With E, I was feeling kicks at 15 weeks. They felt like tiny little pokes or twinges in my abdomen.
This time I was expecting to feel the same thing, but at 16 weeks still hadn't felt any movement (that I was aware of). Last night I was listening to baby on the doppler and when it moved/kicked I felt this bubbly feeling low in my abdomen. I'd felt it before but thought it was gas or tummy gurgling. Apparently what I'd been feeling was baby moving around.
So, those of you that have had more than one pregnancy: did your baby movements feel the same with both kids, or were they different?
With my 1st pregnancy, which was 6years ago so I have to try really hard to remember exactly what it felt like. Well I didn't feel movement until really late and I honestly could of chalked it all up to gas. With this one I was feeling "flutters" at around 14 weeks and after a couple days of really paying attention to it I knew it wasn't gas and it feels so different then what the first one did. Kinda of like popcorn.
I had an anterior placenta with DD#1 so I am definitely feeling DD#2 much earlier and more strongly than I did with her.
(To PP: yeah, that's totally the reason. Anterior placenta = harder to feel and you won't feel as soon.)

Bump burp.
Same here. I am shocked at how big a difference there is.
