    So last night, watching a movie with my husband in bed, and all of a sudden I had this ripple go across my stomach, I guess ripple is the only way to describe it. That wouldn't be the babies moving would it? It didn't feel like the butterfly flutters, it felt like an actual ripple. It hasn't happened again since, but I was just curious. Isn't it a little early to be feeling babies? Not even really showing. Just wondering.

    I felt movement at 8 weeks so it's entirely possible. My husband calls that the "ripple effect" lol and that happened to me often before they started getting big.

    Possibly. I did not start feeling movements until about 18 weeks. To me, it feels like thumping against my stomach. Trying to kick their way out. Every week the movement gets stronger and stronger.

    It's very possible that you felt the babies move. I was feeling these two right around 12 weeks but nothing consistant until I was 22 weeks or so.

    That's what you most likely felt, that was the only way I could describe it to my bf. That is the best feeling, I miss that so much. It gets even more intense as they get bigger and stronger. It's even cooler when you can actually see them pertruding from your stomache, like an alien is in there.

    I would say that was the babies. I started feeling them at 11 weeks. By 14 weeks I was feeling them constantly.
