Feeling the baby kick

This is my 3rd pregnancy in a short period of time.. and Im 19 weeks gone. And night I was lying on my back in bed and my hands on my tummy and I felt the baby kick thru my tummy. Well Im pretty sure I did, it happened 3 times and I couldnt feel it again after that. I thought 19 weeks was too early? Has anyone else had early kicking? Is this normal? I didnt feel my daughter externally til I was 22 weeks and my son around the same time. I know things happen sooner with each pregnancy but I didnt think it would be already!

I am twenty weeks with my first and I have been feeling flutters since 16 weeks and been feeling distinct kicks inside since 18.....can't really feel them outside yet, but it kicks so randomly I never have the chance to feel on the outside......I think it all depends on the way you are and how much you weigh. I am pretty small, so my ultrasound tech was shocked that I couldn't feel anything at 14 weeks, so I think it really depends on how active your baby is and what size you are and how the baby is positioned.

I was able to feel movement at 15 weeks. Since this is my 2nd I knew what the feeling was when I felt it. With my 1st I felt her at about the same time but was told by co-workers that it was impossible. You know your body and what is normal for you. If you felt something from the outside like a tap, it was most likely your baby. If you are a thin person you are more likely to feel the baby sooner from the outside than a larger person like me. I was not able to feel my baby from the outside until just recently at 22 weeks

im pregnant with my 3rd and my first i didnt feel till i was 22 weeks. my second was at 18 weeks but this one i felt at 10 weeks so it really varies. i think 10 weeks is quite early but it means that its very likely it was your baby kicking xx

yea I have been feeling 'flutters' for at least 5 weeks now, but this was a soft kick I could feel outside my tummy. At first I thought it was just a muscle spasm but it moved a bit then went back to the same spot.

you can feel it as early as 14 or 16 weeks I thought, but that is the fluttering or quickening tho I have herd. I think that it is possible, I mean its your body and your baby and the connection that you both have. So yea, I think you felt your baby =-)

I know more than one mother that has felt movement at 14 weeks.
