Can you feel your baby move sooner?

    I'm ALMOST convinced I can feel the baby move every once in a while. Usually just once a day, and I have to be sitting leaning kinda forward, or laying down with my legs drawn up. It's very mild... and is low and center. Maybe it's gas, but I tend to think maybe not. Just wondering if anyone felt their baby this early? I'm 13 weeks.

    I felt some early flutters at 14 weeks with my singleton. It helped that I didn't have a giant double wide anterior placenta cushioning all the movement ;). But I also think it's common to notice movement sooner with subsequent pregnancies because you're more aware of what you're feeling for.

    I felt this little girl sooner but I first felt the boys at 18 weeks so I think I didn't really know what to feel for the first time around. :)

    I felt my third around 12-13 weeks, just a little flutter here and there. More of a tickle from the inside.

    Just depended where my placenta was. If it was in front I didn't usually feel the baby until closer to 20 weeks. If it was in posterior then yes, I felt the baby pretty early around 14 weeks.

    I felt my last one really early. It was around the 12-13wk area. There was no mistaking the feeling. Like a pp said, you know what you are looking for this time around. Just don't get all panicky if you suddenly start not feeling it again. At this stage it has a lot to do with were the baby hanging out.

    They say the more babies you have the earlier you feel them. I felt my twins and Lenny at about 12 weeks. So yeah I'd say you are feeling your baby move!
