Q: Feeling quicken already?!

This is our 4th pregnancy and I swear I'm feeling little futters/movement. I am 8wks4days (9th week pregnant).

I would have said gas but you can see twitching. Its not constant and I don't notice it often.

I am quite tiny, 114lbs (estimate). And I know they say after multiple pregnancies it can be felt sooner..

Any thoughts or opinions?

I thought the same thing at 8 weeks, however now that I'm actually feeling unmistakable movement, I realize that what I was feeling before was likely gas or organ shifting as my uterus was growing. As for the twitching, is it in sync with your heartbeat? I have that as well and I think it's due to the increase in blood volume.

I agree with the previous poster, it's a bit too early for that...esp if ur seeing twitches. There's a lot that goes on down there, over and above ur reproductive organs, I really doubt ur feeling and seeing baby at this point, regardless of weight.
Sorry, prob not what u wanna hear.

your baby is only 3/4 of an inch. I would be shocked if it was really the baby that you are feeling. It might just be your uterus moving and stretching. Baby still looks like a grape. But it will happen sooner - probably around 16 weeks.
