8 weeks?? I don't think they're even considered a fetus yet. I think that happens at 11/12 weeks. I don't think your angel is any bigger than a sesame seed so I doubt the baby is what you're feeling. Granted that this is your 3rd child...I still think it's waaay to early to feel it!!

Good luck!

8 weeks fetus---your baby is now 5/8 of an inch long, about the size of a kidney bean. she's constantly moving and shifting,


yes they are moving but very few women will feel them moving this early. I guess if the baby is laying really close to the edge of the uterus it is possible to feel the movement though. I dont see why not!!

the baby is a little bigger than a grain of rice. Nobody would feel that. It's most likely gas. They say 13-14 weeks is pretty early to start feeling things.
