Kicks from the outside?!

[justplay91]

So I apparently have a very active little girl according to the sonographer and the last two days I have felt definite movement from the outside!! My husband felt it too! It's just so bizarre because I didn't feel my son from the outside until about 21-22 weeks. Around this point with him, it was like little scritch-scratches from the inside. With her, it's like actual kicks already! At about 3 oz, how is that even possible??

I didn't feel my 1st 2 until 20 weeks and 21 weeks respectively, and a few weeks after for kicks from the outside. This time I felt movement from just before 14 weeks and DH felt him/her from about 17 weeks, maybe a few days before, and I felt them a few days later. I wasn't expecting it, but I guess its true that you feel subsequent pregnancies earlier

I didn't feel #1 until well after 20 weeks but this one I have been feeling since 14/15 weeks and outside from about the same time as you but DH hasn't felt her yet and she doesn't like to move for other people only mummy (same with DS)

She has super kick boxing days some days (like yesterday) and then quiet days (like today)

I've been getting strong movements since 17 weeks! & my OH felt her on the outside then too! Couldn't believe it, I didnt feel 'flutters' with my daughter until 19 weeks and not strong movements until 20 odd weeks! I'm 24 weeks now and my tummy goes crazy on the outside all the time x

I'm feeling kicks that feel like mini electric shocks, my oh had is hand on my belly last night and was adamant he felt her kick so who knows maybe we've just got strong baba's

Huh! I did not even know it was possible this early. The strange thing is with this baby, I haven't even felt flutters. It went from nothing at all basically to kicks and rolls!

I could be the position she is in now compared to before

I was the same, I haven't really had flutters, I got this light sensation of movement/squirming then taps so it was like I was only feeling the really big movements not the tiny ones that make the flutters if that makes sence. I started getting more like small kicks than taps at I hit 16 weeks and it's weird because now when I am sat up slightly leaning foward I feel proper kicks and today when I pressed down a bit I felt little flicks on my hand when I got the biggest kicks but I haven't felt it that strong again since. When I am stood up or lay down the movements are still much lighter. not a chance of feeling from the outside then.

I'm 20 weeks with my third (baby girl) and I haven't really felt her from the outside. I started feeling flutters at 16 weeks. She's kinda a quiet baby but I feel her regularly throughout the day. My boys were super active! I felt them on the outside much earlier!
