   they do say that you can feel bubs move earlier with your second and third etc pregnancies as you know what to look for..
 
 how exciting

   I *thought* I felt the bubbles thing at about 12 weeks, although I may have been dreaming.  Maybe cos you know what it feels like after 1 you are more "aware" of those sorts of feelings?

   I'm on to my 3rd pregnancy, & still I can't feel this bub!  My first I felt at 17 weeks, 2nd at 20 weeks.  So hopefully within the next few weeks I will start to feel something.  
 You're very lucky if you can feel movement so early, its a great feeling.

   I felt flutterings between 13-14wks, then a definite kick at 16 weeks.  Too early for a first pregnancy apparently, but another girl at work felt her first bub at 16 weeks too and her mw said it was because she had not much fat on her.  My doc just said he must be an active baby for me to feel it so soon.
 I've heard you feel it sooner with subsequesnt pregnancys though, so your probably not losing it!

   I felt Joshua move at about 16 weeks too.  There wasn't much left of me at that stage after all the vomiting, so maybe thats why I felt him so early???

   I felt movement at about 16-17 weeks, only flutterings, but I'm certainly not small!    |

   I felt my baby move at about 15 weeks.  It was a bit strange I think to feel it that early but it made me feel better that I could feel the movements from then on.

   I felt the first definite kicks the day before 18wks, but before then I kept thinking I could feel flutterings.  It may have been wishful thinking though!

   First flutters were at my 12 week scan, quite freaky watching the screen and seeing button moving and then feeling it.  Movements have become more definite now (still flutters though).  Have only felt one definite movement, felt like button was changing positions..

   When I first started feeling things I wa getting this weird feeling like someone was getting my insides and turning them inside out.  I figured it was bubs rolling over but it made me feel quite ill, like my eyes rolled back when it happened.  Havent felt it since I started to feel regular movements...anyone else had this?

   I felt Maya at 17 weeks, with the gremlins it was 13 weeks, my midwife didn't believe me until I showed her and thats exactly where she found the heartbeats. Apparently it's common to feel twins earlier, I guess coz there's more movement, altho mine weren't particularly active babies even later on.

   With Kiya it was at approx. 23 weeks, with Josiah between 17 and 18 weeks and with Xavier I thought it was just on 12 weeks but it turned out to be 8 weeks!

   i cant remember now when i started feeling this bubs move, but it was around then to. with haleigh it wasnt till i was a little further along.
but i was told its nromal to feel them early esp with 2nd, 3rd etc pregnancies.
 but with this one i felt proper kicks about 18wks, and these alien like movements from about 26wks.
