I'm a STM and I felt movement pretty early. I did find out through an U/S I have a posterior placenta, so that does push baby a bit more forward. I had the same thing with my first. They say with that you can feel baby a little sooner, and you show a bit faster. (don't know if that's medical fact or an old wives tale).
The opposite, if you have an anterior placenta you will not feel baby till later when the baby is bigger and stronger because the placenta will have attached to the front of your uterus.
I wonder if any of this applies to someone with a tilted uterus. Apparently I have one. I didn't feel DS until about 20 weeks. And not feeling anything yet at 14 weeks. Could it be that since my uterus is tilted that he is just kicking my insides and I'm not able to feel it?
I've felt weird things that I've assumed are just gas. But today I felt a swift poke that was unrelated to gas as far as I know! Nothing else was rumbling around down there and it was so distinct it startled me. Felt like some of you have described--like a tap from a pencil eraser. Still not sure but optimistic. Haha.
