9 weeks...Can I be feeling baby flutters already?!!

Mommaleena

Hello Everyone!

So for a couple of days now I've felt funny little flutters & tiny thumps just above my pelvic bone. I'm only 9 weeks! Yes, unfortunately I KNOW what gas feels like, lol! This is very different. Have any of you ladies experienced this so early?!! If it's not baby that I'm feeling, what else could it be? Btw, this is my second baby. First was born 16.5 years ago.  

AndreaKae27

I highly doubt it. Imm 11 weeks and my babe is 1 1/2 inches. You wont start to feel that for a while.

mtrhomegirl

I'm assuming it is gas.....I am 17 weeks and now just feeling flutters and this is my second.

WashingtonQueen

You are not feeling your baby. Sorry, you are just not.

TeacherVicky

No.

PrimRoseMama

Too early. It's gas.

blushingbride_08

I was just going to post this also. And I'm only 7 weeks. And this isn't my 1st so I know what movement in their feels like. I don't think it's gas either. It feels like stuff is def going on in there. I also feel a tugging feeling too. I do have a large fibroid and they moved around quite a bit my last preg. Maybe it's that.

WashingtonQueen

::Cue massive freak out by OP::

 "You don't know my lyfe!!!"

Manateearmz

LOLZ.....no.

momof2buggs

Yes. It could be the baby. The only time I felt movement that early was when I was pregnant with my twins. Most women say no, but I was always so acutely aware of what was going on with my body, so I have no doubt that I was feeling my babies, and I'd be willing to bet that you are, too.

Thanks to momof2buggs, OP is all like.




Your chances are as good as Lloyd's OP.

^^^What's sad is all this bullying from a future mother!! You should be ashamed and I pray for your poor children!

On another note - I'm twelve weeks with my first and I felt baby for the first time a few days ago. I'm 90% sure. Either way, I agree that we are all aware of our own bodies (just like you "know" you're pregnant before HPT or you "know" the gender before your US).

Manateearmz

@itsbethloveyo You can go ahead and feel sorry for my kid, she has been dealing with me for 2 1/2 years. You should REALLY feel sorry for my husband.

@Itsbethloveyo, you should look up the definition of bullying because there has been no bullying here. Keep false flagging all you want, you will just get banned. And don't pray for my children, it's not needed here.

laurmar21

With my first baby, I felt them first around 20 weeks... with my second at 17 weeks.  9 weeks would be really early.  Sometimes gas bubbles feel very similar to those flutters. Honestly... I was laying in bed the other night and felt "flutters"... but there is no way it's baby yet... but it can feel very similar.

Oh please...this is not bullying. Stop abusing the flag button.

Seriously people?!! My God, we join these forums for support from other mothers-to-be & I think it's utterly disgusting how some can make ya feel so bloody stupid for asking a simple question. 

Man, I really didn't think that I would have to explain the reason behind my silly question but now that I feel so feffin STUPID for posting in the 1st place, here it is... 

Okay, so I'm a little nervous this pregnancy & have been scrambling at any teeny tiny bit of reassurance that my baby is still with me. 5 months ago I suffered a missed miscarriage at 7 weeks. Went in for my first ultrasound at 9wks only to be told that I had lost it 2 weeks earlier. They called it a missed miscarriage. Can you just try to imagine how it feels to wake up one morning feeling so utterly excited to see your babies HB for the very first time only to have to walk out of that office feeling utterly helpless & brokenhearted? After that awful day I waited another 2 friggen weeks for my body to reject the pregnancy but nothing. No cramping, bleeding, no symptoms that I had lost that precious little life PERIOD. I eventually had to go in for a D&C. So this pregnancy I'm extremely on edge and just can't get excited for the life of me & I'm always looking for any little bit of reassurance that everything is ok. I'm worried sick all of the time & it effin SUCKS. 

So to those who posted your snarky little know-it-all remarks against myself as well as another member.. It's shameful and I'm a little disturbed at how immature some of you actually are. Seriously, what's wrong with you? There's really no need to be so damn insulting. I'm actually contemplating leaving this forum because of this ridiculous BS. To those who posted a reply with respect & class.. Thank you. Your time is much appreciated & best of luck to you all in your journey to motherhood!!

