Hi, I doubt it as at 8 weeks (LMP) the baby is only just developing limb buds so it is only able to 'bob' about a bit..and is tiny (talking mm's) ..You can have heightened sense of gas and other stuff though as the body becomes more sluggish with gastric emptying (getting rid of stomach contents).

Soon enough you will feel your baby! I felt my first around 15 weeks as a flutter...Many women with first babies feel movement 18-20 weeks, subsequent babies sooner as I guess you know what you are looking for..

Best wishes,
