Yeah, it's normal. It wouldn't be anything really HARD, or enough to move your hand off your belly, or hurt, or anything like that. But you could probably decipher a particular movement now and then at your point of pregnancy. It's nothing to be alarmed about!! Really.
And, it totally normal to show a lot by now since this is your third pregnancy. Your muscles and tendons are all stretched, and have lost the plasticity from the first two pregnancies, so everything is going to "go south" quicker than before. A wonderful side-effect from pregnancy! But, again, NOTHING to worry about!
Enjoy the movements of your little one - it's a great sign of good health!
Good luck!

It's normal to feel your baby move earlier than your first pregnancy because first time moms don't know what they're feeling. It is also true that some mothers tend to show faster after their first pregnancy. I know exactly what you mean about feeling your baby sitting very low. I have come to realize that if you eat something or relax for a little while, the baby tends to move out of that position. It just depends on the size of the baby as well as the position of the baby and that is probably what you're feeling. I wouldn't worry about it if you're not hurting or bleeding, but be sure to inform your doctor about it so that you can get a better insight.
Congrats and Good Luck

Very normal for you to be feeling movement and showing earlier. Most people start feeling movement between 16-22 weeks, but since this is not your first pregnancy it is completely normal for you to feel movement earlier. Same goes for showing, the more pregnancies you have the quicker you will show, those muscles have already been streched, therefor they strech much more easily. Good Luck! And enjoy your pregnancy! Consider yourself lucky to be feeling that movement and looking pregnant instead of just looking like you ate too much like most of us do this early...lol

I felt movement starting at 12 weeks!
I think it's totally normal. And also, since it's not your first you are more aware of how it feels, so you can identify it right away.

It is normal to feel 2nd or 3rd babies sooner because you know what you are feeling. With my son I didn't feel him until 20 weeks, but last year when I was pregnant with my daughter I felt her move at 12-13 weeks. When I had my 12 week ultra sound she was EXTREMELY active, so I wasn't suprised to feel her sooner.

Maybe because you have felt it twice before you just know what to feel for. They say first time moms dont feel it for a while because they are unsure if it is a kick, or gas. Congrats!

yes...since you have experienced pregnancy before. you will notice the movement more cause you are familar with how it feels....
baby moves at 8 weeks anyways ...we just cant feel them until..4/5/6 months.
did they confirm a single pregnancy?? maybe their wrong?
Maybe your having twins????Since your bigger than other pregnancies.
