   Hey there, just a question - i'm currently 16 weeks pregnant with my second child - i was wondering when you started to feel baby move - i've been under a lot of stress lately and i am eager to start feeling baby just to satisfy myself all is well.  I'm also quite a big lady and wonder if this delays feeling babies first stirings.

   i felt harmony at around 16 wks.it depends on where ur placenta is lying also.if its in front it will take a bit longer to feel movements.

   lol.
 Becks is right, 2nd time around for me the placenta was in the front, so i think it was quite late that i felt proper movements.. about 20 weeks maybe, and even then they were only in certain places, to the side, at the back etc until Ayja got bigger.

   i felt this 1 at around 14weeks preg, and yes size does matter in early feelings, but it shouldnt be far away, its such a great feeling, but early on when you can feel them at times you start to stress when you cant feel them, which is normal to, it also makes a differenec in which way babys lying, back out to your tummy will make it more difficult to feel movements.. hope its not to far away for you...   |

   I've been able to feel bubs move for about a week now and possible movements for a few days before that, but this morning I could feel the movements with my had on my tummy!  I didn't expect to be able too so soon.
