Feeling baby move?

[Called2Grace]

When did you feel your baby move?

I'm feeling a familiar fluttering movement, but I am only 12 weeks and the feeling is about the same hight as my belly button, and I'm not sure that the uterus is even up that high yet??

Anyway I know that the feeling movement is earlier with each pregnancy, but I'm thinking it is more likely to be my tummy stretching and getting bigger!

I first felt my baby at about 14 weeks... it was quite low down and was while i was still lying on my tummy.
At about 18 weeks he was full on kicking me!!!

hmmm At twelve weeks your uterus is not at your belly button yet (it gets there at about 19 weeks). But I think it's possible to feel movement that early. When did you feel movement with your first??

I also felt my first movements with this one at 14 weeks.

I felt movement before 12 weeks. I was actually feeling baby move around by 8-10 weeks.

Then again, I can tell difference in uterine pain, intestinal and stomach related pains, since I have struggled so much with it more than half my life. I knew something was 'up' by the time we took the test, and not long after we'd had our first checkup (around 8-9 weeks) I was feeling flutters.

I feel him moving several times a day, usually before or after meal time, and if I am sitting for a long period of time or active and then non-active..

I felt the first flutters at 18 weeks, but didn't feel it often at all until last week, at 22 weeks. Now, I feel him everyday, but not all day long. Maybe 3-5 times a day, he'll kick me enough to feel it. I think I'm not feeling more movement because my placenta is anterior (in the front) and it blocks a lot of his kicks.

I felt mine befor 12 weeks this time. It is possible to feel the baby if you have are toned, or if you have had multiple pregnanies because your uturues is thinner. At the time I am never quite sure but as the baby grows I was like oh yeah that was what I was feeling.

I think I'm starting to feel something in there. It doesn't quite feel like flutters; it's more like a roll or swishing feeling. It's only a little bit, but something is moving in there, and I sure hope it's Peanut.

I felt both at 15 weeks.

Yeah, it is actually lower than my belly button, I have a great knowledge of my anatomy don't I!
