Just curious

I am going to be 15 weeks tomorrow and this is my third pregnancy.  I can't feel anything in my tummy yet and I am rather paranoid so I was wondering- is anyone able to feel the baby yet?  I feel like this being my third, I should be able to feel the baby since I know what to look for.  I don't know- just my paranoia kicking in.

Don't go crazy!  Like I said, the official time you're supposed to feel it is at 18 weeks, I would worry till then.  (Easier said than done, I know)
Also, my husband puts his hands on my belly and says he feel the baby kicking.  I'm like "If you could feel it, I would feel it".  He's like "Well I feel it, so I don't know what's up with you".  We're really playful about it.  I tell him he must be feeling gas or my fat jiggling, lol.
Point being "feeling" movement is subjective. :)

I don't remember when I felt my other two, although I think at least the second one, I could feel earlier.  I could be making that up though because I cannot remember at all and she just turned 2! Bad memory.  Yeah, but when I lay flat on my stomach, there are harder lumps, I guess would be a good word, that I can pretty much make flat with my hand.  If that is the babe, I don't know because I don't really feel it move even when it is flattening so I don't know. Hopefully I start to feel something soon so I don't go crazy thinking about it constantly!

I was going to ask this question here, too!  I think the "official" time we're supposed to feel anything is 18 weeks.  Although I really don't remember when I first felt my first two (they were13 and 10 years ago), I remember I started feeling big lumps in my belly that woud move.  I've been having it this time like if I lay on my left for a while, when I turn to the right I can feel something hard and the size of my fist on my left.  Every now and then I think I feel a roll, but I don't know if I do or not.  I have had some definite little twinges that are like a muscle spasm or involuntary muscle reaction right where my uterus is, that I'm pretty sure are not gas.
So I don't really know, but that's what's been going on with me.  If you google it, you get answers all across the board for when people have felt movement.

I'm wondering when I will feel something too.  When did you feel with the first two?  I felt my first around 18 weeks and my second at 15 weeks so I'm hoping soon.  I'm only 13 though.  I think you should be feeling something soon.
