Early baby movements

[smock]

I think I might be feeling the little worm moving--I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow. It feels like little flutters or a quick internal muscle twitch.

But I've only felt it on one side. It's the side where baby's head has been in our u/s. Is it possible to only feel movement on one side? Or more likely that it's still early and maybe just gas?

Yep! That sounds like the early movement. Exciting!

I only felt him on the right for the longest time.

Congrats! It's a fun time!

I only felt him on one side for a long time. It's probably the baby

[browneyedgirl9]

Yay! Sounds like first movements!

[shelbyann]

Yay for baby flutters!

I almost always feel mine on one side too. In fact her little feet (or maybe knees?) are poking against my right side as I type.

I only felt movement in one spot for a very long time. Even now, at 33wks, I'm most likely to feel movement on my upper right side. My "rule" for deciding if it's the baby or gas is, if nothing, um, productive happens within a few minutes, it must be the baby Sounds like you're feeling the baby!

Yay I'm so excited! What a fun (early) Christmas present!

[speckledfrog]

That definitely sounds like movement. Yay!

[Yankees21]

Sounds like movement, so exciting!

Agreed, that's likely movement! Baby wanted to give you an awesome Christmas present!

[VillainV]

Sounds like baby movement to me :-)

I can't wait to get definitive movements. Right now, I feel random cramp-y feelings every once in a while, but they feel about the same (just shorter in duration) than the cramps I got a lot during the first trimester. I'll be 17 weeks on Thursday. I hope I feel movement in the next month or so.

I would always feel mine on my right side, it started right around 17 weeks too.
