As a first timer I'm really not sure

MOMINFEB · September 2009

I know SOME of this "rumbling" around I feel has got to be her. Can I get an explaination as to how some of the early moving feels?

I find myself unable to describe the feeling. It's odd, really. Sometimes it feels like a little tugging from the inside. Other times it is like a wave of gas rippling through my abdomen. And other times it is kind of like water is swishing around in there, like if you were to gently rock a fishbowl that is half-filled with water. There is just no single term to describe it, and until you feel it, it is really hard to explain/understand.

I'm not sure that helped any. Except that when your LO does start moving regulalry, you will just know it is him/her.

I felt like I had a beta fish in my tummy

The first week or so, I'd feel like something was squirming around (I like the beta fish reference above!). I only felt that a few times, though, and it was always really subtle. Now, I'm definitely feeling little jabs. Have you ever had a muscle in your thigh or eyelid start twitching on it's own? It feels like that to me.
