Since having Emily, I get phantom kicks pretty often.  Now, since I'm only 8 weeks pregnant, I'm pretty darn sure I'm not feeling baby.  It's the size of what, a raspberry?  And it's got buds for feet and hands.  Unless I'm giving birth to a Super Ball, those blips I'm feeling aren't baby.

So, when it's time to actually feel this kiddo, will I recognize those first flutters as LO, or will I mistake them for more phantom kicks?  Also, how early is it reasonable to be on the lookout for flutters when it's your second baby?

Buahaha your title cracked me up! I'm sure you'll be able to tell. I mean won't they be more subtle then the phantom kicks?

See, that's what I want to know.  Will it be more subtle or more distinct/obvious?

I swear I felt Hunter waaaay early; not kicks but a weird rolling sensation. I wanna say around 10 or 12 weeks. Totally jealous bc feeling the baby move was the only enjoyable thing lol

For me I couldn't tell if I was feeling baby or not. I wanted a strong kick to know for sure. I felt Wes at 17 weeks a this one at over 18. But when I felt this baby, I knew for sure they were little kicks. Unmistakeable!

AW I miss those days! And yes you will feel the baby much earlier with your second pregnancy, although im sure it's not quite kicks you are feeling yet. But you never know!!!!

He/she could very well be moving in there. Its not kicks, but movement. I remember at my 8 week ultrasound she was straight up break dancing in there.
