Feb mom & fetal movement

I'm a ftm due in February. I've read a lot of posts of women who start to feel fetal movement around 20-22 weeks, but am I the only one who feels everything? I've been able r feel my baby's movement since ~16 weeks and now it's starting to get really uncomfortable. I'm 22 weeks pregnant, 5'5 and currently weigh 134lbs (prepregancy weight was 124lbs). My baby was measuring a week ahead but man he still has so much growing to do. How can I feel all of this movement already??! I don't think he is hyperactive either.

I could feel my baby super early, like at 13 weeks, I had 2 d&cs 2 years ago and I think they made my uterus more sensitive to the movements.

I started feeling mine around 15 weeks. He goes insane now, even hurts at times. Things aren't going to be fun when it gets closer to time to deliver!

I started to him around 16 weeks I didn't feel my first son so soon and this one is very active but I like that I can feel him it lets me know that he is ok because I had a miscarriage before I got pregnant with him and he was a surprise to us

I started with flutters around 16 weeks this time around and soft kicks at 18 and now at 22+4 I feel like I'm carrying a whole soccer team!

Just got back from the doctor's. Turns out baby has LOTS of room, but he has decided to keep his whole body on the right side of my body, which is why I am so uncomfortable. He also weighs more than a pound already :). The u/s tech said because he is keeping to one side it's likely my uterus is putting more pressure on that side and may be laying on a nerve. I'm just happy that he is okay, has lots of room and has more than enough amniotic fluid.

Same here, I started feeling baby mid 16 weeks but didn't realize for sure until about 17. Then at 18 I had an ultrasound and he measured a week bigger than he should be. It's all completely normal!

I started feeling movement at 14 weeks, its my 3rd baby. He moves ALOT, way more than I remember his big sister and brother moving....The doctor said he is going to be bigger than my first 2 so I think that's why and I'm also not very big either...I'm 5"4 138 lbs (110 pre-pregnancy)....I'm 23 weeks

I'm the same as you! I felt him around 16 weeks and now its all the time. I can see him actually moving across my belly. I got a video last night :) he moves so darn much sometimes and he also sits so low that he kicks nerves in my cervix and it doesn't feel good at all! Ill be 22 weeks tomorrow btw
