Tell me about feeling movement at first

[Bernadine]

What did you think it felt like?  Was it just one little feeling, or several movements in a row?

I think maybe I felt something?  It kind of felt like a gas bubble, but not quite.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

LOLOLOLOL

I think you're feeling it. It's a little fluttery bubbly feeling at first.

[underwaterrhymes]

At first it felt like someone was gently tapping their fingers inside my abdomen.

It got a lot more forceful by the end. LOL.

[speckledfrog]

That's probably it! It felt like little bubbles at first.

[whitemerlot]

Like a tiny butterfly.

[cinderbella]

It felt like brewing gas but there was no end product. Just internal bubbles.

[cbwm1]

At first I got a taptaptap on one side. And then I felt little flutters that felt like gas bubbles.

Every once in awhile now I'll have a gas bubble and be like "omg am I pregnant?!?" lol

Lol, I thought at first it was gas, but then I didn't fart, so I thought maybe this was it.

[Monica Geller]

It felt like an eye twitch only in my belly area.

ETA: I was about 15 weeks

[iamgrace]

Flicker, buzzing, little flips.

[iamgrace]

Oh, and , squeee!

[DarcyLongfellow]

Like gas bubbles at first.

A bit later, it felt like a tiny goldfish swimming around in there. It didn't feel like actual kicks for a while. Then at the end it feels like a huge baby rolling around, pissed off that she's squeezed into a tiny space the size of a balloon.

[lilafowler]

It was a very slight bubbly/tickle-like feeling. All in one spot at first (which we found at an ultrasound was where she liked to chill.

[pirate]

I never felt flutters like everyone describes early on, to me it feels more like a tapping, or a muscle twitch. Most of the time I feel a few movements in a row only if I'm being quiet and concentrating on it, otherwise I tend to just feel an isolated movement here and there.

At 23 weeks she's still small enough that it's cute and exciting. everyone tells me that soon she'll be kicking my ribs and I won't think it's so much fun, lol.

Tap-tap-tap-tap

At first I could only feel it when I was kind of hunched over sitting, and I wasn't sure if that's what it was. But as the weeks went on, it just got stronger and stronger in that one spot.

I can't see how many weeks you are on mobile, but I started feeling it near the end of my 13th week, I think, so super early.

I'm 17 1/2 weeks.  So I know I'll feel it for sure soon!

[cheeseandcrackers]

I think you felt it.
To me.. I felt little taps around 20 weeks. Kind of like a gas bubble like you described.

[Cricket0619]

I think I felt it around 16/17 weeks. I told people it felt like a goldfish running into a fish tank

That was the same time I first felt something I later realized was movement. It took a good week before I felt it again, and then it was more regular.

I'm excited for you!

[missbella]

With my first I was 16 weeks and would feel the gas bubble feeling. It took me about a week to realize it was always n the same spot and wasn't gas. At 18 weeks I felt the first for real kick and I never had any peace again. Lol.

This time, I think I felt her starting around 12ish weeks but it was just a general weird sensation. I felt real kicks at 16 weeks. I will be 21 weeks tomorrow and the past couple of days she has really ramped it up and DH was finally able to feel her.

Congratulations! It's definitely the coolest part of pregnancy!

I'll bet you're feeling her. I felt DS right around that time. Wait til your belly starts moving when the baby changes positions. It's amazing!

That's exactly how it felt. Or maybe closer to someone dragging their fingertips on the inside of my stomach.

When I was about 21 weeks, I realized the "gas" I was feeling was actually her. Lol.

[Elsa]

With M I didn't feel anything till late. Like 24-25 weeks I think. I never felt flutters. One day I just sat down and got jabbed in the side. I started bawling, it was so freaking cool.

This time I'm trying really hard to pay attention. I want to feel the flutters that everyone talks about!!!

I have an embarrassing number of videos of my giant pregnant belly just bouncing around. lol

I truly was freaked out by the idea of it before I got pregnant. It was absolutely the best thing about pregnancy (which didn't have many redeeming qualities for me).

You and I have the same due date.  I've started feeling the exact same thing within the last day or two.  Last time, I was 18 weeks before I felt anything.  It's so cool...enjoy it!  Congrats again!

Same for me. I was reading Harry Potter and had the book on my belly. It was either coincidence or he didn't like the weight, but it felt like little taps in that same spot.

Didn't realize what it was right away.

[cabbagecabbage]

It felt like a goldfish swimming around. I first felt it at 19 weeks last time.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

It will be a lot of fun to piss her off by putting things on your belly.

I used mine as a shelf for DD coolattas, and it always drove them crazy and they'd squirm away. The cat would come try to snuggle me, and lay on top and start purring, and they'd have a kick attack and the cat would freak the fuck OUT. Comedy gold.

Rak--eeeeeeek!