Oh please. GTFO. This is not bullying. Hey, who needs all this factual biology bull when you can blow sunshine up OP's skirt? You can keep the prayers for your own offspring. They will need them because their mother is allergic to reality. Kthnxbai.

:-w :-h :-@

sunflowermama42212

I'm sorry you went through a miscarriage but if you research a fetus at 9 weeks it is impossible to feel it. People aren't going to lie to you. If you had posted about your miscarriage and asked for support you would have gotten it but asking for people to lie to you about what your baby is doing isn't going to happen. The baby is an inch big and just formed leg buds so how can it kick? See what People are saying?

Not asking them to lie at all. Please read my question. It included "Have any of you ladies experienced this so early?!! If it's not baby that I'm feeling, what else could it be?" See...not asking people to BS an answer at all. And believe me, I've researched my ass off. This is all I do! I just happened to come across this site after googling possible movement at 9wks. https://www.babycenter.com/400_i-am-9-weeks-and-felt-the-baby-move-is-that-possible_1480297_191.bc?sortFieldName= Countless women writing about what I have been experiencing. So I just decided to post in this forum to see what everyone else had to say. Wow, I certainly didn't expect any attacks on anyone!

I feel like if you really researched it you could have answered your own question with no it's not your baby and it's just gas.

"Seriously people?!! My God, we join these forums for support from other mothers-to-be.I think it's utterly disgusting how some can make ya feel so bloody stupid for asking a simple question."

-----------
We can't make you feel stupid without your permission. You asked a question. It's immature & unreasonable to get upset when posters give you real answers. Simmer down.

I joined this forum for entertainment. It's quite presumptuous & self-centered to believe that creating a screen name entitled you to support. We are strangers. Also, being pregnant is not a requirement.

"Can you just try to imagine how it feels to wake up one morning feeling so utterly excited to see your babies HB for the very first time only to have to walk out of that office feeling utterly helpless & brokenhearted?"

I don't have to imagine. I've experienced miscarriage too. I'm sorry for your loss. That does not change the simple, concrete, & biological fact that it is not possible to feel baby kicking you at this stage. No amount of sweet words makes this true. The only thing you can do is keep your fingers crossed. Make believing that you are feeling baby kicks is not reassurance. It's delusional. You are not doing yourself any favors. Trust me.

"So to those who posted your snarky little know-it-all remarks against myself as well as another member.. It's shameful and I'm a little disturbed at how immature some of you actually are. Seriously, what's wrong with you? There's really no need to be so damn insulting. I'm actually contemplating leaving this forum because of this ridiculous BS.

Serious question: how is it immature or disturbing to answer your question with accurate, biologically factual information? In fact, it's more immature and unhelpful to "play nice" and just tell you what you want to hear.

Wouldn't you rather people be honest with you? If we tell you it's baby, and Heaven forbid, you show up to your first appointment to hear horrible news (blighted ovum, no heartbeat etc) won't you feel cheated that we gave you false hope?

No one can know what's going on in your uterus save for the facts given to us by knowledgeable folks like Mayo Clinic. All the appropriate medical documentation says that it's simply too early. Just because you don't like the answer doesn't mean we are in the wrong.

If you don't like it here then you can leave. It sounds like this community is not really a good fit for you. You are too sensitive & too opposed to hearing upfront, fact-based advice. Baby gaga & baby center will give you all the rainbows/sunshine & hand-holding you apparently need to function.

Folks here tell it like it is. The truth is not always what you like to hear. Grow up & deal with it.

Mommaleena

Yes! Of course I answered my own question while researching, lol! But like I said, I came across that site with many MANY women experiencing the same thing. Just looking for any other explanations & similar experiences THAT'S ALL. No biggie. Convo over. I'm satisfied with your answers. Thanks!! LOLOL

WashingtonQueen

Look, OP, I am sorry for your loss. Realize that you are not the only person here that has experienced a miscarriage.

