Just wondering. I'm 15+2 today and I felt movement regularly starting at 18 weeks with my first. I MIGHT have had a couple little twinges so far, but nothing I can be sure about.
I have a tilted uterus, so that might have something to do with why I don't feel anything yet. I know 15 weeks is so early, but tons of October mamas are already feeling tons of movement and it's hard not to worry!

Me! I was basically on the same time line as before. I may have felt this one kick earlier from the outside, but I'd have to consult my notes!

@Happygal: Thank you, friend! Also, good for you on the notes! I have been the worst on that with BOTH. I have to always check HelloBee. Haha.

I felt movement earlier, but not oddly early. 19-20ish weeks with first, vs 18ish weeks with second

@runnerd: @regberadaisy: Thanks, guys! Making me feel better already.

@mfa_lady: I also did not show earlier or had a bigger bump the second time! Debunking everything, ya'll.

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.

@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.

@regberadaisy: Haha! My actual, true bump is no bigger but I did get bloated WAY early. Glamorous stuff over here. 
@MrsSRS: @Finfan: Thanks!

@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.

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.

@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
I don't with this babe and I think that contributes to my early kicks

Me! I had anterior placenta the second time and didn't feel him until much later.

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!

@pregnantbee: @hellobeeboston: @YouGotMe: @FaithFertility: @ValentineMommy: You guys are the best. Thank you!
@Happygal: Oh, super helpful. I love when they give you milestones like that!

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.

@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.

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!

It was about the same for me with both. On the early side I think, but not weirdly so.

I also have a tilted uterus. Felt movement around 18-19 weeks with both #1 and #2!

With DS1 it was 20 weeks with anterior placenta
DS2 was 15 weeks and every day by 17 weeks
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.
I also have a tilted uterus but had no idea it affected movement!

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.

@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.
pear / 1961 posts
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.

@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.

I felt movement about the same time as my first. 18 weeks, but nothing steady and confirming until like 20 weeks.

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.

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...
grapefruit / 4988 posts
@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!
nectarine / 2797 posts
Me! Anterior placenta with both and didn't feel much until nearly 20 weeks both times.
pomegranate / 3921 posts
@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!
@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.
@mamabolt: Yep, that was me exactly (this time around). And finally getting stronger now!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@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!
pomegranate / 3921 posts
@snowjewelz: Same here! 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.
