Hello all , I'm 15 weeks and I swear it feels like something is poking all around in my stomach mainly on one side maybe the baby , but I can't get comfortable no matter what I do I've have back pain as we'll .my legs are killing me I hope this doesn't continue until November .I know this May seem dumb but I'm a first time mom and this is all new to me . Any way to calmn baby down or get comfortable ?

I would say it is doubtful that it is baby. At 15 weeks the baby is only about 4 inches so not really big enough to "poke" you. Normally it would be light fluttering feelings if you felt anything at all.

It is common to have gas pains so maybe something like Gas X might help some of the poking sensation in the stomach.

As far as back and leg pain that is pretty normal and will probably continue. Massage, Chiropractors, soaks in the tub, and lots of pillows to help you get comfortable in the bed will help ease it some.

Most likely not baby. At 15 weeks he or she isn't strong enough to give actual pokes. If anything you'd be feeling flutters which feel very much like gas too. Most FTMs don't start to feel actual kick and pokes til around 20 weeks.
