In a second pregnancy, you can often feel your baby move sooner than in the first pregnancy, typically as early as 13 to 16 weeks. Many second-time moms report feeling subtle baby movements or "quickening" around 16 weeks, although some may notice these feelings even earlier or up to about 22 weeks. The movements at first may feel like flutters, butterflies, or gentle twitches and become more distinct and frequent over time.

Factors like the position of the placenta (anterior placenta can delay feeling movements) and individual differences can affect the timing. It's normal for early movements to be subtle and easy to confuse with gas or muscle spasms. By the end of the second trimester, kicks and movements tend to be stronger and more regular.
