I remember last time my husband getting so much more connected once my belly was big and he could feel her move--this time I feel like I"ve been the same way! Life is crazy. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2588352 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 11:01:03 +0000 snowjewelz 2588352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Exactly! I hope I will start to feel movement by 20 weeks like you! I'm so anxious to go to my appt next week just to know everything's ok! Sometimes I feel horrible and wonder if she's ok in there b/c I feel like I haven't been taking care of myself as well this time around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2588347 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 10:57:08 +0000 mfa_lady 2588347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I thought the same! My job AND my life (another toddler mom over here) are so much crazier than they were when I was pregnant with DD1. Ha!</p> <p>@catlady: I was the exact same way. Until this past week, I'd often be like "Wait. Was that it?! Hello? Are you in there?" Haha. </p> <p>@mamabolt: Yep, that was me exactly (this time around). And finally getting stronger now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2588313 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 10:34:37 +0000 mamabolt 2588313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me! Anterior placenta with both and didn't feel much until nearly 20 weeks both times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2588293 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 10:02:19 +0000 catlady 2588293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Lol, thanks for another update. Turns out I have anterior placenta this time too. 20 weeks tomorrow and I feel him at least once every day but it is usually very subtle. Looking forward to movement picking up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2588263 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 09:34:47 +0000 snowjewelz 2588263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I forget to ask if I have an anterior placenta this time too or not, but I am 15+5 and I don't think I've really felt DD2. Sometimes I don't know if I'm just too busy to notice also... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2588167 Tue, 19 Jul 2016 04:28:32 +0000 mfa_lady 2588167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, coming back to update AGAIN--I'm 25+3 today and for about the past week, have been feeling her like crazy. I can see her, too, pretty steadily from the outside. Still, though, all this happened way later than with DD1, so it's good to finally be feeling what I'm used to. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2568917 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 12:17:06 +0000 Alivoo01 2568917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt movement about the same time as my first. 18 weeks, but nothing steady and confirming until like 20 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2568892 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 11:47:48 +0000 mfa_lady 2568892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: @KayKay: US tech confirmed anterior placenta an hour ago at my ultrasound! I had a low-lying placenta with DD, but it resolved quickly. Anyway, I'm sure the placenta placement this time played a role. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2568675 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 08:35:23 +0000 KayKay 2568675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt my first and second around the same time -- 17ish weeks and by 18w, I was certain that's what it was (seriously, the early movements are so tiny and infrequent that I could never be sure it wasn't just gas until....you know!). Currently pregnant with 3rd (15.5w) and seem to be on the same track (i.e., nothing certain yet; little bubbles seem to be too high to actually be the baby). All times I've had a tilted uterus, but none have been an anterior placenta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2568648 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 08:21:50 +0000 catlady 2568648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Thank you for your update! I could literally have written your first post (15+1 today, tilted uterus, and I actually thought I felt some tiny flutters a few weeks ago but nothing now so I think that was just gas!). Good to know it is still normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2568607 Thu, 16 Jun 2016 07:16:58 +0000 mfa_lady 2568607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coming here to update--after feeling daily movement from 18w on with my first, I didn't feel anything regular with this one until right at 20 weeks. I'm 20+5 today, and while I felt a twinge here and there from 18 - 20 weeks, nothing steady until this week. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2545688 Tue, 10 May 2016 17:47:21 +0000 winniebee 2545688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS1 it was 20 weeks with anterior placenta </p> <p>DS2 was 15 weeks and every day by 17 weeks </p> <p>DS2 I felt some definite movement during a recent ultrasound at 14 weeks when the tech pressed on my uterus, but a week later nothing else except a few times that I thought *might* be movement.</p> <p>I also have a tilted uterus but had no idea it affected movement! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2545674 Tue, 10 May 2016 17:15:27 +0000 mfa_lady 2545674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tinyperson: @2littlepumpkins: @PinkElephant: @Torchwood: @Worrywart: Thanks, guys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2545404 Tue, 10 May 2016 14:08:54 +0000 Worrywart 2545404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have a tilted uterus. Felt movement around 18-19 weeks with both #1 and #2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2545327 Tue, 10 May 2016 13:33:45 +0000 Torchwood 2545327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was about the same for me with both. On the early side I think, but not weirdly so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2545189 Tue, 10 May 2016 11:15:33 +0000 PinkElephant 2545189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I felt consistent movement sooner with #2 than I am with #3 (currently 14 weeks and have MAYBE felt a bubble or two)....but I wonder if some of that is just because chasing two kids, I'm never really sitting down and relaxing! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2545056 Tue, 10 May 2016 08:41:43 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2545056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: me. I couldn't tell between baby and my screwy GI system... But even then it wasn't until roughly the same time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2545041 Tue, 10 May 2016 08:19:23 +0000 tinyperson 2545041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't - I felt DD1 around 20ish weeks and DD2 (reliably) around the same time, maybe even 21ish weeks. I maybe felt her earlier, but it could have been something else, so I didn't count that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2545013 Tue, 10 May 2016 07:49:33 +0000 mfa_lady 2545013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: @hellobeeboston: @YouGotMe: @FaithFertility: @ValentineMommy: You guys are the best. Thank you!</p> <p>@Happygal: Oh, super helpful. I love when they give you milestones like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2544952 Tue, 10 May 2016 06:11:23 +0000 Happygal 2544952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted to add that I thought I felt it earlier, but I wasn't certain until 19 weeks. When I told my OB this, he said it wasn't until 24 weeks that he would start to be concerned if I didn't feel movement. I like having dates in mind like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2544950 Tue, 10 May 2016 06:03:18 +0000 ValentineMommy 2544950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me! I had anterior placenta the second time and didn't feel him until much later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2544943 Tue, 10 May 2016 05:33:37 +0000 FaithFertility 2544943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: You could have an AP this time, where placenta is in front and baby is behind it, I had it with DD and felt such soft kicks<br /> I don't with this babe and I think that contributes to my early kicks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2544942 Tue, 10 May 2016 05:30:11 +0000 YouGotMe 2544942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 16 weeks, no movement over here for baby number 2. I have an anterior placenta for both babies so I'm not expecting much anytime soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2544937 Tue, 10 May 2016 05:02:04 +0000 hellobeeboston 2544937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt baby #2 the same time as #1 ---- around 16 weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2544920 Mon, 09 May 2016 23:39:56 +0000 pregnantbee 2544920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: Nope! I didn't feel DS until around 22w and thought I'd feel DD earlier. Nope. Anterior placenta, and I didn't feel her either until 22-23. Boo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2544886 Mon, 09 May 2016 21:11:31 +0000 mfa_lady 2544886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Haha! My actual, true bump is no bigger but I did get bloated WAY early. Glamorous stuff over here. :P</p> <p>@MrsSRS: @Finfan: Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2544879 Mon, 09 May 2016 21:07:40 +0000 Finfan 2544879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: me too! Anterior with the first but not the second. Still felt kicks around the same time. Kicks were always harder to feel the second time around actually. I really had to concentrate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2544878 Mon, 09 May 2016 21:07:26 +0000 MrsSRS 2544878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an anterior placenta both times and it was somewhere in the 18-20 week range with both. I was a little bummed when I could tell the second (and last) baby had an anterior placenta. I was hoping to experience the crazy skin movement. But no, just a repeat of insane rib and pubic bone kicking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-feel-movement-earlier-with-2#post-2544875 Mon, 09 May 2016 21:06:41 +0000 regberadaisy 2544875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: I also did not show earlier or had a bigger bump the second time! Debunking everything, ya'll. ;) </p>
