Feeling baby movements

With my first child I could not feel her move until very late in my pregnancy but this time around I think I may be feeling movements very early on.  How soon could i be feeling the baby move or is it just gas or internal body "things".

I felt my baby at 12 or 13 weeks, definitely the baby in little slithering movements.  (It didn't move around like intestinal gas would.)  I thought that was a bit early, but it was him, and he is my first.

With both children i felt them at 22 weeks, but like many has said everyone is different. Good Luck!

Could be, or could be gas.  I felt my first son at 16 weeks and this one right before 14 weeks, but it was very faint, and I only felt it at night when I was laying down and not distracted.  Took a few weeks before it was consistent and I could feel the little one all of the time.  By 18 weeks you could feel slight movement by putting your hand on my belly.  I wasn't showing either, but with my first, didn't show at all till 27 weeks, but you could totally feel him at that point.  I know you feel more and earlier after the first.  Congrats, if it's not your baby yet, it will be soon!

Maybe its just that you're more familiar with what things feel like now, the 2nd time around.
I doubt that you're feeling much at 12 weeks, but could be possible.

12 weeks is really early.  It's doubtful.

I thought i felt movements at ten weeks, but im pretty sure now it wasnt, i dont think it was gas but maybe a trapped nerve or something like that.  

I started feeling the baby properly at 14 weeks, which i know is early, but im 100% it was the baby, ive felt it most days since and im now nearly 18 weeks, it just keeps getting stronger. It seems i have a very active baby.

I think I am about 12 weeks but am not showing at all so just thought the baby is not big enough for me to feel it yet but I keep having the same faint "movements/feelings" that I did w/ my daughter

With my DS I didn't feel him until 22 weeks.  With this baby, I felt her around 15-16 weeks.  How far along are you?
