Not sure if I am feeling movement

Daisy622

Hey ladies - I will be 20W tomorrow and I am not sure if what i am feeling is movement.  For the past week or so I have noticed short muscle like twitches on the lower portion of my bump under my belly button.   I am not sure if this is movement OR if i think it is because now is about the time I should start to feel baby move.  I usually recognize it when I am sitting at my desk at work.  I couldn't define what i feel as a 'kick" and I am not really sure what that feels like....thoughts?

Sounds like movement! I started feeling mine at like 17 weeks and it was just like muscle twitches. They'll get stronger and it'll be unmistakeable. I always told DH it felt like when your eye twitches lol but it's my stomach

I agree with the PP... sounds like movement to me!  And I always used that same description--that it feels like a muscle twitch.  Over time they'll get stronger and they'll become more frequent.  Enjoy every moment of it!

It sounds like movement. You'll definitely know a kick when you feel it, though.

Definitely sounds like what I was feeling too   I always described it as muscle twitches, eye twitches, or small amounts of popcorn popping in my belly.

Sounds just like mine! I feel it most when I'm sitting at my desk, too. Within a week, you'll probably know for sure.

Movement! Yay! IMO it is the best part of the actual pregnancy.

Sounds like movement to me! Congrats! They will probably get stronger the further along you get and it'll get more steady too so you'll be able to recognize it.

I think "muscle twitch" is a much better way of describing it than flutters! For weeks I was convinced I wasn't feeling anything because everyone kept saying it'd feel like flutters at first, and then when I started to ignore them, I realized that what I've been feeling cannot possibly be gas and must be my baby! It feels a lot more like twitches to me, or like bubbles bursting, and they get more frequent and stronger every day. 

Congrats to you for feeling your LO too! It's so much fun to know they're in there squirming around.

I almost just posted this exact question! Glad to know maybe the little "pings" Im feeling are movements!
