any 2nd timers feel movement yet?

i feel like it's way too early for this, but i swear i've felt the tiniest little flip-flop for the last 3 days or so. i'll be 13 weeks tomorrow. i know what i'm looking for this time, but still...i feel a little crazy for suggesting it! haha

Re: any 2nd timers feel movement yet?

  • your not crazy:) my ob said after first pregnancy everything can be more intense. our bodies know what to expect. i thought i felt a flutter last night. i am almost 11 weeks. i was laying on my tummy and it felt like butterfly wings, it was really low. i think it was baby. trust your instincts, mommys know.enjoy the movements, they will still be infrequent cause lo is still tiny :)

  • I'm a '4th timer' at this, and, yes, I've felt movement for about a week now. I'm 11 weeks 6 days. Where are you feeling your movement? In the past, the movement I felt was always right in the middle. This time around, I'm feeling movement in the upper right of my uterus, but also feeling pressure on my bladder. My uterus is only about 3 cm below my belly button...hmmmm....I can't wait until I can palpate the baby/babies in there (not opting for an ultrasound unless my midwife thinks it's necessary).

    Anyway, I'm feeling little rolling flip-flops...which is what I've always felt first.

    yes, the rolling flip-flop is what i feel. if the baby were bigger it's the kind of movement that would make me catch my breath. it's right in the middle but i'm not sure just how low the baby is right now. i keep telling myself it's gas, but momma KNOWS what gas is haha. 

  • I thought I felt something around 11wk 4 days and maybe around 12 wks but it' still too hard for me to distinguish it between the baby moving or just gas. Im really not sure.

  • Yes, this is my third and I've definitely been feeling little movements.  It's usually only at night when I'm laying on my side, or when we're trying to find the heartbeat with the doppler.  Nothing that's constant yet, but I have felt a few flutters here and there for sure.  I didn't feel my first until around 17 or 18 weeks and it was 14 weeks with my second.  This one I feel a lot earlier.  I love it!!  :)

    I felt it around 13-14wks with DS2.  Nothing yet but muscle twitches with this one.  I'm not expecting it until 12-14wks with this one, tho.

  • I swear I've been feeling movement too! I posted about it last week because I thought I was going crazy. It started about a week ago. Tiny little flutters and muscle twitch-like sensations right in the right spot. I first felt DD at 14 weeks so it's not too far off. Enjoy it, it's the best part of pregnancy!
