When did you feel the baby?

When did you first notice baby movements? And was it #1 or #2 or more?

 I noticed movement with #1 at 14 weeks, which was early for a first baby.

Anyway, I'm curious about this because I felt something that felt a lot like baby after dinner last night and again after breakfast today. I'mnot quite 11 weeks, so it seems strange, but it feels like little scratches/twitches, and it's a new sensation - not the 'usual' gas flutters... Anyone else feel the baby very early? Is there any possibility I'm feeling this?

felt movement w/ DD around 18 wks.  i sometimes THINK i feel this one at times, but it's just not possible, i don't think.  the bean isn't even 1/2 an oz. at 12 wks.  it's probably just some muscle twitch or gas or something.

Gobigblue, most moms feel #2 at, on average, 14 weeks. You're very close. You probably ARE feeling baby!

I think anything is possibe...I didn't feel any type of movement until 18 weeks or so. There may have been some earlier movement but I just wasn't able to detect it.

10-11w seems kind of early, even for a #2 baby.  But then again, you felt #1 early, too, right?  It could be possible.

I was pretty late in feeling actual movement/flutters. Plus, I'm anterior placenta and a little chubby!    For about a month and a half, I could feel the EFFECTS of the movement---pain in certain areas when the kid was kicking on organs, nerves etc.  During my 20w U/S, we could physically see the kid kicking on stuff and I could certainly feel that... just not the average arm or leg movement until a little bit later.

For me, it was between 18 and 19 weeks when I knew for sure.  Although, I was having lots of flutters in my belly prior to that and I figured it was gas or overactive belly.  Now though, I'm sure it was my baby girl.

With #1, I had an anterior placenta, and I felt the first noticeable movement between 21-22 weeks.

With this pregnancy (#2), the placenta is posterior, I weigh less than I did in round 1, and I am fairly certain I felt movement at 13 weeks!  It wasn't terribly consistent, but I am quite sure that's what it was.  I do think it's possible you could be feeling something.

I went to the dr. this am.  I am 16 weeks with No. 1. Dr. asked if I felt andy movement, I told him no.  He said, "Don't worry, if you told me you did, I would have said that's great but I would be pretty sure you haven't felt anything yet." He said 20 weeks with No. 1 and 16-17 weeks with No. 2 or more.

I felts a very weird fluttering very early, right near my overlapping abdominal surgery scars, that was about 12 weeks.  I didn't feel anything else until 25 weeks, though.
