big congrats wannabmum - that is fantastic news!

I have a question for you ladies... I am 11 weeks today and this is my second pregnancy. I swear I can feel the baby moving. I think the baby kicked today and now as I type and was on my stomach the baby was kicking me to get off! am I nuts? is it even possible to feel the baby?

I am impatiently waiting for the results of my 35+ blood test results. so is the rest of my family. there are 3 grandsons so they are anxiously awaiting a girl in the family!

Exactly! I know it's not gas and last night I felt flutters but today I felt a kick and just now I felt the baby wriggling around like "get off of me". Glad to know I'm not crazy

 

[ehjmorris]

Nah especially since i had my scan im like i know thats the baby haha it just did not stop moving

Hello everyone, currently 7+3. Have midwife and early scan tomorrow.

I'm feeling fed up!! Last week I had norovirus and then the flu, still getting over it now.

i feel flutters too and can tell if gas- this feels different so maybe? they say 2nd time feel earlier around 13 weeks :S

I think especially after baby number 1 most women feel baby flutters earlier than before. At 11 weeks it's very early but you'll also be more in tune to what your feeling going on inside, so you could very well be feeling baby. If I remember rightly I felt my dd movements at 13 -14 weeks clearly.

I wouldn't think you could feel a kick exactly. Perhaps something moving around. There is just no way something that small could kick that hard (I would assume) I mean there is so much fluid etc in the way. I have felt the "bubbles" but not much else. Although at the same time I'm not a doctor and even they are pretty useless. so only you really know what you felt =)

 

[ehjmorris]

Its just like popcorn kernels popping haha, i first felt flutters with my angel at 15w3d so this time just might be earlier now i know what im looking for and its my second

 

[wanna-b-mummy]

Thank you all so much. My double news is slowly sinking in... Keep crying with excitement and then fear! Still can't believe it

 

[Miss Bellum]

Had my pre-booking appointment today. Bit of a waste of time really. Just reading through some leaflets and an overview of how the clinic works. Still it was nice to see one of the assistants again and she remembered me and my lg which was very sweet.

Hi Amy! :wave:

Can't feel any flutters here but far too early. I don’t think I felt anything till quite late with the first though.

HarboroghMum - sorry you have been ill hope you are feeling better.

Awesome news wanna-b-mummy! What a lovely surprise x

 

[TTC74]

2 hours until my scan. I'm so excited and nervous! I'm not sure why I'm so nervous. I guess I just tried to get pregnant so long and know that I'm about out of time due to advanced maternal ago that it's scary. These darn hormones probably don't help either!

 

[Polly Girl]

Haven't posted for a while, but been lurking!
Got my scan appt - 31 Dec, and a consultant appt on 8 Jan (due to previous section).
Course, I couldn't wait that long so have a private scan on 21 Dec.
So excited but so terrified at the same time!

Well, ladies, I have some news. We went for our scan this morning... and was shocked to be told there isn't just one baby... there are TWO in there! No history of twins in either of our families. Just an absolutely shocker and bolt from the blue! To say we are in shock is an understatement. I keep crying, shaking, laughing. I just cannot believe it. They were both measuring great, both one day ahead taking me to 9+6 instead of 9+5. They both weigh practically the same. One hb 171bpm, the other 164bpm. I am so scared. Feel very very blessed, but very frightened! But everything looks great. First midwife apt tomorrow where I can officially register myself as having twins and will then referred for specialist care and to a doctor that deals with multiples. I can't believe it. Here they are (photo of a photo so not that great!)

Congrats Can they tell with twins straight away if they are identica/ fraternal. Do you know ? I know it sounds like a silly question Growing up i always thought it was as simple as seeing if they had one placenta etc. However my friend has twins and they are identical (to me at least) But she assures me she had them tested and they are not! As in they had a blood test. This baffles me

 

[wanna-b-mummy]

Good luck for your scans ladies - everything will be perfect, just you watch!

Think we posted at the same time! Thank you! Oh God, I am still so clueless. I've not properly seen a specialist yet who can tell me what I need to know. The sonographer yesterday said I have a 1 in 3 chance of them being identical. I think there is less chance of them being identical when they have separate waters and placenta like mine, but still a chance. There's a scan/test we have that tells us I think. Again, I don't really know! It's such a shock and wasn't expected, I have zero idea. Not until we've had our first "proper" scan and seen the consultant anyway! This whole twin thing has opened up a brand new can of worms for me. I knew everything there was to know about babies and pregnancy... twins? Nothing! I am out in the woods and slightly terrified!
