first signs of movement

when did you first start feeling your babies move? i felt some movement within the last couple weeks, but for about two days i havent felt too much. this is my second pregnancy so i thought i should be feeling a lot more by now. i have been a basket case the last couple weeks. i worry about EVERYTHING!

 

I first felt flutters at 14 weeks, but nothing consistant until about 20 weeks. Try not to worry! I know it's nearly impossible! :hug99:

 

Same here...movement (fluttering or a rolling sensation) at 14 weeks, but nothing really significant or obvious until some time around 20 weeks. They've been SO active today, though. It was the same with our other two boys. Try not to worry too much, it's still early hon! If it helps, maybe you could invest in a doppler just so you can hear the heartbeats?

 

ive thought about the dopplar machine, but i would probably sleep with the thing!!

 

You know, I borrowed one from a friend this time and used it once. I think it was kinda like the placebo effect...once you have it and know you can use it any time you want, you don't worry so much. Seriously, if you can feel movement here and there, you're definitely normal. Give it a few more weeks and you'll notice it a lot more.

 

ok i guess i just need to be patient! thanks!

 

I have really only felt flutters as well. I am 17 weeks and 3 days. Don't worry. Everyone is different. Kiesha

 

Yeah, I didn't feel flutters until about 17 weeks myself. I was starting to worry! Everyone is different.

 

I first felt the twins at 16 weeks. It was the little "butterflies in the stomach" feeling and was on and off for a while.

 

I started feeling flutters at 16 weeks. Now at 18 weeks I feel them all the time. Sometimes one will move more than the other one during the day.

 

I started feeling little taps here and there from about 13 or 14 weeks on. I didn't feel anything certain or consistant until about 19 weeks. At 16 weeks I probably felt them every other day maybe once or twice on the days that I felt them.

 

It also depends on where your placentas are at...... if they are out towards your belly you won't feel as much.

I started feeling very faint movements with my twins at 11 weeks believe it or not... But I don't think I've felt anything extremely noticable with any of my kids until after 16 or 17 weeks... and if you are worried about it then I think you will concentrate so much on it that you won't be able to tell for sure if you are feeling anything!

So far this pg I think I'm starting to feel just a little bit of movement on my left side...but I have a nice big patch of blood that's kind of blocking any sensation on the right side. I'm hoping to start noticing more in another few weeks. It's a hard phase b/c most of the pg symptoms are starting to go away and yet you can't really feel the baby yet... so you have days or moments where you almost forget you're pg... Thank God for other reassuring signs like sore bbs!! ha ha..

 

I think I felt mine move this morning for the first time, when I was eating breakfast!

 

Just another Twin Mommy here with another post to make you feel better. This was my first pregnancy and I didn't really feel anything until 18-19 weeks. And since I had never been pregnant before I probably felt something before that but just didn't know what it was. The first time I remember feeling one of them tap me, I was laying in bed on my side and someone went 'tap', 'tap', 'tap'! I was so excited!!! I never felt the "butterflies" or other things that other mommies say they have felt. Mine always just felt like someone was poking or tapping me from the inside. Hope that helps!

 

With my girls I first felt tapping when I was about 14-15 weeks. I didn't feel anything after the initial taps for a while (over a week) after that. This time around I felt some taps when I was 13 weeks. I was rolling from my left side to my right side in bed and I rolled onto my stomach for a second and felt some taps to the left of my belly button. I've had this feeling a couple of times since. I've never had the butterfly feeling either. It always feels like tapping to me.

One book that I read said that at 19 weeks you should start feeling definite movements. You'll feel them eventually!
