[delirious]

with dd1 i had fluttering movements from about 16 weeks with dd2 they started at about 13 weeks.

Houston 16 weeks
Delilah 19 weeks
and I thought you were supposed to feel the 2nd earlier than the first? Hmm...

I didnt think that you could feel a baby 'kick' before about 14 weeks because their limbs are too small and their movements are not strong enough to be felt by the stomach nerves???

I think so too Hannah....
at 12 weeks for example... the baby is most likely less than 5cm long! it's so hard to imagine that you would feel movement from something so small.... but I guess it's possible.

I chose 16 weeks cause that how long it took me to work out that it was baby and not gas I felt pops and bubbles from around 10 weeks though

I started feeling movement at about 11weeks with Lucy and was concerned that maybe I had twins, had an ultrasound and nop just one but yup they def were the start of the fluttery baby movements

I felt both (DS and this baby) at 17 weeks. I thought I'd feel this one earlier , but no.
