Kicks yet?

I *thought* I felt a small tickling feeling in my lower abdomen the other day, when DH and I were riding in the car, but haven't felt another one since then. 

Have you felt any movement yet?  When did you?

What did the baby's movements feel like?  I've heard butterflies fluttering, popcorn popping, or even gas-like feelings.  I'm anxious to feel them (but I'm sure I'll be sick of it when I'm trying to sleep and LO gets bigger).  :)

Re: Kicks yet?

  • I started feeling sporadic movement last weekend. It is not everyday yet. My movements remind me of eye twitches - like that only in my abdomen area.. It was a really awesome feeling. 
  • Last night I kept feeling the same movement in the same place every time I jiggled my leg for about 2 minutes. I have no idea if this is baby but it felt like little pokes.

    But then again, I contribute anything like that to gas so I am not really sure it was baby.

    yeah, I'm the same way.  I think I have, but not sure.

  • It was a while before I was sure that's what it was.  The best description I got, and I agree that's how it feels for me, is that feeling in your muscles after you work out where they twitch a little, but it's confined to one spot. 
  • I felt mine today!  It was the first time I was sure that that was what it was.  :)

    It is hard to describe, but I think you'll know it when you feel it.

  • I thought I felt my LO a couple of weeks ago, but the past few days I've really been able to feel it :)  You'll know for sure I think, once it becomes more than just the little flutters.  I can already feel mine moving from the outside occasionally.  I feel like it's a little early for that, but I'm sure it's him/her.

  • I'm starting to feel them more often now, but more in the morning when I wake up on my back. I did feel either a head or a butt last night poke out when I was cuddled up close to DH's side. It was for a brief second, but it was too big and blunt to be a foot or knee. It made me smile.

  • Hi missstacy - I started feeling the baby around 16 weeks, and the best way I can describe it that it's like a light tickle on your skin -- but from the inside, not the outside! Like as if you felt like you had to scratch an itch -- but then you realize you can't reach it. :)

  • I started feeling them around 15.5w (last week).  Af first, it was kind of like a muscle twitch, about 2 inches below the bellybutton.  Now it's more obviously pokes and sometimes bigger movements.

  • I just started feeling kicks a few days ago. Before that I might have been feeling the baby move....but it was hard to tell if it was the baby or gas! Now I am sure its the baby!
  • I felt baby once last week & that's it so far. It did feel like popcorn popping, just more gentle. If I hadn't been sitting perfectly still at the time I wouldn't have noticed because its was so subtle. I have a feeling it'll be a few more weeks before its more noticable or stronger. Plus, I think the lovely pregnancy symptom of gasiness disguises baby's movements sometimes =)

  • i felt it at around 14 weeks not kicks yet...just the small fluttering. I was sure this time what it was since this is my second dd. some days shes very active some days not so much. Also my placenta is in a different spot this time. with my first it was right against front of my tummy so it cushioned the movements. didnt feel my 1st move til about 20 weeks.

  • Have not felt anything yet :( thought I would by now.  I am getting impatient!!  
  • Thanks for all the stories.  So great to hear.  

    I felt a second one on our car ride home yesterday from our vacation!!  It was a tickle on my muscle--sort of, my best way to describe it.  I can't wait to feel more---I've only had two now--and am loving it!
