What Is the Earliest You've Felt the Baby Move?

I just felt my first movements a few weeks ago at 14-15 weeks. This is my 2nd pregnancy and I am a whole lot thinner than my first pregnancy and I felt the first movements on that one at about 19 weeks

I was 18 weeks pregnant when I felt my daughter move. I'm curious to see if I'll feel other kiddos sooner. I'm not pregnant yet, but will be trying for #2 in a few months.

With my first, I didn't feel her move until about 19-20 weeks pregnant but with my second I felt him around 13 weeks. I know that seems crazy early but it kept happening and I know it was him! I know I've read that you feel babies sooner if its not your first pregnancy and if you are thin. Congrats on your pregnancy!

i am just about as far along in my pregnancy. i think that i can feel the baby moving as well. congratulations!

So funny to see your question because I am due at the end of December and have been kind of worrying that I haven't for sure felt this baby move yet. My twin girls I didn't feel until around 20 weeks or so and my 1 year old boy I felt around 15 weeks. I have thought a few times I have felt this baby move but it just seems so inconsistent at this point. I guess I have forgotten that at this point even when you do sometimes feel them it is several days before you feel the baby again. I'm sure before long we'll all be saying get out of my ribs and stay still!!!!

It is Very possible that you already feel movement, especially being your second pregnancy. You typically feel everything sooner than you did with your first.

I felt movement at around the same time as you are w/my second which was on Thanksgiving Day. It was definitely a Blessing:)

Good Luck to you

Victoria, Since you already had one you know what it feels like. If you are feeling movement then it is movement. I felt my second move at 16 weeks. It was Awesome!!!

Hi Victoria,

I felt my first at 16 weeks and my second, well there were so many times after like the 10th week that I thought I felt her, but I didnt feel her FOR SURE until 19 weeks. With the second they say you usually feel them earlier, but she was a little harder to feel, but like I said I felt little somethings at 10 weeks.....and it probably was her. I just know at 19 weeks I could really feel her. Congrats!!!

I'm 26 wks pregnant with my third and I did feel movement at that stage of my pregnancy with this one, but I doubt it was from the baby. You are more sensitive to feeling your baby move after already being pregnant before, but the movement that you're feeling is most likely gas, or bubbling in your intestines, (sounds lovely doesn't it?) Your digestive system just goes crazy when you get pregnant, this is what my OB explained to me. Your baby right now is only about 1 1/2 inches long, while it is definitely moving in there, I think it's probably too early to feel any movement yet. I've read that moms who have had pregnancies before do feel movement as early as 14-16 wks, which is still considered early.

Another possibility is that maybe you are a little bit futher along than you thought!

But like you, I thought I felt movements from the baby that early, but a few weeks later when I could really tell that it was the baby, I figured the times before were probably just my digestive system playing tricks on me!

With my first, about 20 weeks or so.

I am now 16 weeks pregnant, and felt it for the first time last night.

Hi Victoria,
Congratulations on your upcoming arrival! I felt my son move for the first time at 18 weeks old.
