Is it too early to feel baby move?

ckegley80 · August 2013

I am going to be a STM and swear I felt the first flutters last night. I have a 10 month old so the feeling is not too distant to remember what it feels like. I am 10 weeks. Is it possible to be feeling the baby this early or is it in my head?

too early remember baby is only an inch long. You may feel this one earlier but not this early. My first I felt at 20 weeks my second at 16 weeks.

It's probably a little early, but I've been feeling some flutters too. But, it's been 5 months since I gave birth and I've felt phantom kicks/flutters since then, so maybe yours are phantom from your last pregnancy as well.

I've been feeling random flutters down there on rare occasions... I think it's just gas. lol

I felt my second at 11 weeks and I'm positive it was the baby - I don't think it's too early.

I agree:) I don't think it's to early either I felt my baby around 10 weeks if not earlier:)!

I thought I felt mine too! I am 12 weeks now, first time mom, but I swear it was nothing I have ever felt before!

I'm 13 wks 4 days with #2 and I SWEAR I felt the baby right at 13 wks. it just felt different than gas. it was one lil "bump".....SUPER light but it was in the right spot. and I've been feeling the same lil flutter everyday since. i only notice when I'm laying still though. I don't think it's TOO early.

I have felt this one since 11 1/2-12 weeks. But third baby - normal.

I "think" I've felt little flutters but I'm wondering if it's just gas bubbles or a twitch in my tummy...

I just felt this, literally seconds ago, and it was completely different then anything I have ever felt! I sure hope it was baby because I am convinced it was. It made me say Omg and stop and think about what I just felt! I wish I could hit replay!

I don't think is too early. I also felt the baby 2 nights ago when I was laying in bed. Thanks to my SCH I know exactly where the baby is at and I felt something, not a kick, but something like a very light flutter or a change in pressure in the front of my uterus, but from the inside. I've had phantom kicks too, but those are higher and I know what gas feels like and kicks that feel like gas too, but this was neither of those. I read about it the other day that our uterine muscles never go back to pre-preganncy strength, they are weak and looser and that can help second time moms feel the baby earlier.

I'm 12 weeks and got my first ultrasound today. The baby was SO active. Moving alllll around. The ultrasound tech said she was surprised I haven't felt anything yet. So maybe in a week or two you can be positive if you are or aren't feeling it!

If you watch the bump videos for each week. For week 12 she says if you press you can feel your uterus, and if you press you could make the baby wiggle but you won't feel her/him.

Sometimes I think I hear gas bubbles, but I've never heard those before I was pregnant so I think it's the baby. I'm almost 12 weeks so I think it would be very possible!

I don't think it's too early, especially if you're a STM. I felt baby move when I was 13 weeks -- I have to be lying flat on my back. My uterus is already poking way out, up at my navel (it feels like a big hard orange under my skin). I can't feel it from the outside, but I can from the inside. If you're a STM, you likely can tell the difference between gas and flutters.

I think it's nuts too. but I felt two large flutter feelings so far, and wondered the same thing. I am not convinced it was baby, but it is making me more excited to feel this again!
