I've felt a few flutters here and there since about 12-13 weeks. I'm now 14 weeks. It doesn't happen often, but I get occasional movement I can feel. Most people don't believe I should be able to feel it this early...
I'm a STM and 16 weeks tomorrow. I've felt movement a few times over the past week. Not everyday, just here and there. Some flutters/rolling sensations, and a few jabs/kicks.
Regular, unmistakable baby movement started this weekend! Basically any time I stop and pay attention, I can feel baby both internally and externally (simultaneously). Especially first thing in the morning and late in the evening.
I'm a STM and felt movement at 14w2d this time (with my son it was somewhere around 18). The first time it felt like bubbles bursting, then a couple days later I felt nudges/jabs. I've felt them everyday since-usually 3 times a day when I've been sitting still for a while.
Contrary to what the books tell me, it has taken longer for me to feel each baby, lol. 1st pregnancy - 13 weeks. 2nd pregnancy - 15 weeks. This time, I'm almost 17 and I'm think I'm feeling movement, but it's not super noticeable yet, or regular.

I'll be 16 weeks tomorrow with #2. I still can't distinguish if I'm feeling movement or gas. I'm leaning towards it being gas. I didn't feel DD until 18 weeks, and I had an anterior placenta with her. I'm starting to suspect that may be the case again.
I felt the first movement at 14 weeks when I was driving. I must have been in a perfect position to feel it, because I didn't feel it again for about a week. Now I feel it almost daily, depending on how I'm sitting or laying. I usually never feel it when I'm standing.
I've been feeling little twitches for the past week or so (or longer, but I'm not convinced that wasn't gas), I'm now 15w4d and I'm a STM. The first time around I didn't feel DD until around 20 weeks so I'm surprised it happened so early this time.
This is almost exactly what I was going to post. I'm a STM also and I didn't feel movement until around 20 weeks last time because I had an anterior placenta, so I had no idea you could feel movement this early, I'm 15w2d now. I thought I was feeling a little movement (like bubbles popping), but assumed it was probably gas bubbles until I had my appointment last week and the doctor asked if I was feeling movement. From the Doppler and u/s that I have had, baby seems very active, so that's probably why I'm already feeling a little movement. It's so exciting! I can't wait to be able to feel kicks from the outside.
It has started earlier for me with each pregnancy. I felt it with DD around 14w, then abou 13w with DS. This one? Around 12w. Never consistent and not every day. But every so often, especially if I'm lying down, little itty bitty popcorn pops way down low. So cool!
I've been feeling this little stinker wiggling around every night for the last three nights in a row. It's always after dinner, when I finally get in my PJs and put my feet up, just relaxing, and BAM I feel the flutters. I love it! I'm at 16w3d, and I'm a FTM.
I've been feeling taps that I am convinced are baby for about a week, despite finding out that I have an anterior placenta. The taps do generally tend to be on my right side, so I suppose it is possible that th placenta is more to the left... It's not every day and it's usually only if I am sitting and being still. But I feel fairly certain it is baby.
Just catching up on this thread. I also have an anterior placenta. I really hope I feel movement in the next few weeks. I'm 17w3d today.
ETA: With my first, I think it was closer to 20 weeks before I realized that all those little sensations were actually the baby. With my second, I think I was feeling movement around 16 weeks. This anterior placenta is new to me.
