3girls do you know where your placenta is? If it is anterior (at the front) you wont be able to feel kicks as early as some just because its in the way. With my DD i think it was around 20 weeks when i could feel her, and nothing so far with this bub.
My placenta is anterior this time and I just now feel a lot of movement, a week ago barely anything. With my first two I felt movement at 14-15 weeks.
Hi 3girls! I felt flutters with this little one at 11 weeks--no lie! I thought maybe it was gas, but the flutters have become a bit stronger and more distinctive over the past couple of weeks. Now, I don't feel it often, maybe once a day for a few seconds. With DS1, I felt first kicks at 14+weeks. Both my babes have posterior placentas, so I guess they're easier to feel? I have two friends who had anterior placentas, and neither one felt any kicks until 18-20 weeks (and they are both very thin). Congrats on your pregnancy! I'm assuming you swayed? :)
Honestly I know it's frustrating but being that the baby is in that position I doubt any nub guess would even be accurate.
Ok, I am officially obsessing over my nub and have 3.5 weeks to go! My pic is tricky due to baby's position but I am getting mostly boy guesses. That said, lovemy4 has said she doesn't think this is a nub shot. Coldwater said that given the position of the baby and that the baby is also turned slightly, it is impossible to give an accurate guess. The tech on babycenter, Turtle told me that this line is the cord insertion point. I know I should believe the "experts" and "tech," but I don't understand why I would get so many boy guesses and why the line I believe to be the nub looks like it is in the same spot as soooo many others. This was much easier b4 those 3 chimed in and I was getting used to the idea of not getting my DD.

I know...I almost wish I never had this picture! I over analyze everything and getting mixed answers does not help that one bit!Quote:

My placenta is anterior this time too :( It was with DS2 but I felt him around 17 weeks from memory.. I hope I still get to feel this lil bubba soon, I dont like using my doppler everyday but until I feel movement I find it comforting to hear bubba's heartbeat. My uterus was retroverted too but thankfully it has tipped forward the last 2 days so hearing the heartbeat doesnt take as long anymore.. My boys heard it today which was really cute. They said they could hear baby moving aswell. Melted my heart, they looked really excited.
Cant wait to hear about the upcoming scans!! Exciting times!!
jheitz that scan is a tricky one hey, It's so hard to tell hun, sorry :(
Hope everyone is well.
jheitz, without knowing anything about the cord insertion point, I would have initially thought it was a boy nub - but then I seem to have trouble spotting boy nubs for some reason, so I'm not much help.
I am hanging out to feel bub move too, I felt my boys pretty early and so am kind of expecting to feel this one in the next couple of weeks hopefully. The sonographer said the placenta was developing at the "back" so I assume that means it won't be in the way of feeling movements.
Tomorrow I will officially be in the second trimester :celebrate: - though my ticker seems to be one day behind on here, or maybe it's because I'm from New Zealand so I'm a day ahead of this website?
Take care everyone!
Thinking of u mummy! Will check bk for news when I drop my boys off at sch! 30mins to go eeekkkk xxx
