If you have felt your baby moving around 16-17 weeks...

love_melongtime · May 2011

Did it ever feel like a light 'flick' feeling against the wall of your uterus? I keep having this feeling, multiple times a day (especially when I drink ice cold water) but everyone describes movement feeling like a fish flopping or bubbles or fluttering. This is like an actual flick feeling and i'm just wondering if this is normal baby movement, or just a muscle twitch or something. Thanks!

I never had flutters or bubbles. It was straight up pokes or flicks!

Yep, I had flicks along with my flutters. Now I get more (and stronger) flicks.

Yay! Ok thanks for the responses ladies. I thought I felt a couple flutters around 14.5 weeks, but since then it is ALL flick and poke feeling. So happy to be reassured that it's my little dude and not a muscle spasm

I too never had the flutters or bubbles feeling. I felt flicks around 15 weeks, only once though, it felt like a muscle spasm. But yesterday they were definite kicks, but to me felt like strong flicks since the baby is so small. One was a little stronger than the other. The cold water could definitely cause your LO to kick.

Sounds like baby to me!

I have felt pokes, still nothing regular but the ones I felt were definitely baby!

I would describe it as being poked... and the flick feeling you experience is probably it!

Last week (16 weeks) I felt flutters). Just today (17 w 4 days) I noticed more flick type movement. I was just starting to worry that it wasn't normal. So thanks for posting this.

I started feeling the baby around 17 weeks and it was like a tap in my lower abdomen. It was very distinct and has since progressed into stronger taps and thumps. Smile

This! I was never good at telling what was a flutter and what was gas! It was only when he started kicking and poking that I could definitely say it was him!

Mine have definitely felt like flicks or maybe popping popcorn is a good example. Every once in a while it feels kind of like a bubble.

Mine feels like I'm being tickled from the inside or like a bug is crawling around inside of me. I also feel rolls (a pressure change, like the baby is pushing his back against my ute for a second).

Last Wednesday I felt what felt like a very distinct poke on the inside. I'm still wondering if it was the baby because it was SO fast and hasn't happened since then.

If yours is happening often, then I'd say it is probably the baby.

Feels like fish to me.

I've been feeling some light tapping and what sort of feels like when your eyelid twitches lol. I feel some sort of fluttering/bubbling sometimes too though.

This is exactly how I've been describing it to people!! Starting to get stronger now, though Big Smile

Same here it has always been pokes. Last night I felt it STRONG, like I 2nd guessed if it was really baby but what else would it be? Maybe gas.... then last night, low in my abdomen ?I felt my fluttering for the first time.?
