    Hi, I am only 11 weeks pregnant with identicals. I have two other young children and so have experienced feeling movement at about 18 & 16 weeks.

    This last week i have thought on three separate occasions that i may have had a distinct bump from inside. My head is telling me its too early, how early did you feel your movements ?

    I usually can tell when my stomach is doing its thing, but these struck me as different especially since they were quite low.

    any light on this ladies?

    I started feeling movement at about 16weeks, though it felt like rolling and twisting - not thumps like I get now. Also, it was very infrequent until about 19 - 20 weeks. On the other hand this is my first pregnancy and I have heard of other mothers who have had previous pregnancies who feel movement a lot earlier.
    It was quite funny though because my family and friends had a hard time believing that I could already feel them that early. That's twins for ya I guess!!! :)

    The twins were my first pregnancy adn I didn't even distinguish the flutters until 19 weeks...no constant movement until 22-24 weeks.

    I'm 12 weeks with pregnancy #2 and haven't felt anything yet. Although, all last night I dreamt all nigth I was feeling flutters and it was SO real in my dreams. I can't wait to feel this baby start to move around!

    I felt Twin B about 18 weeks for sure. Twin A is very low down and I did not feel her until 26 weeks. Now I feel her all the time. Both of them all the time. Sometimes they hurt too. Trust me soon enough you will feel them move a lot.

    I thought I felt a few flutters when I was around 14 or 15 weeks. However, I didn't feel anything for sure until they were about 24 weeks or so. I didn't feel them move very much due to were my placentas were located. I actually felt my singleton more.

    I felt my twins around 16w, but it was my second pregnancy. My first pregnancy I didn't feel my DD until around 19-20w.

    I've had two previous singleton pregnancies where I could feel movement around 18 weeks. With my twin girls, I felt movement around 16 weeks..but nothing was constant. I started feeling movement everyday around 20 weeks.

    This is my first pregnancy, and I felt flutters at 17 weeks ... then nothing. Then finally starting feeling some real movement just last week, at 22 weeks. I LOVE IT!!! Little thumpety thumps in my belly :lol:

    I told my husband that I felt movement @ 11 wks and he said I was CRAZY. It wasn't a flutter feeling it was kinda a pinch, but not a cramp or gas. Everyone's different, but I'm sure it was them and at my 13 wk u/s i felt and saw moving so that confirmed it for me.

    I felt my two move for sure at 20 weeks, 1 day. My placenta (one of them) was on the front of my uterus, so I had to feel it through that.

    I swear I felt mine really early...probably about 11 weeks. Only every once in a while...and small flutters but I really think it was them. Both my placentas are posterior too so there is nothing between me and them so to speak.

    Trust your instincts and love the feelings....I say you could be feeling your babies! Congrats!

    Honestly when I was 11 weeks pg with my twins I really thought I felt movement. But I thought 1. it's too early...and 2. the baby couldn't be that large...b/c the movements were about 4 inches apart on my belly...one higher than the other. At the time I didn't know I was pg with twins. The next day I went in for my u/s...well it turns out I was having twins, and the tech showed me exactly where the babies were on my belly, and it was exactly where I had felt those little movements. So IMHO it is possible to feel movement even that early...it wasn't consistant for me... I felt them much more consistantly after 15 weeks.
