Feeling baby move already?

Ok, so with my daughter (my 2nd), I felt her move at just 9 weeks (my daughter is 2 1/2 now).   This was because the placenta was in the back and pushing the baby forward, into the wall of my stomach.   The ultrasound tech even said at my first appt (at 9 weeks) that I must be feeling the baby move already and I said yep!!

So it's weird, after I had RNY, sometimes I would feel my stomach moving and churning the food, especially after breakfast.   But now I feel that and something else, for about a week now.  I am only like SEVEN WEEKS though!!   It's especially after I eat and even more so when I eat something that is a little more sugary. 

Where is the baby right now this early on, is it down just below my belly button area or is it further on down, by my pubic area?   Because I am feeling movement in both places.   It's so weird (but cool)!!! This is my 3rd pregnancy but it's been 3 years since I've been pregnant and seems so new again!

I started feeling those same things at like 7/8 weeks.  My ob looked at me and said "ok, but you know your baby is barely the size of a sunflower seed, right?"  I know it sounds strange but I was feeling something!

yeah well when it's after your first baby and you know those fluttering feelings, you recognize them again with the pregnancy (or pregnancies) after that, no matter how early on you are!  Plus YOU are having twins, so two babies in there moving around- no wonder you felt that early on!!

right now the baby is WAAAAY down in your pelvis.

no where near your belly button

I personally feel that those early "flutters" are just gas.  I thought I felt them this time too but my placenta is completely anterior and there just was no way.  I'm not you, or anyone else but for me, its gas.  

I officially felt this baby (my 3rd) around 11/12 weeks. only a few times.  then fairly regularly at 16/17 weeks.  now all the time

With my first, I didn't feel him move till like 17 weeks.   But I know for sure with my 2nd child I was feeling the baby move (at 9 weeks and not gas) because as the weeks continued on, that "feeling" remained the same throughout the pregnancy when she did move around in there.   As for right now, I have felt something down near my pelvis here and there, but I am just brushing it off as feeling it too early at 6 weeks and maybe is gas (hopefully it's not like the other lady on this thread and it's twins.... eek! LOL).
