Tell me if I'm crazy...

So let me start by saying that I realize that this sounds crazy.  I really do.  But last night, I was trying to take a nap while DH was cooking dinner because I had a migraine.  And while I was laying there, I was holding my belly.  I have not felt the baby at all prior to this, but I started to feel a little sporadic tapping feeling on my right lower abdomen.  The taps were super tiny, and with my hand there I was unable to even tell if I was feeling them from the inside or the outside.

 I felt around other parts of my abdomen near it and on the other side, and I could not feel it anywhere else.  It felt nothing like gas, just like tiny little pops.  I put a little more pressure on the spot, and it happened more.  I even called DH in the room and made him put his fingers on the spot, and he felt two tiny taps.  I know that I am probably early to be feeling the baby at all, and it seems impossible that we were able to feel it from the outside.  It just did not feel like anything that I have felt before.  I am a really tiny person, but it still seems crazy to think that I could have felt the baby from the outside- even barely.  Is it at all possible that we really felt the baby, or am I going crazy?  I figured that it would be another week or two before I could even start to feel flutters, but now I am really curious.

Re: Tell me if I'm crazy...

  • I haven't felt anything from the outside and I am not quite positive that I have felt the baby move yet either but I have felt those tiny taps too which I don't think is gas. I have felt like it was the baby and another girl I know said those were the first movements she felt of the baby..so it very well could have been the baby.

  • With my fisrt, that is what her movements felt like.  Almost like someone was using your belly to microwave popcorn!  This is my second and I'm experiencing the exact same thing you are describing.  Except I don't really feel the taps from the outside, but I do carry a good bit of extra weight.  So asuming you are a February momma too.....I don't think you are crazy at all.

  • The same thing happened to me about a week and a half ago.  I woke up in the middle of the night and my hand was resting on my belly.  I felt tapping in my hand.  I convinced myself it was just a muscle spasm because I figured it was too early to feel anything on the OUTSIDE, but maybe it was LO.
