    So, who's feeling their little ones wiggling around?

    I'm pretty sure I'm feeling regular movement, not every day yet. I usually feel it the most when I'm laying on my right side. Sometimes it's a flutter, sometimes it feels like someone is taking the tip of their finger nail and and draging it around the inside of my stomach in a small area. Last night was the strongest I felt anything. I'm really looking forward to the day when the boys will be able to feel the kicks, too.

    That's so exciting that you can feel your baby already, Diana! I can't wait to feel the baby move--and then for dh to feel the kicks, too!

    All the things I've read, though, say first time mothers generally don't feel the movement for a few weeks yet--I'll "only" be 15 weeks on Tuesday. Experienced moms often feel it earlier...

    Question for anyone: In either previous pregnancies or this one, what's the earliest you have ever felt your baby move (and were sure it was your baby)?

    I started to feel the flutters at about 13 weeks but more definet movement about 2 weeks ago. A few minghts ago my partner was able to feel the baby by placing her hand on my belly very faint thumps but it was there none the less. I could sit all day with my hands on my belly!!

    I am definitely feeling my little one on a regular basis. It was so regular that when I did not feel it for a day I TOTALLY freaked out and broke out the Babybeat, could not find it and then my DH came home and found it right away!

    Yes, I agree that re-moms tend to feel movements earlier. When I was pregnant with my first, I thought I could feel her early but I did not feel confident that it was really movements. With my second, I was able to know that, yes, I was feeling the baby move, and with my third I could feel a lot really early. So this time, when I started to feel movement around 13 weeks, I was sure, but I know it will be a long time before anyone else can feel this little one...

    Happy Flutters,
    Jo

    I definitely am, but I was wrong about which baby I'm feeling the most. I'm feeling my daughter, which is baby A. I think I very infrequently feel my son, though his placenta may be in the way, I'm not sure.

    I think I might be. They are very few and far between though. Today I am 16w6d - the exact day in my last pregnancy that I for sure felt my baby move.

    My last preg the placenta was in front and acted as a barrier so I didn't feel much movement until the very end. I did use the babybeat about once a week to be sure the baby was ok. This time, the placenta doesn't seem to be in front (I asked at the first u/s) and I'm fairly sure I've felt some movement for a couple of weeks now.

    Oh, and I didn't get the babybeat this time. I seem to be less worried than with the first pregnancy (either that or I'm just too busy to have time to worry)

    I haven't felt anything yet. I thought a couple of times that I may have felt a little something but it was so fast and light it could have been anything or gas.

    I'll be 16 weeks on Thursday, so, I'm sure I'll start to feel something in the next few weeks. I can't even remember how far along I was with my other 2 when I felt anything. I'm sure that it was 18+ weeks.

    I distinctly felt a butt pushing out a couple nights ago. That was the first time I could really distinguish a body part. These twins aren't as active as I remember my son being, but I guess it's still early.
