I'm pregnant with number three, and with my first two pregnancies one of the most distinctive movements I felt was the baby kicking my cervix. I just felt a little tapping on my cervix, but I'm only 13 weeks along. I've never felt anything remotely similar except for during pregnancy, but everything I read, says that you don't feel the baby move until later in pregnancy.

Congrats on your pregnancy! I felt my first baby at 15 weeks, but the OBs said I was nuts because NOBODY feels the baby (especially the first one) until18-20 weeks. My second, I felt at about 13-14 weeks, and thereafter with the next four I felt them move between 12-18 weeks. Actually, my last one was at 18 weeks, BUT we weren't sure of my dates and it turned out when she was born, that she was about 2 weeks younger in gestational age than thought. So it was really about 16 weeks.
All of the midwives I've ever seen have affirmed that I'm not crazy, that lots of women feel movement that early when they are tuned in to their bodies. And being slender can be a factor as well. Enjoy those early movements, before they start becoming uncomfy!

I felt my middle child very early, at like 10 weeks 5 days. I KNOW it was him because I would lay down and feel this tiny tapping inside, then I would use the rented doppler and check and sure enough his heartbeat would be right where I felt the movement.
It IS possible!
I remember seeing a doctor (different doctor) at 14 weeks, he was a rude old man. He asked "Have you felt the baby?" then said "Oh no, you couldn't yet" and I said "Oh yes, I have been feeling the baby move" and he told me 'there is no possible way you could feel your baby move vefore 18 weeks" so I asked him just how many times he had been pregnant and he shut up real fast. LOL
Also, at 13 weeks along your baby is JUST getting big enough to fill your uterus, so feeling him/her is certainly a possibility.
Congrats!!!

I know you might find this a little off the wall, but I felt my baby move at 9 weeks. It felt like someone was tickling me. It was very neat! I didn't expect to feel him so soon, but you know what you know. Now I am 22 weeks and he loves to go to church!!! LOL When the music starts playing my belly feels like its doing flip flops LOL
Congrats on your new blessing MOM

My midwife, fiance and I all felt my baby moving when I was 13 weeks and 5 days pregnant. It felt like popcorn popping. It was very neat.

I felt mine once at 11 weeks and then about 3 times at 13 weeks...
If you think its your baby, It IS your baby. Only you know your body.

I think I was 20 weeks before I felt my son moving. Well, before I realized that what I had been thinking was gas was actually him moving around. I think it's possible to feel it that early.
