Did you feel that?

IheartUSC

So for the past week and a half or so I've felt something that's like someone tapping me with their finger lightly from the inside in my lower belly. Have you felt this before? Is that the baby or gas bubbles? I feel it the most when I'm sitting down, but have felt it a a couple of times in bed. Maybe I just want to feel the baby so bad that I've turned every belly gurgle into "the baby." Thoughts?

Hi, Mom - it's probably the baby! My early kicks felt like bubbles popping, but different than gas bubbles.

mine feels more like definate rolling and pushing from the inside.

I hope for you that it's the baby!! I am still waiting to feel my little one! Every once in a while I think I do, but I'm pretty sure it's been gas   It sounds though like you are experiencing what many say is baby! Yay for you!!

I would say that would be baby.  That is how mine started out too.  It felt like tapping from the inside or like pop corn kernels popping in there.  Congrats!

It's probably the baby!

That's how mine is feeling too, and I think it's the baby. It doesn't feel like gas bubbles to me.

Me too!   Never had the popping or tapping sensations.  I thought I was too early for it (felt it at week 15), but there's no mistaken this.  Sometimes he/she moves around for 10-15 minutes and I just try to take it all in and ignore everything else around me.  I can't wait until it's more frequent.  Now it's mostly when I sit after meals.

That is how mine started too.  I was in the car the first time I felt it.  I was sooooo convinced that it wasn't the baby - too faint, too early-- that I looked it up as soon as I got home (to the IL's house..it was thanksgiving).

 

The book I had said you can feel it as early as 15 weeks, usually by 18.

It's the baby!!! It's so funny that that's how you described it b/c that's how I first described it too ...all of my friends that have gone through PG's were like "yea, like a butterfly" I was like NO, like someone tapping me from the inside.

Congrats on your kicking...soon you'll know exactally what time the baby is sleeping and what times they are awake....I swear my baby is already on a serious schedule...she starts kicking me at 9am every morning, 8pm every night and I'm too busy to keep track of the other times but she is totally awake ever morning at 9 and every night at 8.
