Anybody feeling baby yet

So, I'll be 15 weeks on Monday and I've started feeling my little one move for sure.  I know it's not gas or my bowels.  This is so exciting.  And I have 12 days until we find out the sex of the baby!  They have to do an ultrasound at 16 weeks to check my cervix as I've had two LEEP's done in the past, but we'll find out the sex then too!

I'm sure it's the baby I'm feeling, this is my third.  And I'm excited about my ultrasound next Wednesday, I found out with my son at 16 weeks and you could definitely tell he was a boy!

I have been feeling some sudden movements too.  I am on my 17th week according to online calendars.  Due March 11.  It's funny that I can feel it like there are bubbles or something poking me from within just below my belly button.  I felt it first at 15weeks and still feeling it.  There are days that I don't feel it move even once but an inhome doppler calms me down.  I would listen to the heartbeat whenever I did not feel the baby move in a day.  I am feeling super tired today and not sure what to feel even though I am eating lots and sleeping tons in the night too.  I work in an office and its not helping me stay awake.  Thank God for internet and medhelp I somehow manage to keep myself awake for a bit

I'm 18 wk 1 day, but measuring 19 wks.. and I've just now started feeling movement the past couple of days.. Lil' thumps in my lower abdomen under my belly button. I only feel it once in awhile, and I have to be sitting in order to feel it.. I can't wait till it's consistent.

Yes, I have been feeling movement this week! I'll be 15 weeks on Thursday and this started at the beginning of this week. Now it's no elbows and knees like I felt w/ my son at 16 wks. But there's definately some swimmimg going on in there! When I was pregnant w/my son and I first felt the movements, other people could feel them too, they were strong. But this time I know more of what to look for I guess and can feel them earlier.

I started feeling like there was a little fish moving randomly at around 14 weeks. I will be 18 weeks in two days.  (I have not had a baby before... asked my doc though at my appt. and she said that was the baby!)  But, for the past week (or since last weekend) I haven't felt anything!  I think that this is part of my paranoia too!  I just have to keep reminding myself that you really won't feel consistent movement until at least 20 weeks.  

Lachises... your roller coaster feeling is exactly what I felt during my 14th week.  It is pretty cool!

We will be finding out the sex next Friday at our 18 week ultrasound.  So excited :)

I'll be 15 weeks tomorrow and I was having a "like I'm on a roller coaster" feeling but I haven't felt it in a few days.  In the back of my mind I'm hoping nothing is wrong but in the front of my mind I'm thinking that it's too early to feel much of anything.  I'm on the heavier side and from what I've read if you're skinny you'll feel the baby sooner then someone who is heavier.  It also says that if you've had a baby before you feel it sooner because you know what you're feeling more.  Good luck at your u/s.  I won't find out the sex until the end of October.

sometimes - but then again I am not sure if it is a stretch cramp that lasts a second or a muscle twitch - or even a gassy pain. Although on my plane ride last night I could have sworn there was some action going on in there.

I have my 16 week next Thurs - we can maybe find out the sex, but I think we will wait until week 20 to be absolutely sure b/c 16 weeks teeters on being too soon w. more inaccurate findings.

I have been feeling some stuff lately for about the past week. I get these popcorn type thumps. They don't seem to happen consistently, maybe one to three times a day. They are neat though. I presume what I am feeling are movements which keeps my mind at ease till my next visit when I can hear the heart beat again.

Keep us posted on what you are having...how exciting. :)
