Did I just feel a kick?

I haven't felt baby move yet, but I was just laying in bed minding my own business and I felt a little "pop" right in the front.  I have been having all of the lovely gas bubbles and tummy rumbles and pains that come along with pregnancy, but this felt a little different!  What did your first kick feel like?

Re: Did I just feel a kick?

  • I'm not sure but I'm sitting here wondering if I'm feeling my LO too. I mean it doesn't feel like flutters, but I think "popping" is a good description. But seriously if this is the baby she's going nuts!!!

    This. I never felt "butterflies" or "goldfish" but more like a twitching muscle feeling.


  • I didn't feel a 'flutter' either. It felt more like a buzzing, actually. haha A vibration. So odd! And a week later he started kicking like crazy. He now kicks the hardest every day when daddy gets home from work and he hears his voice. :)

  • I would say the kicks feel like pops. I can actually put my hand on my abdomen and feel them. I also notice them around the same spot.
  • they are still probably pretty low below your waistline and most people think it feels like a little twitch or something twisting inside.  Usually you'll have to be holding completely still to notice anything! 
  • I felt a few flutters at first but lately it's been a pop.  I'm glad someone said the muscle twitch thing because I had that 2-3 days in a row before the popping started and thought I was nuts, it wasn't a muscle but felt that same way.  Oh and LO is SUCH a stinker because as soon as I go to put my hand there whether he's kicked once or a bunch of times he suddenly stops so I haven't felt it with my hand yet.  I think the slight change in my position changes my ability to feel him kick or he just doesn't want to after I move.  I can't wait for it to be more regular and powerful (until it's my bladder or ribs he's playing soccer with, then we'll see...) and DH can feel it.  Oh and as pp said it's when I'm lying down relaxing.
