Hi everyone,

I have been feeling quickening since 12 weeks, hope this is normal? From what I have read it's really early, anyone else felt the baby moving this early?

With ds2 I felt movement at 11w4d, later in the pregnancy he was a real mover. And now as a two year old he's climbing the walls!! But yes, I felt movement really early as well!! Congrats!

Wow 11+4 is really early Tarasue, thanks for that, just wanted to make sure it's normal

Thread crashing- I felt DS2 movement at 10w2d confirmed during my first US! My midwife scheduled the US because she found his heartbeat on the Doppler right away! I was so sick and couldn't keep anything down. She thought I was having twins!

During the US, I kept feeling him move. The tech asked me to press a button to mark on the screen when I felt him move. Every time he made large movements, I had pressed the button and recorded it on the US!

Crazy, huh?! Totally possible to feel baby early if you have been pregnant before!

I hope i can feel the baby that early...will help calm my anxiety!! I felt ds2 at 14 weeks. Ds3 though was 19 weeks as my placenta was anterior.

Ultrasound went well! Measuring right on, 7 weeks 6 days. Heart beat 167[emoji173]️. It relieving but not?!? I just know nothing is yet certain, I suppose it never is until you hold that baby in your arms.

That's wonderful 2boys! I have a feeling everything will be just fine for you! I totally get the feeling of fear though...so hard.

I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts on whether or not I should do a CVS or an amnio. Because of my age, I feel the need to do invasive diagnostic testing. But I worry about CVS potentially harming the placenta-- although it would be so tempting to know that everything is ok so much earlier. What are you all doing?

Keshet - just dropping in this thread to say I think with all the risks involved with an amnio or CVS you should consider NIPT (Harmony, Maternit21, etc instead). You can take some of them as early as 8-10 weeks and then if you get positive results you could always get the CVS/Amnio to confirm. Is there a particular condition you need to test for that isn't covered by NIPT ? I'm not sure where you're located but in the US my Maternit21 wasn't covered by insurance but they have a special if insurance won't cover it, it's only $200.

Hi Bluebonnet, thank you for writing. I thought about NIPT and went to the doctor to do it. But, she convinced me that it is pretty limited in terms of the number of conditions that it could pick up. I am 42 and already have a child with issues. I want to be absolutely sure as much as I possibly can that there are no genetic issues. But, at the same time want to do what is safest.
