When Was the First Time You Felt Your Baby Move??

Yep, it's the baby. I promise you that I felt my first one move just under 8 weeks, but my OB told me that it was too early to tell. Well, it was too low to be gas :0) and it was a definite pokey/fluttering feeling. I just let my OB feel smart but I KNEW that was my boy saying "Hi Mom!" for the first time.

Congratulations!!

I was 14 weeks along with my 2nd baby when I first felt her move. I'm really skinny, so they say it can be felt sooner in 2nd pregnancys and skinny people.
Congrats on the new baby!

I was probably around 16 weeks along with my second one when I felt him move. I think that is your little baby you are feeling how fun congrats!!!

That is your little one for sure:) I always said it felt like a butterfly in there at first, and then, I thought it felt like a hamster running around using the inside of my belly as its wheel. I felt that a little earlier with my later pregnancies, so it is likely that if you felt number 1 at 16 weeks, you would be feeling this one now. I hope you have a healthy successful pregnancy!~A.~

I am pregnant with my 3rd baby right now and probably around 19-20 weeks I would occassional flutters that felt like baby movement. Now that I am a little further along (23 weeks) I feel flutters at some point everyday, but no real kicking or major movement yet. I was a little worried at first, but because I have had so many appointments and sonograms I haven't really thought about it too much. Congratulations on baby #2!

Sounds like you're feeling the first flutters of movement to me. What a joy! Fifteen weeks is close enough. The old wives tales say that the first movement marks the halfway mark; but I'm sure your doctor would laugh at that. Flutters and tiny thumps means the baby is doing his/her thing! Enjoy!
