BFP #4 6/26/13, EDD 3/8/14, Delivered @ 40w6d Bethany Elizabeth born on 3/14/14 @ 6:48am weighing almost 8lbs 1oz and measuring 20 1/2 inches.
17 weeks with the first, and this time around I also swear I felt something around 10 weeks. I have felt it a few times since and it's a strong fluttering sensation. No "kicks" of any sort.
I thought I felt flutters at 10 but brushed it off. But it was confirmed af my nt scan when I felt the flutters and that saw baby A was very clearly moving. Now at almost 14 weeks I can feel them pretty daily. I heard with twins you can feel them earlier and I guess as a stm I know what to look for.
I felt myflutters with DD at 13 weeks on the dot then very noticeable ki ks by 17 weeks.
With my first around 16 weeks. This time around I felt something at 10w6d after having a soda (needed the caffeine for a headache) and I guess it must have gotten the baby high on caffeine too. I haven't feel anything else until last Thursday when the nurse was trying to find the heart with the Doppler 11w5d.
With my first it was around 15 weeks. This time I have maybe felt something here and there, but not definitive enough to say for sure it was baby, so I am gonna say I have yet to feel this LO at 13 weeks.
I've never felt before 16wks, I know people swear they have/do and I'm not here to say they cant, but I think it is important to remembe how small our lo's are ... it's not that they aren't moving/kicking it's that they don't weigh enough for us to feel their movements. Gas pains are not felt just abdominably... also uterine stretches, ligament pain, etc...
I felt flutters around 15 weeks with DS. This time I sware I felt them last week 14 week s.

With my first, I felt flutters at 13 weeks. It was unlike anything I had felt up until that point and was unmistakeably the baby. I'm 12 weeks now, and I'm just starting to notice some quick little flutters that I that I could almost miss, but I wouldn't say yet that I'm positive it's what I'm feeling.
I first felt DD around 17-18 weeks but nothing consistent 'til closer to 20. I've been thinking I've been feeling something for the past week but then I remember how small and lightweight the baby is right now. I'm not expecting to feel anything for a few more weeks.

I dont THINK you'd be feeling the baby at this point. Most likely gas. Sorry to burst your *bubble* (pun intended)
I felt them around 19/20 weeks. Real big kicks, countable ones. Steady and strong ones. Before that I wasn't sure what was what, so I didn't want to count them. Now that I know what they feel like, I have started to feel the baby rolling. Maybe by 13 weeks. DD was VERY active, so I got to really get a feel for what the movements feel like. I wonder if LO#2 will be that active!
Re: Stm+.. when did you feel your first flutters?

I don't ever recall feeling "flutters". Felt "pings" around 17/18 weeks that turned into full out kicks by 20 weeks.
I've been very gassy this time around, so even if I did feel a flutter pretty sure I'd attribute it to gas. Nothing yet.
