How early can you feel baby movement?

I was just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to feel the baby move as early as 11 weeks or am I going mad? A few times over the past few days if I have a full bladder and sit leaning forward then I can feel a sort of light flick quite low down (similar to wind bubbles, but not wind!) This is my 3rd which I think can make a difference to how early you feel movement.

Does anyone think it could be or is it just wishful thinking! I so want to stop fretting about this pregnancy and start enjoying it - roll on next friday's scan!

DS1 -18 weeks

Ds2 - 11 weeks

So yes, because you know what the flutters are.

Congratulations

Only thing to say - remember at that stage uterus is down in the pelvis so if you are feeling it in the abdomen it's not - cos baby is not there yet!

It is really low down in my pubic region and only if I have a full bladder -
I get air bubble feeling in my abdomen, but that is definitely just wind

Hello! I felt my baby 'flutter' and 'bubbles' at 17 or 18 weeks. Didn't really feel more poweful movements- kicks and shifting around until 20 weeks. Now 22 weeks- very inconsistent still. It was really low down to begin with just like you! But now it's not just low down- also occasionally a bit higher up. I find it exciting and reassuring.

First felt DD at 18 weeks, 15 weeks now with second baby and I haven't felt a thing yet.

Hi! It sounds like it could be! I'm pregnant with my first baby and I think I felt movements at 13+6, really low down on my right side. It sort of felt like a bubble rising to the surface of my skin from the inside out. I'd had wind and stuff before and it felt totally different to any other feeling that I'd previously had.

Good luck for your scan!! [smile xx