This forum is made up of a group of very blunt, straight forward and factual women. We won't blow smoke up your butt, pat you on the head and say, "Yes, dear, I'm sure that is the baby you are feeling at 9 weeks pregnant. The baby is only the size of an olive, but you have magical powers that make it so you can feel it before any other person on the planet." It's just not going to happen that way. We tell you the facts, no you do not feel the baby.

As far as me calling the freak out, it is pretty normal for a woman to come along and tell us that she is showing or feeling the baby before it is possible and then having a meltdown when she is told it's not possible. You proved me right unfortunately.

Well said.  I've come to the conclusion that the ones that feel the need to beat everyone else down... they are very unhappy people in general.  Why else would they feel the need to stoop so low and act as if they are in middle school?  There is an actual snarky board for people that feel the need to act immature.... so seriously... go there if you have the need to pick fights.  The rest of us aren't interested.

This assertion is laughable. My life is incredibly blessed with health, wealth & happiness. My activity on a message board is only a tiny fraction of my life. It does not represent me as a person. It's sad that you think this. I might come across as a snarky bitch, but ask the online friends I've made during my time here. I am straight forward, but also one of the most friendly. Y advice is usually sound.

I don't tolerate inaccurate bullshit & I also have little patience for people who insist on blowing sunshine for the sake of "being nice". That doesn't make me an "unhappy person". It means I don't tolerate BS. If you want to be coddled go to your mother.

You are a stranger to me. I'm not required to be nice to you if you spew uneducated shit. You can whine all you want. That won't change my behavior. It just justifies my contempt for your immaturity. That, & it's entertaining to watch you finger wag at me like you are my mother.

"There is an actual snarky board for people that feel the need to act immature.... so seriously... go there if you have the need to pick fights. The rest of us aren't interested."

Pssssst sweetie, that's Snarky & Trouble TTC. Not everyone who frequents this board is TTC. I am TTA for now. There is such a wide variety of personalities & life situations going on in these forums. Open your mind.

So not only do you appear to be whiny & maladjusted, but you appear to be lacking in awareness that this site spans everything from pregnancy, parenting, child free not by choice & infertility.

Please don't try to police the boards. It's a public forum & you don't get to tell people where they can post. If you don't like it then you are welcome to log out.

Peace.

Telling the truth and having a sense of humor makes you think I'm unhappy?

Oh. Funny because those two things are some of the biggest reasons for my happiness.

But please, by all means continue to make yourself feel better by thinking I'm wallowing in sorrow.

Mommaleena

No. Baby Center is absolutely NOT my research source. I'm sorry, did I say it was? 

O-N-C-E A-G-A-I-N, I just came across the freakin page is all. It was interesting to read about their experiences -- gas or not. Ya ya, I get that the page if full of mom's-to-be who THINK they felt their baby move. I just wanted to see what anybody had to say on here. That is all! 

I wasn't looking for people to LIE about what may actually be going on with me either. The reason why I got so upset is because there were a couple of people who actually seemed to laugh at me and another member for talking about this in the first place, not because they were saying "NO, it's not baby your feeling, you're just full of gas!" It felt like people were starting to go out of their way to make me feel like an idiot. I'm sorry but some of the comments were unnecessary & it was embarrassing. What can I say...GOD AWFUL PREGNANCY HORMONES!! I'm brand new to this forum & was only hoping to make a few friends. 

In my first question I had asked * * * "HAVE ANY OF YOU LADIES EXPERIENCED THIS SO EARLY?!! IF IT'S NOT BABY THAT I'M FEELING, WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE?" * * * Please, for the love of GOD just read the effing question already & please stop accusing me of asking ya'll to blow smoke up my arse. Definitely wasn't my intention at all! I'm definitely not asking to be coddled either. I apologize for not explaining myself properly in the first place, getting fired up from embarrassment & posting what I did. You've all obviously gotten the wrong impression of me.

When DH and I were discussing it, I could feel my eggs hi-fiving each other in my ovaries!

Has anyone else had this happen to them before?  Does it mean that I will get pregnant right away?

You're fxxkin hilarious!

No. I'm sorry there is just no way. Do some research and you will be able to figure out why.
