Did I feel my babies move?

I swear I felt movement last night when I was laying down for bed.  On my lower left side I felt something that felt like popcorn popping.  It was sporadic and gentle.  Then it stopped and I haven't felt it again.  

I know it's early for fetal movement since this is my first pregnancy but do you feel movement earlier with twins?  Is it possible I was feeling one of my babies?

I would say around that time I would feel something like that, not often though. Now I definitively feel them. I think it's totally reasonable to feel them earlier than a singleton, but it's my first pregnancy too.

I suppose anything is possible, however, considering how early you are I'd say it's more likely that it was gas to be honest. I felt my first movement around 16 weeks and my OB said that feeling movement with twins is nearly the same as feeling movement with a singleton. Up until a certain point, the twins are both still so small that even though there are two of them, it doesn't mean you're more likely to feel movement.

This is what I was thinking.  I feel my pulse in my abdomen a lot. like all the time.  This was so different I was hopeful.

It's hard to rule out anything, since each pregnancy is so different.  But, I would say there's a really high chance it wasn't the babies.  I didn't feel what I knew was for sure baby movement until about 18 weeks.  At 20 weeks my spouse felt a kick on the outside twice, but nothing since then.  Now, I feel them move almost daily, but only from the inside.  One placenta is anterior though.

I felt that same feeling at about 12.5 weeks & it freaked me out because I was not expecting it!! I would only feel it occasionally while laying down.

I'm going to go with not babies just because you are so early.  I didn't feel my LOs until 20-21 weeks, and even then it was pretty faint.

I think it's possible. I have been feeling Baby B for just over a week and am pretty sure I felt Baby A for the first time today. This is my second pregnancy though, which I guess makes a difference, but some of the movements have been pretty dramatic and I wouldn't be surprised at all if a first-time mom could have felt them too. You'll know soon enough because the sensations will continue and grow or disappear.
