I swear I started feeling it at around 10 weeks, and now I REALLY feel it (I am due somewhere in the middle of Oct.) I felt fluttering at 14-15 weeks with my DS, so I am thinking I have a very sensitive uterus
. But it could be gas...I really don't think so though. Just curious if anyone else has felt it this early. I am slender, and I have been told that helps.

I felt this one for the first time at 12 weeks, with DS #1 it was 16 weeks and DS #2 at 14 so I think the more pgs you have the earlier you might feel the baby. Also, being smaller does help some. I'm 5'2" and around 125 so there isn't a lot of hiding space for this baby.


Congrats on feeling the movement!!!

I felt it the other day and I guess I had a look on my face b/c DH said "what's wrong" and I just laughed. He asked if the little craw-dad (that's about the size of the baby now) was jumpin' around! I think it was, but I've mostly just felt the swishing type of movements, like what your tummy feels like when you go down the apex of a roller coaster.

Congrats everyone!!!

I felt a thump at exactly 14 weeks, but I was feeling twirlies before that. I am nowhere near slender, but I think my uterus kind cups forward, I felt my DD at 15.5 wks and my know-it all SIL said there was no way. Now this time I KNOW it was her, which I did then. This time I feeling things just much earlier because I know what it is..

I don't think I've felt anything yet. There have been a couple of times when I thought, "was that Bean?" but it didn't happen again so I'm chalking it up to digestion. I'm a first-timer and "fluffy" so I don't expect to feel any movement for a little while longer.

You know -- I could swear I've been feeling movement for a while already. But, it didn't start out as flutters this time ... it went straight to soft pokes. This makes me wonder whether it is in my head?

I'd've sworn I felt a thump-thump this morning when I woke up about 4am, but I'm only 13 weeks and I wouldn't think I could feel a thump this early... when DD I only felt butterfly-flutters at first and didn't get anything "thump"ish until 20 weeks. Isn't a 13-week-pregnant baby only like 2" long??

It makes my DH so jealous that I can feel lil Peanut on the inside and he can't feel it yet. He even asked the OB today when he could start feeling it and was disappointed when she said 24-28 weeks since I'm fluffy.

To me it feels like little swishing. It's strange.

I'm so glad there are many of you feeling it too! I thought I was just crazy, but I know the difference between gas, as I have never had gas in this location before
it's the coolest feeling ever. Yay for beans! (the baby kind lol)

I'm feeling movement now!
: It's soooo exciting to finally get to this stage! Is it weird that it seems to only be on the one side? Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I only ever seem to notice it on my left...

I felt mine for the first time last night! It was so weird. DH had his hand on my belly and was talking to the baby. Then he said "good night" and moved his hand away and I definitely felt a very distinct "flip/flutter." It was so unusual that I gasped out loud. (It was "big" enough that I instinctively looked down at my belly to see if the movement was visible.) So DH put his hand back and started talking to the baby again to see if it would move some more, and we waited and waited, and then DH said, "aw, I guess not. Good night again, then." and Bean flipped again! WHOA. DH couldn't feel it from the outside, of course, but it was pretty cool!

In three months I'm going to be begging this kid to hold still and stop using my ribcage as a punching bag. But for now... WOW!
