2nd Trimester

2nd baby- when did you feel movement?

With DD, I started feeling her just after 18 weeks.

A few times the past couple of days I *think* I felt little baby pokes, but I'm not quite ready to say it's the baby because I'm not even 16 weeks yet. Some people say you sometimes feel subsequent babies earlier because you know what it feels like.

 When did you start feeling baby #2 in comparison to #1?

Re: 2nd baby- when did you feel movement?

  • WIth My first it was about 20 weeks. With this one i was able to start feeling movement around 15 weeks and was able to see movement by 18 weeks.

  • It was later for me, due to the position of my placenta.

  • With my first, it was in the later teen weeks, and then it was like little butterflies or popcorn. I didn't feel actual movement until after 20 weeks. With this one, I didn't feel the butterflies. Instead, around 16 weeks I started feeling pushing sensations on the side that would last a few seconds here and there. Not until about 21 weeks did I feel kicks. Then on Thanksgiving they got more intense, and I can feel them from the outside (@ nearly 23 weeks).

  • With my first, it was 19-20 weeks.  With this one, I swear I felt the popcorn popping at 13 weeks but nothing on a regular basis until 17 weeks.
