Earliest Fetal Movement ?
Posted: 05-20-07 21:22pm

So, I *think* I might be pregnant again.. I've taken 3 pregnancy tests now, & they'll all turned up negative. My doctor told me to wait 2 more weeks, & take another one. After already having one baby in 2005, & having a miscarriage at 12 weeks in 2004... I swear I feel movement. But I'd only be 8ish weeks, if I am. So when is the very earliest that you can feel movement from the baby (2nd pregnancy)?? I just feel pregnant! Very

What you are feeling is gas. You cannot feel fetal movements at 8 weeks. A fetus is so small, you wouldn't feel anything.

At 8 weeks, a pregnancy test should show positive if you are pregnant. And why won't your doctor just do a blood test? That would be definitive.

It is way too early to be feeling movements. You wouldn't feel movements until 13-16 weeks maybe.

You should get a blood test done if you are concerned you may be pregnant and the home test is not detecting it. Try another doctor. Also, did you miss your period? or did you still have your last 2 periods? It's rare to have what you assume to be a period and still be pregnant.
