When LO is moving...

LuvBeingMrsH · March 2010

How does it feel? I know I probably won't be feeling it for a couple of weeks but I would like to know what you guys felt and pay attention

I went to the Dr yesterday and he told me I could be feeling it anytime now... So I was thinking this morning about it.

When I first felt it I was 16w..It felt like little bubbles..like hunger grumbles.. but I knew it wasnt since I would have previously eaten etc.. I wasnt sure at first but after a while I just knew.. Since then the kicks and such came around or close to 20w dont remember exactly.. It also felt like a worm was in there also..like a rubbing? before I felt actual kicks..

I would feel little "flutters" every now and then. Almost like it could be confused with having air in your stomach or gas... then around 20/21 weeks it finally became obvious that it was the baby.

I felt my first little bit of movement around 16 weeks. It felt like a little tap tap from the inside. At first it was hard to tell if it were baby or gas, but then the taps turned into stronger flickers. Now, at 26 weeks, there are some full fledged ninja kicks! My whole belly was moving earlier.

The best way I can describe it is to say that it feels like someone took a tiny bag of popcorn and started popping it in my uterus.

Mine started at about 15 weeks with a scraping-like feeling from the inside. It progressively got stronger and around 18 weeks, I started to feel something like a bag of popcorn popping in my belly. Now it's a mix between jabs and kicks (like the popcorn), goldfish swimming (when she's rotating and moving), and like how you feel when you go over a big hill in a car (rotating and moving).

Sorry those descriptions are so stupid--it's the best way I can describe it.

These are exactly how I would describe it. The roller coaster/driving on a hill feeling was the most surprising to me.

I feel like someone is softly flicking me from the inside. For me, one day I "thought" I might have felt something then two days later it was undeniable and pretty disctinct and has been getting more frequent ever since. Most of the time is hard to distinguish what the movement is, but sometimes it's a definite jab.

I haven't felt actual kicks but this would be the best way to discribe what i'm feeling. and it only lasts for a few seconds at a time.

I'm still waiting to feel LO. The PA told me at my appointment yesterday that it could be another couple of weeks.

Gold fish swimming, tapping, and rolling.

Exactly this.

Also, what I thought were "flutters" ended up to be kicks! I realized this when I saw one on the outside of my stomach around 17 weeks. SO felt & saw a kick for the first time at 19 weeks.

You're getting close!

to me it feels like if you lightly flick your stomach
