How early did you feel movement?

[SupermansLady]

Wow! I seem to be posting everywhere today. Too much time on my hands during my lunch break? Quite possibly.
Anyway - question at hand - how early have any of you ladies felt your baby moving? With my first I realized it around 16-17 weeks but think I may have felt flutters before that. This morning I have been feeling flutters right below my belly button off an on. It really feels a lot like they did with my first, but then again, isn't it a bit early at only 12 weeks to feel anything? I don't think it's muscle spasms as I have had those some too over the last few weeks. Just wondering how early any of you felt movement.

Thanks

My first I felt movement at 14 weeks....with my second...11 weeks I started feeling the flutters! They say with each one it's sooner usually! The coolest and most reassuring feeling ever...until they get big in the ninth month and pray they come out and stop beating you to death from the inside! :lol: :shock:

I felt Dainyah moving around at a little before 12 weeks. My midwife (not to knock all mws but, mine was a moron...) didn't believe me. I lost a baby before Dainyah at 9 weeks, and I thought I had felt him move too. My husband believes me, no one else really did.

I'd say you are feeling the little peanut. And like what Breezy said, enjoy it now, in a few months you are going to be hurting from it. And, if your's is anything like mine, they will be enjoying playing kick ball with your bladder so you'll be constantly running to the bathroom, praying you can hold it in until you get there :D

Felt mine at 19 weeks, 2 days. :) I was laying on the bed reading a book and BANG!! I got whallopped. I figured that there was not much else it could be other than the baby.

Being overweight, I felt mine later than normal. At 18w I thought I was feeling things. By 22, I was absolutely positive. I love feeling him move. I could just sit for hours and feel him. It's so wonderful.

I felt Abigail at 15 weeks. Thought it was my imagination, but then when I explained it to my midwife she said it was baby. From then on I felt it regularly.

I can't say the exact week I was on but I do remember I felt my dd for the first time the night of my birthday, around 4 am. I woke my dh up to feel it. It was pretty cool. I think maybe it was around 16 weeks or so.

With my first it was at around 15+ weeks, my second around 14 weeks and then my most active child (out of the womb) I felt at around 10 or 11 weeks; we even got to see her on ultrasound and she was somersaulting all around in there, even the tech was saying, "Whoa!! That's an active baby!!!" :) She is DEFINITELY our little active kiddo and has a TON of muscle, it's no wonder I felt her so early. The twins, I felt around 13 weeks. :) Feeling the twins move was an amazing experience, ya never knew who was kicking what! HA! :)

I felt her move but was in denial (as I have been about many things with her because I haven't wanted to sound stupid)...but it was most obvious the day that we had our second ultrasound. It was January 17th! Bill felt her move for the first time on January 27th...so...yeah, I was in denial for a little while! I guess SEEING her move made me believe that it wasn't just gas! :P
