Can anyone else watch they're kicks?

With my first kiddo, I didn't see her moving through my stomach until probably six to eight weeks before I was due. I'm not quite 22 weeks and already watching little jumps with kicks and hiccups. Has anyone else seen it that early?

That's awesome I told my boyfriend yesterday I wanted to become a doula he told me to go for it since pregnancy and babies are something I love so much and it's all I've talked about apparently for 4 years haha.

We've decided baby doesn't want us to know so we're just going to go for it and be surprised. I'm becoming a doula. I'm not certified and I've only attended one birth besides my own but I really want to! I have two or three friends requesting me for their next time through lol.

Hahah I started showing with this one around 9 and popping around 12-13. Maybe you just have a really stubborn baby. Hopefully you find out. Have you thought of trying to 3d/4d ultrasound for the sex? I have a question your name says doula are you a doula?

I started showing with my daughter around twenty/twenty four weeks and was already showing this one at eight weeks! Now I'm twenty two weeks (just about) and we've had four ultrasounds to check gender. Two said boy, two said girl! Also, between the last two was only four days. The heartbeat went from 170 to 145 bpm. That sounds like two babies to me!
But my midwife just laughed and said she'd know if it was twins.

Haha yeah I was paranoid about twins because I was getting such a big bump so fast this time even though I know it's normal the second time around. But yeah I thought most see it on the outside around 20 weeks.

we saw our baby boy's first kick on the outside at 18w2d if I'm not mistaken? I think I made a post about it lol - I think I've seen him every day since then, but I've definitely FELT him every day since then. we could easily see him from the outside today.. A LOT.. I'm 20w5d! (((:

Ok I have made myself paranoid that it might be twins lol since we have had such awful luck trying to find out the gender.

Yes. Even with my first. The first time I felt him was around 20 weeks and I was laying in bed with my shirt up and I saw this big alien movie bump run across my tummy with a big kick at the end it was awesome. This one I started seeing it around 18 weeks my belly would just twitch when he'd move but now at 21 weeks my belly jumps but not like with my first yet.
