Ok, I am 13 weeks prego with my first child. About 3 days ago I started feeling faint little flutters. It lasted all day for 2 days happening every 3 or 4 hours or so. I didn't feel anything yesterday and this morning I felt another flutter while in the grocery store. Could I be feeling the baby moving this early or is there another explanation?
though most will tell you its gas.
I felt my first before 11 weeks, and this one before 9 weeks (although we did conceive twins but I miscarried one).
Many people will tell you that you 'can't' feel the baby this early - truth is, THEY can't!! My daughter's movements were confirmed by a fertility specialist and the doctor!
How early you feel movement depends on the baby's position, the position of your uterus, how in tune you are with your body and how active your little one is. It sounds likely that it's your bub :)
One thing though, don't panic for a few weeks if the feeling is irregular (or even if you skip a whole day without noticing it!!) My daughter didn't stop moving from about 12 weeks. She was kicking plates off my belly by 14 weeks, so everyone else could feel her early. When she stopped moving for 2 hours a couple days before the labour we went to the hospital as she was never that still for that long!! Saying all of this - the first week was really irregular movement! It worried me at first, but the same thing happened with this one. I get it every day now, but it took 2 weeks this time to become a daily thing with nice strong kicks xx
