my back and I felt her for several seconds so I turned over to my belly and then I could definitely feel her very clearly.  I was also stretching on my stomach the first time I felt DS (first pregnancy) move.

I'm 16 weeks and haven't felt ones that I'm sure aren't gas yet.  I have an anterior placenta though, so I suspect that's contributing.

I still feel like it's really early.  I didn't feel DD until 21 weeks (I had an anterior placenta).  I haven't felt anything this time (posterior placenta).  I think baby only weighs like 2 oz right now, so I think the ones that are feeling movement are the lucky exception rather than the rule.

I started feeling flutters around 12 weeks. I was super surprised but it has always been in the same place since then. Im still feeling them, mostly when Im laying on my back but I felt them just sitting down too. They are getting stronger too which is so exciting!

I've felt movement once while lying on my back while using the Doppler and a couple times while sitting up, slightly slouched over.

I felt DS #2 around 13 weeks. I could feel it better laying on my back. I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow, so hopefully I get to feel this one soon!

I can't remember when I started feeling flutters with DD...I do know it was after 20 weeks before DH could feel anything.

lct2008

I felt movement with ds at 13w4d(?) it was somewhere in the middle of that week.
This baby I started to feel a little within the last week. I know it's very early. But very distinct. I've felt it while using the Doppler and also a few times while laying in bed.

I felt DS at 14 weeks.  I wouldn't consider it flutters - it was more like tapping or a muscle spasm.  I *think* I'm starting to feel some movement but I'm skeptical that it could be gas.  I'm always hopeful when the movement isn't accompanied by farts lol.  It feels slightly different this time, more like flutters I guess although I still don't think that's a good way for me to describe what I'm feeling.  Maybe by next week I'll be more confident that it's actually LO in there moving around!

I'll be 15 weeks tomorrow and nothing definite yet. I have felt possible light thumps but honestly it feels the same as gas to me. I don't know what everyone is talking about when they talk about cupping butterflies.

Last time I think I felt movement around 17 weeks and it was lying down on my side in bed. I shifted to my back and could feel it better. DH felt movement within a couple weeks of my feeling it so maybe I am just not sensitive to the early movements.

Since about 13 weeks I've had moments where I thought I felt something, but so far only two instances of no-doubt-about-it flutters.  The first time was just for a second right after I put DS to bed late in week 13, and then more recently, lying in bed.  The first time I was standing and the recent one I was lying on my side.

I still don't have anything consistent but I'm feeling "suspicious" activity more often this week.

It's sooo hard to say. I voted "before 13 weeks", because I was feeling little taps really early. I'm still not 100% sure they weren't gas, though. I'm 15w3d now and I have been feeling more definitive movement the last couple of days, but it's still not super dramatic. I feel the most movement when I'm sitting down with my legs crossed.

What is the feeling like? I'm 17 weeks today haven't felt anything . If you don't feel anything is that normal? I'll have to ask my doctor because I haven't felt or maybe I haven't noticed. FTM I'd like to start to feel flutters

Most FTMs don't actually feel flutters. Many start to feel kicks between 19 and 25 weeks, so don't worry if you haven't felt anything yet. I was hoping with #2 that I might feel movement earlier.

My doc just told me yeaterday that sometimes for FTM you don't usually feel them until between 18-21 weeks or so. So im 16 weeks 4 days today and very much looking forward to feeling them "for sure" i feel like occasionally maybe i have. But im not definite as im a FTM.

TxMama83

FTM here and I can't wait until I can feel those flutters!!!

CrisDee

I'm 13 weeks today and the only reason I know I felt movement is because I saw/felt my bean kick during my NT scan. Since then I have felt the same thing in the same place. Like a little tap.

My first had an anterior placenta so I didn't feel him for ages.

The only time I've felt anything I was fairly sure was baby was while using the dopler. Just once so far. I can't wait to feel it consistently!
