Exciting Movement...

So I've been feeling baby move for probably about a month now, so from about 20 weeks (I'm 24w1d). My husband felt him move on Dec 1, so outside movement has been going on for a while too. I was told I have an anterior placenta and was very excited that I've been able to feel him so much.

Well today, after I got back from my doctor's appointment and sat down to check on all the posts I missed while I was gone it felt like he was doing somersaults over and over again and I could feel him moving across my stomach. So I lifted up my shirt and sure enough, I could see him doing this I was excited that there is outside movement now! I feel like I'm ahead of the game because I was told that I probably wouldn't even be feeling that much movement yet.

Is anyone else seeing outside movement yet? I'm excited, but I'm sure fairly soon it's going to start getting more painful with him running out of room. I didn't think I was that small pre-pregnancy other than being short, but I've only gained 6 pounds so far and have popped quite a bit (I've already gotten the "Are you sure it's not twins? You're gonna pop! You have a basketball in there! When are you due?!?" questions lol) so I'm guessing he's starting to run out of room.

Last night my SO felt him move for the first time, and this morning while catching up on some Hulu, I saw my stomach "twitch" which was really the little guy kicking in there. I'm 24 weeks, and a full figured mom, so I was really excited on both accounts!

I started seeing LO move from the outside at about 2021 weeks, I am 25 now. It's so awesome to watch from the outside! Although I do wish he knew how to sleep at night. He seems to be quite to night owl!!

I've been seeing outside movement since about week 23. It was scarce earlier on, but now I see it almost daily. I love it! Although, like you I am wondering when it's going to become uncomfortable.

I've seen outside movement since about 20 or 21 weeks. I stare at my belly every evening now, just in case it moves.

I have an anterior placenta and also thought I wouldn't be feeling movement until late, but I went from feeling the first kicks at almost 19 wks to seeing movement at 21 wks to now being kinda over it (hard kicks, constant kicking in the middle of the night, kick to the ribs, general discomfort, baby why don't you ever sleep) at 24 wks. WTH? As annoying as it is at 3am when I'm woken from a dream that there is a mosh pit in my belly, I know that I would freak out if I didn't feel anything for a few hours.

I did start about 10 days ago and its not as frequent yet as the other 2 pregnancies were.   My 2 boys were very active and as they got bigger movement was constant.  So now my husband thinks this may be a girl.  But it is fun to watch no matter how many children you have had.
