  Nope. I don't think you can feel a 9 weeker though. Sounds like gas unfortunately.

  Second BFP 6/2013, resulted in DS, born 2/23/14 :-)

  Third BFP 5/2015, natural MC at 6 weeks

  Fourth BFP 8/2015, hoping for sticky little brother or sister to H!

  I think it really does depend on how in tune you are with your body.
  People will tell you it's far too early and that it is gas, however I have four children and have become very in tune with my body. They say 16 weeks is the norm however once I knew exactly what it feels like I knew earlier with each pregnancy.
  Meditation can also help you to zone in on various parts of your body.
  If you know what you can feel then it is what it is. Remember every woman and pregnancy is different. Only you know you! Enjoy ur flutters.

  It is possible to feel it as early as 8 weeks, but very rare. I did, but only once, just shy of 10 weeks. Once you know what it feels like (this is my 4th pregnancy) you know what it is and that it's not gas.

  In the last 2 days I've been feeling some fluttering. But I thought I was just gas. This is also my second child and I didn't remember feeling it this early before. But I have my first appointment today so I'm probably gonna ask about it.

  You probably feel movement, but it isn't a baby kicking. Stuff is stretching out and expanding down there, so it is probably related to the baby but isn't your baby moving.

  This is baby #2 for me and I felt some flutters over the weekend.  I've had gas and I know how different they feel.  I was super surprised but I did look online to see some women feel the second, third baby a lot sooner.  With DD it was more like 14 weeks.  I was laying on my back and finally relaxing and it was quiet and sure enough I felt 2 flutters.    I thought I read that the baby at this stage, even tho super tiny, is rolling around in there.  No one really knows but if that's what you think it was- how exciting!

  You think you can feel kicks and stuff from a baby less than one inch long with little nubby gummy bear limbs? That seems pretty unlikely to me.

  kt012885, once you've felt it before you know it when you feel it again. And "flutters" is a perfect description because once you feel it you wonder why people compare it to gas.

  Feeling the second baby sooner? Yes. At 9 weeks? Have you seen a picture of what a 9 week embryo looks like in the uterus...? I felt DD at 18 weeks and expect I will feel this one sooner, but I don't expect anything until the absolute earliest 14 weeks.

  Baby is much too small for that. Yes they are moving around at this stage, but I just don't buy that you could feel something the size of a raspberry moving. I do get abdominal spasms periodically, and have since I had my first baby. They feel exactly like flutters and even kicks at times, maybe that's what you are experiencing brought on by things changing/growing?

  
  

  This is baby #6 (losses included) for me (pregnancy 5). I absolutely know what kicks and flutters feel like but have never felt them before 14 weeks.

  It's gas for sure. I've worked OB/gyn for 6 years and there's no way to feel it this early . I have had women swear they have felt it as well and even doc says no

  I've felt flutters while not pregnant. So there's that. Ya know, that feeling that feels exactly like baby moving. Oh wait that was gas. Since I wasn't pregnant when it happened. In a couple months you can claim first movement. Well even prepare a badge for you. But not yet.

  You can feel something that's 0.04 (ish) ounces moving around? Nope. No way that something 0.04 (ish) ounces is strong enough to kick/ move where you can feel it.

  On a side note ...Typically it's gas or even muscle spasms. I had an ultrasound a few days ago at 9 weeks and I saw the fetus bouncing around in there like crazy ( it was cute) and I couldn't feel a thing.

  I'd say it's possible. People have different levels of being in tune with their bodies. I don't know why people are being so rude with their responses.

  Because it isn't possible. Baby weighs less than an ounce. Less than 1/4 ounce.

  It is exactly how it works and your comparison is ridiculous. Also, I'm fairly certain respecting the opinions of others on this board is part of the TOU. I'm attempting to be polite and respectful and prevent silly arguments. It would be the decent thing to do to accept the proffered olive branch and move on.

  People are allowed to believe they are feeling movement. But other people are allowed to tell them it's scientifically impossible.
  I don't believe I saw anyone being disrespectful, by calling names, etc.
  These boards often have discussions where people disagree. It's ok.

  If you've felt it with a previous pregnancy, then you're experienced enough to know that it is impossible to feel it right now.  (Yes, I am a second time mom.)  It's like saying you can feel every piece of food you eat move though every part of your digestive track.  Just because you want to believe you felt something, doesn't mean that you actually did.

  I can't believe that every time I attempt to politely shut down this conversation someone comes back and tells me that they know better than I do what I felt. I know what gas bubbles feel like. I have them all the time now. I know what shifting feels like, I feel that too. I also feel myself ovulate every single month. I've spoken to my OB, described the setting (quiet, late at night, laying on my side, at 2 hours shy of week 10) and she agreed that what I felt was the very first flutters of fetal movement. I have not felt jr again and don't expect to for a while. Forgive me if I choose to put my faith in my OB rather than in people on the Internet who know nothing about me, my body, or my pregnancy, and who are not qualified to make sweeping medical statements. Please, stop telling me that you know what I felt. You do not. You will NOT change my mind. Let. It. Go.

  I too feel when I ovulate, not many women can, they take tests and temps. Get over it ladies some people are more in tune with there bodies than others. In any case I won't get hung up over it. We know our own minds and bodies and that's all that matters, if others want to have a good laugh about it then so be it!

  I bet you can feel the exact moment the egg is released and from which folicle too.
  
  A lot of women can feel muscle / ligament cramping when they ovulate. That is not the same as feeling something less than .05 ounces hanging out in your ute.

  Totally unrelated to this thread, but that's a pretty offensive and rude term. I know it's common here, but if you spend a little time thinking about what it means and how little you know about the history of people on this board, it may be kinder to stop using it.
