Pregnancy Info HOME

I am at 10 weeks and 2nd preg and I thought I was crazy! I have been feeling the "flutters" for a couple weeks now and it is just like it was with my dd - who I felt at 14 weeks. I just found out that I am having twins and felt it again today and clearly its a bump not gas..... looking forward to more kicks & rolls:)

I am seven weeks, and all week I have been feeling movement. This is my second pregnancy, and so I also know that it is NOT gas. I haven't been to the doctor yet, though I have an appointment. I have also been feeling extra extra tired, weak and winded just going up my stairs! Nice to know I am not crazy.

I am now ten weeks pregnant with my second pregnancy and I have been feeling movement since eight weeks. I hope it's twins! I haven't found any other web sites where moms have felt movement this early only this one and it looks like most of the women are having twins so i'm very excited! I have a doctors appointment this week so I will update you.My fingers are crossed!

I am 9 weeks..and i feel movement..and have for the past 3 weeks or so... this is my 6th pregnancy... two ended in miscarriages, 3 are my beautiful children... I keep telling my husband.. i think we're having twins.. i find out Tuesday... Im' so excited. Is this possible?

If you are 10 weeks, your baby(ies) are only 8 weeks gestation.. and they are barely an inch long, and do not have real muscles or bones in place in order to make a movement. Sorry, you will have to be patient and wait till the 13 week minimum mark when your child(ren) actually have the bones and muscles available and coordinated in order to make a movement you can feel!

Some of you are scareing me! I'm 8wks
along with twins. Had help!Not my first pregnancy but 2 ended in miscarriage before 7wks. Last week we heard both there little heartbeats! What a great sound. I'm not "showing" at all yet, just look a bit bloated. Sometimes I don't even feel pregnant. The nausia was worse earlier on, not so bad now. Is this normal? How soon did you show?

I am going on 10 weeks in my second pregnancy. My morning sickness is much worse than my last pregnancy and I just recently began feeling what I think may be fetal movement (little butterflies)! I go to the doctor next week, hopefully I can find out then!

i think anything is possible it depends on our bodies and the way we are built from inside, where and how the uterous is lying...i have a tilted uterous as i was told..so its lying towards the front and hence i have felt flutters already and am only 9 weeks. as far as i know for now (i had 2 US's done) i am only carrying one baby!)
but its definately flutters and not gas as it started last week and now it is much more frequent and common..it may not be the actual limbs of the baby (since they are only short) but it is probably the swishing movemnets it makes in the amniotic fluid whihc then gets displayed around. i had 2 babies before so i know exactly what they feel like...
with my first i felt him move at 14 weeks the second i felt him move at 11 weeks and this one at 9 ! your body gets used to the sensations i think with successive pregnancies just as one gets used feeling when they ovulate!
i would assume that it would be more commonly with twins to feel them move so early on....good luck with your scans and please let us know if you carry twins for sure....baby dust to all...

Yas, the uterus is supposed to lean to the front. I have a tilted or tipped uterus and a tilted uterus means it is laying or tilted toward the back not the front. In fact, a lot of women with a tilted uterus will not feel movement as soon as others with a normal placed uterus. It can also make it more difficult for a DR to get a hb with a Doppler in the early part of the first trimester and hard to do an u/s. So, if your DR said your uterus is leaning towards the front, that is perfectly normal.

thanks onetwothree, point taken....but people need to know that nothing innature is plain and simply black or white...so if i know i can feel flutters at 9 weeks or somene else at 8...one should gie them a bit more credibilty unless they seem unsure... i am sure i can...i have a very very good idea of what it feels like when the first flutters come...i had the worst gas trouble at the beginning of this pregnancy that one can imagine off but they were completely different..and these flutters are def the movement of the baby inside the amniotic fluid.....nothing anyone tells me will make me think otherwise...and i have read many posts not just on here but even 6 years ago of women who have felt them early on like me....and when i say my uterous is tilted....it is very much so...it is about the size of a tennis ball now and you can hardly miss it....its bulging out at the front almost...lol...my hubby tells me in knickers i almost look like i got the opposite genitals..LOL!!!!thats how muhc it sticks out...i also have very bad case of the urge of urniating as it excerts alot of pressure on my bladder...i cannot stop going to the toilet...and constantly fell like a wee even when i dont have anything inside...
i have had 2 kids and i always focussed on my body very stronly and all the changes...so if i say i fell flutters i can assure that i do....

oh for those of you interested in movements and the possibilities....just go to the BabyCentre community boards website there is a forum fully dedicated to fetal movement..you will be pleasantly surprised to all that can be possible in nature!!!

Yas, I was only stating the medical facts about a tilted uterus which I have been diagnosed with so I very familiar about it. You're saying that yours leans to the front and that is not a tilted uterus but a normally placed one which will give you no worries. I have not in my post anywhere suggested that you are not feeling flutters. If you say you are then you are. Having prior pregnancies allows a mother to feel the baby earlier.

A uterous can be tilted to the front or back both mean you have a "tilted uterous" a normal uterous is not tilted forward or backward it is just straight...http://www.babyhopes

Yas, I visited the site you posted about (Babycentre) and found this information: When will I feel my baby's first movements?
Feeling those first, tiny sensations inside are a key landmark of your pregnancy. And when those movements become vigorous kicks, you know everything is going well.


If this is your first pregnancy, you may not even notice your baby moving around immediately because you won't be familiar with the sensation — which many women describe as a gentle fluttering motion.


For a first pregnancy you will probably be aware of something at around 18 to 20 weeks. For subsequent pregnancies, when you know the tell-tale signs, first movements can be felt earlier, at around 15 to 18 weeks. 9 weeks? Are you sure it's not gas?

At 9 weeks your baby is only .9 of an inch. There is no way that you could feel the fetus that early. Also, the bones have not even hardened to feel movement.
