How early did you feel belly flutters? I have felt it a couple of times and I am at 12/13 weeks... and I am pretty sure it`s not gas or tummy rumbles because they just feel different. But they say that you don`t really feel them until 16 to 20 weeks... am I just imagining things?

Melanie07 - 82 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) It can very easily be the baby you are feeling. Most first time mom's don't feel it till later. There are some who feel it early. I do know that I felt it sooner with each one of my kids. Part of it has to do with knowing what to watch for.

MelissaJoanne - 85 days ago Rating: 4 (1 votes) I'm 15 weeks, and I don't think I've felt them yet. You may have, it is possible.

denee85 - 85 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) This was my second baby and I felt little tiny flutters at about 12 weeks..But it's really hard to tell until 16 weeks or so if that's actually what you're feeling..but it's cool to believe it is :)

weenie - 86 days ago Rating: 4 (1 votes) I've heard that you can start feeling movement anywhere between 12 and 16 weeks, so it's possible!

Mommyof2boys - 86 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I was like 15 weeks with my first and probably 12 with my second.

Rebekahs-mama - 86 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) My friend felt hers at 12 weeks and now at 15 weeks she is feeling full blown kicks! with my daughter I felt my first flutters at 15 weeks and they were obviously different from gas! So when you know, you know!

rvblessed - 86 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I'm feeling my baby also...I'm 12w3d and sure its not gas

athome - 86 days ago Rating: 4 (1 votes) depends on weather or not this is your first pregnancy. The average is 18 weeks for the first but I am up to pregnancy no 4 and I felt bubs flutter at 10.5 weeks but stopped pretty much after that for a few weeks and has only just started small movements yesterday I am now 16+6

ashleyandcaleb - 87 days ago Rating: 4.5 (2 votes) I felt it around 12 weeks i didnt let anyone know because most people would say its just gas,but i knew it wasnt.

lmo - 87 days ago Rating: 4 (2 votes) i really didnt feel my daughter flutter until 16 weeks but i have heard that you can feel them sooner than that every womens pregnancy is different.

Baby3OnWay - 87 days ago Rating: 4 (1 votes) i felt them this early with my second and third!!!! I have heard of it happening with the first as well though!

Its-Chelle - 87 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) i remember feeling those flutters really well that early on, i was prego with my 4 th child..i had mentioned that to the u/s tech and she said NO NO thats to early to feel anything..i was like, uhhh its my body, and i can tell what im feeling, you just know!its a tickly fluttery feeling, kind of cool..lol i miss it..

asutori - 87 days ago It does tickle, it's not like any other feeling I've had before... I consider myself to be quite body-conscious and I'm also not overweight (if that does make a difference)

RandiLee - 87 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I felt them around 16 weeks, that's when most first time mommy's do...but I do know that it's possible to feel it that early, a lot of second and third time mom's do... they just say that first timers aren't used to the feeling, so they can't recognize it. But yeah, it feels like butterflies...it's weird.

mommy-of-3 - 87 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) Strange as it may be some women do swear that they have felt the baby move very early on. You might be right and that is what you are feeling. The other possibility is that you are feeling gas. For the most part most women don't feel fluttering until around 16-18 weeks.

lizzie287 - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) When I was 11 weeks I was DEAD convinced that I felt the baby move. Just once though. Then at week 16 or so when I really did start feeling the baby move, I felt like an idiot. Not saying that's for sure what it is in your case, because I'm positive that some people probably do feel movement very early, but unless it's consistent, I wouldn't count on it.

gr8scottswife - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Does it tickle?

niki - 87 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It depends on the babys size when i was pregnant i didnt feel futters until i was bout 17 weeks. Everyone is different but as time goes on they will get stronger. Take care x

baby.bray - 87 days ago Rating: 4 (1 votes) this is my first pregnancy...I thought that I felt my baby move at around 16 weeks but I wasnt 100% - then at 17 weeks I was sat in a cafe and got a massive boot which I was very sure about - he made me jump! lol :-)

Christina1984 - 87 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) this is my 2nd pregnancy but i felt them at 12 weeks. they say u can feel them sooner if u are very slim. i think thats what u are feeling.

lady26 - 87 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) The first time I felt flutters it was around 10/11wks. However, everyone has their own theory some say the earliest you can feel it is 14wks, some say thinner women tend to feel movements earlier than a person with more weight, some say it depends on the shape of your uterus. I think it's possible to feel it that early. I am sure you know the difference between gas and flutter movements, alot of women said they have felt it even earlier, I am sure we are not all crazy.

UKMama - 87 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) No you are not imagining it. That's your baby alright! Most so they say, don't seem to notice these feelings or rather perhaps they don't feel sure enough of themselves before 16-20 weeks to KNOW it's the baby. Some are less interested in feeling the movements too or are less body-aware. It's great you are feeling your babe so early. Lucky you, lucky them!

asutori - 87 days ago Yes it it in my lower abdomen around my belly button where they found my Bean in the ultrasound and it literally feels like flutters or bubbles!

dvsrunt - 87 days ago Rating: 5 (1 votes) I am swearing that I feel it too!!! and I'm 13 weeks!

LOL This is my 3rd and I felt my 2nd baby around 14 weeks...hehe!! enjoy!
