Question for those who felt kicks early...

mavilabride · February 2009

I'm just wondering...did you feel strong kicks or little flicks.

I've been feeling little flicks over the past two days. I don't know what it is. I figured its probably just gas or something but then I remembered its not like the baby is so big that the kicks would be huge.

Am I reaching? LOL

they were definitely not strong. for me it was like a balloon was being blown up and then popped inside...way down low but not hard...i could just barely feel it popping.

definitely not strong. more like nudges or pokes than kicks.

I have been feeling them since week 13(I felt them at 13.5 weeks with DD and 15.5 weeks with DS), and they're getting stronger, but definitely not super noticable. It feels almost the same as how it feels when bubbles pop on your skin. If you're not paying attention, you might not even notice it. Often, I notice it more as an afterthought, like, "hmm. baby just moved...I think.".

There are a lot of know-it-alls who will tell you that you're probably reaching. But, they don't know exactly what your feeling. How can they? Only you know what you're experiencing and if YOU think it's movement, no one can tell you diffinitively one way or the other.

Not strong, more like flutters or popcorn kernels popping in your stomach. They were also down low, under or by the belly button region.

Thanks ladies for your input.

When you felt them, were you able to place your hand on your belly to feel? I've been trying to keep my hand on my belly to see if I feel something but I usually can't feel it. It also hasn't been happening often...just when I sit and get in a weird position.

Felt like bubbles popping to me. Really faint. Would never be able to feel it if I wasn't laying still.

Actually, I had my cell phone in my jacket pocket and felt an odd little movement that I thought was my phone vibrating. I never thought it would feel like that, but I'm to the point now where baby makes herself very well known with big strong kicks all day long - nothing like little flutters I used to feel = )

This is my fifth baby(three teenagers and one preschooler plus little girl inside me now) so i felt the baby so early that i thought I was completely nuts until my BF looked it up and everything she read about confirmed that i was feeling what i thought. For me it didn't feel like flutters or gas it felt like...something small crawling inside me and only lasted a second and very very infrequent. By the time i was eighteen weeks you could see my belly move slightly when she was moving in the front. I love feeling her move! Enjoy!!!!!!!

mavilabride:

Nope - I first felt flutters around 16 1/2 weeks and wasn't able to feel it from the outside for a month or so after that. they were so light at first. sometimes if i could feel them on the inside, i could press on my belly and feel them stronger on the inside but i definitely couldn't feel them from the outside until around 21 weeks.

At first the kicks felt like flutters and they get stronger as the baby gets bigger and you will definately know you are being kicked!

That's how mine started out. I actually haven't felt any in a while. Now I mostly just feel what I'm guessing is baby rolling over. I bet yours are baby!

Right now, it feels like little taps. It's a little stronger if I am laying on my stomach.

SPKA · February 2009

I started feeling it in week 16. But it was more like a light tapping feeling.
