Feeling Babies Move

I keep trying to decide if I am feeling the babies move or not. I know that they say you do feel them earlier with the more pregnancies you've had. This is #5 for me. 3 full term, 1 miscarriage and now the twins. When did you feel your twins move for the first time? I hope I can tell the difference between fetal movements and gas! LOL :lol:

 

Not really until 18-20 weeks, this is my 2nd pregnancy.

 

I have felt mine move...little thuds or sometime I feel them roll if I'm not in a position they like! I love it and can't wait till I feel them all the time and so can DH, DD and DS, I think it will make it more real for DS

At 13-15 weeks I felt what I thought could be the babies, but not sure. Then, around 17 weeks started feeling one a LOT. Then, I hardly felt anything at all and got paranoid, but I had nothing to worry about - they are both fine and active! I think a lot has to do with the placement and everything.

 

I felt the twins around 16w, it was my second pregnancy.

 

Around 19 weeks. I have anterior placentas so I didn't ever feel the little flutters and rolling feelings people talk about. Mine started with full-blown kicks and jabs that I can feel and see from the outside as well as the inside.

ETA: This is my first pregnancy.

 

I’m in the same boat, I THINK I feel rolls when I lay on my side… but it’s been so long since my first pregnancy I’m not 100%. But my son asks ever other day, can I feel them move yet (putting his hand on my belly)… I just keep telling him, probably not for another month…

 

I would feel little taps every couple days from about 14. I didn't really start feeling them consistantly every day until about 19 weeks.

 

The twins were my first pregnancy that got that far -- I didn't know for sure that I was feeling them move until almost 20 weeks. In retrospect, some of the things that I thought were gas were probably movement. But I had soooo much gas, I just assumed everything was gas.

 

I'm at sixteen weeks now, and I think I've just started feeling some thumps from the top twin. I've never been pregnant before, so I don't know for sure, but it definitely feels different from all those gas bubbles!

 

This was my 5th pregnancy and with my singletons I felt the "butterflies" at around 14 weeks. With the two girls I didn't feel movement until about week 19.

 

I am so jealous of some of the other further along moms that has been my all time favorite thing every pregnancy is to feel them move, I am ready to feel it every day!!

i think i feel them now? im just not sure :lol:

 

I felt the twins at 16 weeks. They were my first pregnancy. With Dax, it was more like 11 weeks.

 

I felt fluttering when I was still (usually when going to sleep) between 12 and 13 weeks. Just in the last few days, we've started to feel vibrating through the skin -- it was so cool seeing Dh feel the babies for the first time a couple days ago! I did not expect the initial movement to be so subtle.

 

Twins were my third pregnancy. I starting feeling flutters at 13 wks.

 

The twins were my first pregnancy...I didn't feel anything (that I could tell at least) with them until 19 weeks.

This pregnancy is my second (singleton this time) and I felt the flutters at 14 weeks and kicks around 18...now I feel her EVERY DAY!

 

With my first I felt him at about 20 weeks (for sure). With this pregnancy, I thought I felt movement at about 14/15 weeks, but I was completey sure at 16 weeks. Now, they are still moving ALL around (I guess there is still enough room for it)...It is amazing!

 

Thanks for all the posts. I don't feel them all the time, but with the flutters being so extremely low, I really think it could be them. I only feel it once every couple days and it's only when I am laying down and only in one particular area every time. Who knows... maybe I am just so excited I can't wait! I am looking forward to feeling them for sure in the next couple of weeks.

 

This is my first pregnancy. I felt my boys faintly around 16 wks.... the first time i REALLY felt them kick was around 19-20 wks. Everything before that was questionable. I wouldn't think you could really feel a kick at 14 wks...b/c the babies are actually only weight about 2 ounces and about 3 inches long.

 

I felt mine @ 11w, but didn't actually feel them with my hand until I was about 20+ weeks.

 

I felt my twins move at 15 weeks......but my sister, pg with her 3rd pregnancy is positive she felt her baby move around 11-12 weeks!

 

I felt mine move around 22 weeks.

 

I didn't feel flutters til around 17-18 weeks, then I started feeling them all the time around 20. Now they're more like big kicks and rolls that jolt me
