MOOKS & later stage pregnants

[laurack]

When did you feel movement with #2 (or +) compared to #1?

When were you about to hear the heartbeat on doppler with #2 compared to #1?

Just curious if its true you might feel movement earlier with subsequent pregnancies!

Not a MOOK but just wanted to add that I think you should add a ticker.

I NEED TO KNOW ALL OF THE THINGS AND HOW FAR ALONG EVERYONE IS! You are throwing me off.

[Faevantastic]

I'm interested too. I can't wait to break out my doppler.

[charlielove]

I definitely felt movement earlier. With #1 I thought I felt movement at 16 weeks, but wasn't confident until 18 weeks. With #2 I felt movement for sure at about 15 weeks. I didn't use a Doppler at home, so I don't know about that.

[katfco]

I don't know if I actually felt movement earlier so much as I actually knew what it was. The first time, it's hard to really differentiate what's actual baby movement and what's, well, other kids of movement. By the second pregnancy, you know what is and isn't baby.

As for heartbeat, it was around the same time, but that's because of when my appointments were.

I felt DD2 really early. My family didn't really believe me, but I was definitely feeling her. I don't remember exactly when, but it was early.

With DD1 I had an anterior placenta, so I didn't feel her until well after 20 weeks.

I think that I was able to feel movement a bit earlier or at least identify movement from gas, etc.
So far, baby 2 is MUCH more active than Henry ever was.

[kdrake8]

It was earlier, which I think was really weird with my placenta previa. They were tiny movements but I want to say around 16-17 weeks?

[sunshineluv]

I have had an anterior placenta both times. I know I didn't feel movement for a long time with Henry, but I can't remember what week it was.

I felt movement for the first time last week, and I feel it occasionally since then. I love it!!

[carawestt]

I felt flutters at 13 weeks this time and could see it from the outside by 16 weeks. I didn't feel movement (or was sure that's what it was) with Lincoln until around 16-17 weeks. This baby moves constantly, I love it Lincoln was a mover and shaker too.

I heard the HB at 12 weeks at the dr with the doppler (that was the first time they used it, so I probably could've heard earlier).

[sunshineluv]

Ditto rubber pants on the ticker :-). We need to keep track!

[fusion]

I had an anterior placenta with Anna, so it wasn't until closer to 20 weeks. I was sad about it in the beginning, but it sure helped muffle the big uncomfortable movements at the end.

[kcsp910]

I felt movement with this one around 15 weeks. With Caroline, it was more like 18 weeks when I knew it was her moving around in there.

With the doppler, I think I found both heartbeats around 9/10 weeks.

[cat19]

The AP queen has nothing to add here other then bitterness. Stupid placenta.

[biblionerd]

I heard all on the Doppler around 9-10 weeks. I felt movement earlier each time. I believe the first two were 16 weeks, 12 weeks, then this one started in the 9th week! Crazy.

I felt it five weeks later with DS2 (23 vs 18). No idea why! I was a little sad about it.

[thedahliharpa]

About 17 weeks with #1 but closer to 19/20 w/ #2 and my anterior placenta.

[skwcm80]

I felt movement later the second time. I was quite a bit heavier when I got pregnant with A and I suppose that has something to do wiith it.

[TrudyCampbell]

I heard the HB on Doppler at 8w this time but I'm thinking I might have been 8w6d if those new dates are more accurate.

Heard it at 9w with Violet

[eav2c]

I started feeling movement with #2 at 17 weeks whereas I felt C the first time earlier. However, this baby has been very consistent in movement everyday where I can already count kicks. Colin was not really ever consistent but I really did not feel him daily until 25+ weeks. I heard them both on the doppler around 12w. Apparently many women feel subsequent movement in pregnancies about 4 weeks earlier.

[tuck]

17ish weeks with Holden, 14 weeks with Sadie. But, the movements weren't as strong. She was a pretty chill fetus.

[nilex0102]

Around 15/16 week with #2 and pretty early at around 13 weeks with #2

[irish625]

I'm pretty sure I've been feeling baby sporadically this week (14 weeks). I felt Audrey at 16 weeks and could see/DH could feel movements with her at 18 weeks. No experience with the doppler!

[joyhart02]

Am I a bad mom if I don't remember? I also did not have a home Doppler......

[greenkitty98]

I don't remember exactly, but I think it was around 13 weeks for B and around 10/11 weeks for P. They were both super active and kicked hard!

I didn't have a doppler at home, and I think it was around 12 weeks that they used it at my doctor's appointment. The first appointment was always a trans-vaginal u/s so they could make sure everything was okay and so that they didn't freak out moms by not being able to detect the hb with the doppler, since it is harder to locate early on.

I felt movement at about 14 weeks and the doppler I started using about 22 weeks...
