I know this gets asked a lot, but my question is just a teeny bit different. Instead of what was the earliest you felt movement, what was the earliest you felt something that sorta might have been movement? i.e. What's the earliest I could possibly hope for even thinking I feel this LO? Hoping that since I've felt it before I'll be able to recognize it sooner. :)Last time I felt *something* around 14, and it got more definite by 16, but I had an anterior placenta (or whichever one makes it harder to feel movement, I forget), so hoping for a little sooner if that's possible.

I swore I felt something with DS#2 at 12 weeks but my OB said I would have to have super power to feel that, lol. So IDK.
-
@Torchwood: I'm surprised you were able to feel that early with an anterior placenta, with LO1 I had it and didn't feel until 21 weeks. With this one (normal placenta) I felt around 17 weeks.
-
@LuLu Mom: I was really surprised too. My doctor just said that an anterior only means that you might take longer to feel it, but it still varies. But she was surprised too. I think she thought it was just wishful thinking, and the 14 weeks really was, but it was definite later.
-
I first felt it at 9 weeks but wrote it off.... But when it got stronger and stronger over the next 8 weeks there was no mistaking it!
-
Following .... I want to feel this baby!
-
With #2 I 95% sure I started feeling slight occasional movement around 13 weeks!
-
I had an anterior placenta and didn't feel anything until after 20 weeks
-
I had been feeling things from about 14 weeks onwards but I am still not totally sure what was digestion and what was little baby movements. It wasn't until about 20 weeks that I knew for sure. It felt like FOREVER for me to feel anything.
-
I had an anterior placenta, but I SWEAR I felt movement at 15 weeks! Not a lot, but I swear I did. lol.
-
I really don't remember but it was definitely very late! As a first time mom I wasn't sure what to look for so if I did feel anything I might have missed it in the beginning! Plus I had an anterior placenta so I think I wasn't supposed to feel movement early.
-
baby 1, 16+ weeks
baby 2, 12.5 weeks (yes, seriously) and consistently since! -
So with my son it took forever. I was well into my 24 25 week I think if not longer. I joked I would birth him before I felt him move. With that said I was a first time mom and I just wasnt sure what I was looking for partially I think and my son also was a very calm baby in womb and didnt move that much in general
With my daughter I felt her at 13 weeks I can clearly remember the moment too because it caught me off guard since it was so early. She was also super wiggly inside so Im not sure if that and being a 2nd time mom helped
-
I had an anterior placenta and felt movement at about 19 weeks, before my anatomy scan. I was watching the baby move on the screen and feeling her kicking me down low (private bits!)
-
I want to say with this last pregnancy, I felt gassy movement feeling around 10-11 weeks.
-
I think some flutters started around 10 weeks, but I can't quite remember. I definitely felt kicks at 15 weeks after I ate a big chunk of chocolate. DS liked it and was kicking me for three hours straight
-
Not even a flutter until 18 weeks, but I wasn't even sure it was her then. Didn't feel definite baby movement until 21 weeks!
-
DDs kicks I thought were gas bubbles until I had an ultrasound and the tech told me they were kicks. Found out about 16 weeks that the "gas" was kicks. I'd been feeling them for a while though.
DS I felt at 12 weeks. Confirmed that they were indeed kicks by ultrasound. -
I had been feeling him for a while, but didnt really believe it until the middle of my 20 wk u/s when the tech was like "are you sure you don't feel that? He's kicking like crazy!". I really believed it was gas up to that point!
-
@littleblessings: I should have read other replies, considering I put almost exactly the same thing as you, right after you!! : )
-
@junebugsmama: haha. I don't think OP will mind. :). Gotta love the "gas"
-
10 weeks with M. I had just gone through S's pregnancy though so I think I was more in tune with my uterus.
-
17 weeks with LO1
13 weeks with LO2 -
With my second I thought I felt something at 11 weeks. Then nothing until 13 but it was still uncertain. Definite around 14/15 weeks and lots of movement by 17w.
With my first had an anterior placenta and didn't feel anything until 20w and then not consistently until 24 or so.
-
I felt flutters at 9 weeks but definite flutters again at 11 weeks and they continued on and off from then.
-
I never really felt the flutters, but I started feeling little bumps (like when a vein goes crazy in a random part of your body) starting around 17-18 weeks, I think.
-
I felt what I thought *might* be movement at about 14 weeks, but I didn't say anything to DH as I thought it can't be - but by 2 weeks later I was definitely feeling it and pretty sure that my earlier flutters were in fact the baby. That was my first pregnancy.
-
I have an anterior placenta, and felt baby move around 14-15 weeks.
-
I am 13+4 right now, but I haven't felt any movements yet....I'm still waiting!
-
i felt something at 14 weeks but convinced myself it couldn't be anything because it was so early... but looking back i think it was totally baby! this is my first pregnancy.
-
I *think* around 15 or so weeks. But it may be gas! It took longer to feel #1 - closer to 20 weeks because I had an anterior placenta so this pregnancy might be different.
-
i had that anterior placenta thing or whatever it's called, and didn't feel anything until after the 20-week anatomy scan.
-
I've felt flutters at 11 weeks on my left side (which is where baby was hanging out at during our 12 week sonogram). I haven't had a gas problem this entire pregnancy, so I don't think it was gas. I haven't felt them at all this week.
