Really low bubbles??? Baby moving?

tammyry

I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow & I keep feeling bubbles/flutters. I'm reading that it is probably the baby moving but it's really low (under my bikini line). Is that normal? I always thought Id feel her move in my stomach??

I think it's definitely the baby! 17 weeks is a normal time to start feeling movement (that's when I started feeling it with #1). I've had the bubbles about a week now, always very low (I'm 17 weeks). That's where baby is right now!

I'm 17 weeks on Monday and the few flutters I've felt have been very low, like just above my pubic bone. My understanding is that's exactly where they should be at this point, as the top of the uterus doesn't even reach the belly button until around 20 weeks.

In at 16 weeks and well im back and forth on whether I have actually felt anything or not. I swear I felt it kick the other day. I could even see it. I was lying down on the couch and my SO and I were about to do the fetal doppler and saw something come through my stomach...Even he saw it lol but it was very very low and when I do my doppler the heart beat is way way low as well. Im a FTM and all I have to go off of is what I have seen and heard which I think is why we think it should be in our stomach because when we see pictures of pregnant woman it's always when their a lot bigger than we are at the moment and the baby is up much higher you know?

I'm almost 18 weeks and I feel it very low too. Quick movements like someone is drumming their fingers on my lower abdomen...from the inside....it's very hard to explain! :-) But I've been feeling that for a couple of weeks now.

I am 16 weeks and I have felt very random flutters a few times. Mine were also very low. Glad to see that low is normal

@drudolph11 It's highly unlikely you saw the baby move at 16 wks -- that really doesn't happen until much later! Probably just gas. You might be feeling baby by now though!

Thanks everybody!!! It's getting more and more frequent so I definetly think it's baby girl sure makes me feel better that others feel it too

I'm 16 weeks, FTM and definitely getting movement. I doubted it for the first few times, but it is becoming too consistent to not be the baby. I also have a boatload of pregnant friends who are confirming my doubts.

I finally think I've felt baby boy too! I'm 16 weeks tomorrow, and last night I felt a very light tapping sensation inside. It was low and I really just feel it was him. To make sure, I put my Doppler right where I felt it and when we turned it on..... Instant heartbeat!!! I'm so excited and I have been noticing these feelings this morning as well. It's easier to tell when I'm laying down and when my stomach isn't full of food. Otherwise there's too many other food bubbles in there to distinguish what's going on where!

Says who? It might be baby! It's been a while since I was a FTM, so I can't remember at how many weeks I felt my dd. With this one my third, I have been feeling flutters for about 3 weeks now. I'm 14w5d. And I'm for sure what it feels like. This is an exciting time for us all, the first movements of our babies!
