Fetal "kicks" question

So, due to an anterior placenta, I haven't really felt the baby yet (doc said hopefully by Christmas!). I *thought* I felt it once about a month ago (early, I know) and I still think that's what I felt, I just never felt it again. Well, 2 nights ago, when I laid down with my belly pressed against my kidney bean pillow, I started feeling weird feelings like little pockets of air exploding. Baby or gas? I don't know. This morning I felt the same thing again. I'm trying to figure out if it could be the baby, so my question is this: Everyone always talks about feeling the baby kick, but do you feel both kicks and punches? Because the feelings I had this morning were several inches apart from each other. This is probably a silly question, but humor me. Embarrassed

    Yeah, I felt movement all over my abdomen--sometimes it seemed impossible that it could be coming from all sides, but it does!

    I also had an anterior placenta with DS and didn't really start feeling what I knew was movement til about 22 weeks. DH could feel it outside my belly at 24 weeks.

    Yep.  And you'll get to a point where you can feel every movement (and you will be able to tell if it's a hand or foot hitting you).  So you definitely could have been feeling kicks and punches.  Or baby could have been kicking you with both feet.

    And eventually you'll feel head butts and hip checks, too. And knees. Knees are fun.

    Ok, thanks! So I guess fetal kicks is a huge misnomer. I'm starting to think this may be baby I'm feeling then. I'm really hoping DH can feel it by Christmas. He has such a sad puppy dog look on his face when I say that I think I'm feeling something and he can't feel it.

    bubbles popping is a common description of the first "kick" feelings. I bet that's what it is!
