2nd time moms, when did u feel the baby move?

I am almost 16 weeks. I *think* I felt a few flutters. I am still bleeding almost every day so I am just so nervous that something is wrong. I have my 16 week appt on Thurs and am just that everything is okay. I just want to feel the baby move so I know s/he is still alive. I am hoping it is still too early????

I hate being such a worry wart.

Way too early still. I felt Tyler at like 13 weeks - it was more like gas though. Then I didn't feel him again till 20+ weeks.

Re: 2nd time moms, when did u feel the baby move?

I have felt little things here and there since about 14 weeks. Definately some flutters here and there. But I am in my 19th week now and still waiting to feel something substantial --- like strong kicks! And I can't remember when it happened with my last pregnancy, that was 6 years ago! I know I was definately feeling it by about 25 weeks with Emily, but I didn't write it down exactly.

I have to tell you taht I spend more time worrying with this pregnancy then I did with my last pregnancy! With Emily there was barely a worry in the world, and this time I worry so much that everything isn't OK. I don't "feel" as pregnant as I felt with Emily---don't have the constant morning sickness, and even though I'm tired...well, I'm just waiting patiently to feel some good kicks so that I know baby is alive and doing well!

I am reassured when I have my OB appts and we hear the heartbeat...I am sure all is fine, but....well, I just wanted to tell you that you aren't alone with the worry! I so know where you are coming from!

I am only 11w1d, so I can't comment on the movement, but I have to agree with the part about worrying all the time I was not this way with #1. I ask DH 10x/day "Do you think peanut is OK?" Of course he always says yes and that is some silly reassurance for me. My ultrascreen is next week, so maybe that will calm me down. I hope I can start relaxing in the coming weeks.

not until 20 weeks .. Dont be nervous everything will be fine

Re: 2nd time moms, when did u feel the baby move?

baby #1 @ 13 weeks
baby #2 @ 12 weeks
baby #3 @ 17 weeks!

It can vary widely!! The first two I felt all the time and I was very sure of the movement. This one is super lazy and hardly ever moves. But when she does, she kicks much harder LOL

Re: 2nd time moms, when did u feel the baby move?

my flutters started at 17w with this one

Re: 2nd time moms, when did u feel the baby move?

I started feeling 'bubbles' around 15 weeks, just randomly.

I am now 18.5 weeks and feel little thumps now and then.

Re: 2nd time moms, when did u feel the baby move?

I'm a little over 14 weeks and have felt little flutters here and there over the past few days, but nothing substantial. With my first pregnancy, I didn't feel anything until about 20-21 weeks.

Re: 2nd time moms, when did u feel the baby move?

I started feeling flutters around 14/15 weeks this time. It's absolutely possible with a second pregnancy (especially since you had twins first- you're muscles would be extra stretched out!). By 18 weeks I could SEE my belly moving- I was shocked!

Re: 2nd time moms, when did u feel the baby move?

#1 21 weeks
#2 13 weeks
#3 16 weeks
#4 12 weeks

Re: 2nd time moms, when did u feel the baby move?

With DS 1 I was definitely somewhere around 20-24 weeks (I was vaccuming!)

With this baby I am definitely feeling flutters and movement. I probably started feeling "something" at about 12 weeks. I actually thought I was going nuts. But the doc said it's totally possible. This baby is also doing flips and working out while any sono is going on!

Re: 2nd time moms, when did u feel the baby move?

Around 14w with this one.

With DS I had an anterior placenta and didn't feel him till much later.
