Could this be the baby I'm feeling?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
With my son, I felt a tiny little "flutters" when I was 18 weeks along. With this baby, I'm 15 weeks, 1 day and for the last week and a half, I've been feeling a "rolling" sensation, always a little to the left and under my bellybutton. It only happens once every two or three days. I never felt that while not pregnant, and the only way I can describe it is how I felt my son moving, much further along (like 22+ weeks, and he was a very active baby). Isn't it too soon to really feel the baby like this? Is this wishful thinking on my part, that I can feel the baby, or do you think perhaps that's really the baby I'm feeling?

A lot of women feel movement earlier in subsequent pregnancies, so it totally could be the baby.

I was going to write this exact thing!

Sounds like you get a few extra weeks of feeling your baby wriggle about!

Totally could be! Its certainly not too early!! I felt my first at 14 weeks, second around 10 or 11 and this one at 9! By 15 weeks this time I was feeling strong thumps, despite having an anterior placenta. (But, I'm super sensitive down there... the trade off is my menstrual cramps and after pains are debilitating.)

I thought so! Friends were trying to tell me "it's just gas", but it's certainly NOT gas, it feels like a baby to me. Doesn't happen very often, but when it does, it feels like somebody's doing a somersault or a cartwheel, it's very noticable.
