How early did you feel the baby move in second or subsequent pregnancies? I know it's still too early for me, but I'm waiting!

I could feel by 13 weeks every single time. it was able to be felt by others around 16-18 weeks the last two times.

My last pregnancy was the earliest and it was 16 weeks exactly. It was my birthday and I felt him move in the same area (lower area of one side) every day after that until he got bigger and I felt him all over.

My uterus is apparently ultra sensitive. In my second and third pregnancies, I could feel movement by 8-10 weeks. The ultrasound tech thought I was nuts but my midwife believed me. She thought me being petite had something to do with it.

TBH, I barely feel this baby right now even though on ultrasounds she is constantly moving.

16-18 weeks all three times, for those first flutters.

It was 17 weeks with the first (even DH felt it), but not until 18 weeks with the second and third. But I had anterior placentas with both subsequent pregnancies, so that made it later than normal.

20 weeks with the first - anterior placenta and really just didn't feel much the whole way through. 17-18 weeks this time around, but posterior placenta and I'm definitely feeling MUCH more movement throughout this pregnancy.

I felt DS2 starting at around 8 weeks too. My OB told me it was because I'm so thin and had BTDT before so knew what to expect.

Just shy of 20w w/ my first--anterior placenta--but boy was she a wiggle worm! Pretty much after that I felt her every day and she hasn't stopped moving, wiggling and squirming since. She even wiggles in her sleep. This time around (>17w) and still no real sensations. I have this feeling I have persistent anterior placentas.
