Did you feel movement appreciably earlier the second time around? Last week at the NT the nurse asked me if I was feeling the babies yet and I said no, I didn't think so. But actually I think I am. I've had gas from day one but now I feel distinctive movements. But, I also seem to recall at this stage babies aren't moving intentionally they are just having uncontrolled movements. So I'm doubting myself. I'm curious what the consensus is -- earlier movements or not?
Re: Second pregnancies and movement
I did feel movement much earlier but with DS I had an anterior placenta and with this one I don't. I didn't feel DS until about 23 weeks, this time I started feeling movement around 15 weeks.
12-13 week babies definitely move a lot, but with 3 placenta's for cushion sometimes MOMs tend to start feeling movement later. I think it's possible but would be super early.

Well sweetie... when you've got 3 in there I think all the regular "rules" go out the window.
I thought for sure I was feeling Jace at 13 weeks but when I finally did really feel him at about 15 weeks I realized I had been wrong.
With you? I wouldn't doubt that you're feeling them. That's a lotta baby in not a lotta space.
Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
I felt Lucky sure-as-chit at 12 weeks this pregnancy. She's low, posterior, and well, she was a spaz back then. lol. (like a goldfish in a plastic bag. I thought I was nuts at first, but it was real.)
I seem to recall feeling Ava around 17 weeks'ish? but obviously didn't know what to expect.
Because we're fancy like that.
