FTM: Movement vs. gas pain

Luna CLuna C member
in June 2014 Moms
Bear with me: I know we have 3,000 threads on this, but I didn't see this particular version come up before. 

So, last night, I became aware of a ... sensation. Right in the center of my belly. It wasn't the "flutter" I've been expecting, but it didn't feel like gas, either. Nor was it crampy or RLP-like. It's really hard to describe what it felt like: It wasn't sharp, it wasn't hard, it was just ... a sensation. (Try to explain how the sleeve of a cotton shirt feels on your arm. You know it's there but it doesn't really feel like much.)

This went on for a few minutes, stopped, then moved over a bit toward my right side. Then back to the center. Then I couldn't feel it any more. Happened again this morning at work. Both times it was when I was sitting without moving for awhile. 

Was that movement or is my wishful thinking getting the better of me?

    I don't know but I have had almost the exact same thing. Mine is kind of like a tingling maybe would be a way to describe it.

    Did it feel like pops? Like popcorn?

    I say movement but that may be because I've had the same thing this week and want it to be the baby ;) Does it feel like a muscle twinge?

    It's so hard to describe: Maybe tingling or a "twinge" is a better way to put it. But a very, very mild twinge -- not at all like a cramp. 

    I would almost call it a warming sensation -- except it didn't actually feel hot. (I know that doesn't make sense.) Sort of like when my cat lays on my belly, but with no pressure. 

    I just felt hyper-aware of one spot on my belly for a bit. It felt like something was happening there, and it didn't feel like any of the other things that have been going on in there recently.

    I always thought it felt like a push. As if you were to lightly push on your arm. Hiccups feel more like muscle spasms.

    I just had this happen to me. Middle if my belly under the belly button - like a twinge or pop. I've been having that a few times in the last week. Not 100% sure it's baby but I like to think it is! ;)

    It sounds like movement. I've been feeling it all week in the same spot. Sometimes I get annoyed because it feels like a constant twitch that won't stop, and then I remember its the baby!

    Yes --- that's exactly where it was.

    Pretty sure you're feeling baby! :) embrace it. (Even if it's not, how are you, or anyone else for that matter, going to be proven otherwise) I felt flutters for 2-3 weeks. Then it was gentle kicks. Now she kicks every night. Hubs can't feel them yet, but it won't be long (I hope not anyway)

    I've been feeling the flutters on and off for the last 2 weeks. They've progressively been getting stronger. It's a very odd sensation. But it really does feel like a muscle spasm. So weird!

    I vote baby too. Right now your intestines are pushed up higher than your belly button so that's all uterus right there in the center. Congrats :):)

    Yup, had that. I think it's a big part of the baby brushing against you, not hand or leg.

    I'm glad you asked, too! I've been feeling a twinge-type sensation too.

    Awwww.... like a little snuggle! 

    /verge of tears

    I'm so happy I asked. I held off all day thinking everyone would laugh at me and tell me it was gas, but I had to get feedback. 

    YAY!


    I'm so glad you asked! I was afraid I would get SS'ed but this is what I have been feeling too!

    I read some where that the early flutters are the baby flipping or turning. I felt the same way for a few weeks! Wasn't sure what I was feeling! The other night I felt kicks! It was most certainly the baby!! It's was so exciting. I've only felt it one since then though. Congrats on the awesome feeling :-)

    I'm fairly certain you're feeling movement. I wonder the same thing (is it gas?) because the feeling is so faint, and they're not all the same feelings, either. But when I consider the location of the "feeling" I'm sure it's the baby. Its coming more and more often since I first starting feeling it. It's comforting. I got someone with me.

    It's probably the baby! I don't like the analogy of butterflies or butterfly wings either. It's not what it feels like. I like the "popcorn" sensation mentioned above, or the 'bubbles popping'. I was telling my US tech that I didn't know how to describe it, and said it was like bubbles popping. Sometimes when I feel it, my heart skips a beat. It's a weird feeling...but great feeling. But yes, so darn hard to describe to someone or use words for it.

    Yeah, my baby has never felt like butterflies or flutters.
