2nd, 3rd time + mums, when did you feel movement?

[Hellymay83]

Just wondering when everyone started to feel movement with their 2nd or more pregnancies? With my dd I started feeling movement from around 16 weeks so thought I might feel something sooner this time but nothing yet, I'm getting impatient

I started feeling things a few days ago and now can feel lots of wriggles! Felt my first earlier!! Felt him at 14ish weeks! Xxx

I'm wondering if I'll feel this one later than my first, 16 weeks is quite early for number 1 I believe and its already proving no pregnancy is the same, I've felt dreadful for the last 10 weeks

with ds I started feeling something around 16 weeks, but no noticeable kicks until 20 weeks or so.

This time around, I felt fluttering around 13w3d, and noticeable kicks around 18 weeks. I didn't start feeling it from the outside until 20 weeks though and have tried to get OH to feel, and he played it off. And now at almost 23 weeks baby is very, very active, especially at night.

My first was around 20 weeks off the top of my head. I had an anterior placenta with him and movement was really hit and miss. I had flutters with him around 14/15 weeks and then literally nothing for weeks.

My second I had the flu really bad at 11 weeks so was in bed for days and I felt flutters then but thought I was crazy until I went to my scan and the movement matched up with her position. I then had nothing until about 15/16 weeks when proper movement started up again.

Now I'm 16 weeks and in my head I was thinking movement happens around 20 weeks (only now that I've had a proper think about the others and written it down do I realise it's usually earlier). I saw the midwife today and she seemed surprised I'd had no movement and kept asking me. I said I have an anterior placenta again so have very little hope for anything before 20 weeks (and have ordered a doppler to stop the worrying I had with the first one) and asked her if it was unusual to have not had movement this early with the third and she just said "with all pregnancies it's generally around 16-18 weeks".

I feel better now I've heard the heartbeat though.

With my first I felt wiggles and movement at 18 weeks. With this one, my second, I felt movements at 16 weeks. From then on until a week ago it's been one day he's really active and then for a few hardly. A few days ago movement really picked up for me and has stayed that way.

I know how you feel about feeling impatient. I just love this part of pregnancy and couldn't wait to feel those wiggles

Much later than with my first.
I felt my first at 11 weeks. And yes I also had an anterior placenta!
Felt regular kicks at 14 weeks and on.

This time I couldn't actually say I felt baby for sure until 2 days ago! At 16+2. I may have felt it before maybe around 13/14 weeks but like I said not sure until just now. And I haven't felt it since that Monday.

Maybe my son was just crazy active. He still is.

1st-20wks
2nd-16 wks
3rd-14wks
4th-13 wks
With this one( #5) I started feelings wiggles and niggles around 11 wks, but it's not been super consistent. I have no idea where my placenta sat with each one.

 

[Zeri]

1st at 13 wks- tiny flutters (posterior placenta)
2nd- started feeling tiniest of flutters at 9 wks! But I have an anterior placenta this time, so the flutters never seemed to get really strong, like with my 1st. At 26 wks it still doesnt feel as strong as with my DD.

 

[Hoping4Four]

First baby - 22 weeks
Second baby - 16 weeks
Third baby - 13 weeks
This baby - 12 weeks officially, but I swear I felt little wiggles even earlier than that. I can't be sure it was definitely baby though

 

[JadeEmChar]

1st was at about 20 weeks
2nd about 18 weeks
3rd about 16 weeks
