Baby Movement

So I'm 10 weeks and 3 days. Whenever I'm VERY still I can feel little fluttering in my lower abdomen. Is it possible to feel the baby this early?!

Unfortunately not, baby is a little too small for you to be able to feel movements just yet. There's a great thread on the second trimester board I believe it's stickied to the top that talks about when you'll be able to feel baby move. We're almost there!

I'm 12 weeks and felt something the other night. I swear it was the baby but I don't think it's big enough to feel yet. I didn't say anything to anyone out of fear they would say it was just gas or some other bodily function. it felt so different though and very fluttery. Glad I'm not the only one!

Not yet. It's either gas or your other organs shifting to make room for your growing uterus. The baby's arms and legs are still too stubby. Believe me, when you actually do feel it, you'll know.

I'm 11 weeks and just started feeling flutters. It's very possible according to my midwife. Is this your first?

13/14 weeks your baby actually gains the ability to bend it's arms and legs. Some women report more "flutters" after that, but chances are slim. At 10 weeks your baby is actually still sitting so low that it's protected by your pubic bone, so your lower ab would be very unlikely. At this stage it is probably gas... I am 13+1 and I haven't felt a thing. First time moms do not feel much until 15-18 weeks and second time moms will feel it sooner.

I've had two kids. Believe me, there were times I felt fluttering when I was 100% NOT pregnant. It's even got a name. Fantasy kics/movements or something like that. You are not feeling movement this early, unfortunately.

Here's how I look at it... it's not the baby yet, in terms of a kick etc. However, it is caused by the baby; whether it's gas, organ shifting, stretching, or whatever the case may be. Just a few more weeks and it will be actual baby kicks!
