Could it be this early?
I swear I feel flutters occasionally during the day. Could it be at 11 weeks? When did you first feel flutters?

11 weeks seems a little early but Im not saying its impossible.
I didnt feel a flutter until I was almost 22 weeks (which is later than most I know).

Re: Could it be this early?
It sounds pretty unlikely if it's your first (second-and third-time moms feel it earlier because their muscles down there are already looser and more stretched out). I first felt flutters at 18w. They say the norm is to feel them sometime between 16 and 20, closer to 20.
Where are you feeling them? Remember that at 11w, your uterus is literally still way down underneath your pelvic bone. You wouldn't be able to even feel it with your hand yet. So the uterus/baby are super low down, beneath your pelvis. If you feel anything anywhere above there, it's not baby movement.
ETA: Sorry to sound like such a Debbie Downer! It's so exciting when you realize that the flutters you feel are actually the baby - I didn't mean to take that away from you. But you'll have it in the next few months, and it'll be great!

Thanks!!! This is my 2nd pregnancy. I believe I felt DD when I was 16 weeks. I wasn't sure if it was too early..even for a 2nd pregnancy!

I'm a big girl, so I didn't really feel much until 20 weeks with my 1st.

I did feel them that early with my 2nd, and now this pregnancy #3, so it is possible!
