Gas during my pregnancy feels different from other times. If you're looking for flutters it would be easy to mistake it. But it's definitely gas this early. Your home page tells you a reference to how big the baby is currently.
I felt a flutter yesterday! 12wks 3d. Since this is definitely not my 1st I am positive it was baby. Felt just like a little butterfly. It was pretty awesome. My last pregnancy I didn't feel him until 15-16 weeks. When they start to get consistent you can look back and go "oh ya that was baby moving" I always loved getting verification when I was getting an ultra sound and I could feel and then see them move.
This is my second pregnancy and I'm not sure I could tell the difference between gas bubbles and baby flutters at this point, but some people are just shaped differently and maybe it's easier to tell the difference for some. It's such a neat experience!
It does get asked frequently, but do you have nothing better to do than to respond to each FAQ that annoys you? If it's a question that you see often and it annoys you often then it's easy enough to just skip. Harassing/hazing people for asking questions that have already been answered is against the TOU.
Sorry chick it's probably just gas or your own heart beat some people can feel theirs in their stomach I couldn't tell at first with my daughter but if you wait a couple more weeks you'll just know it's your baby with does feel like a poot this early lol
My first pregnancy I felt my daughter at about 15-16 weeks and then felt her kicks at 17 weeks... This pregnancy I felt flutters at 10 weeks 4 days and thought it was just gas but now at 11 weeks 3 days I'm positive that I'm feeling my little one moving around... I felt the baby moving and sure enough that's exactly where he/she was on the ultrasound.
I know it's really new and exciting, especially with a first pregnancy to be unsure of what those feelings are! As the other POLITE ladies have said...it's most likely gas right now. When you feel your baby start moving and kicking you will DEFINITELY be able to pinpoint that feeling!
I read somewhere that in twin pregnancies you can feel movement much earlier, I'm 11 weeks with my second and I'm positive I felt movement... Now I've convinced myself it's twins haha everyone is different but you are the expert of your body.
Common courtesy would also dictate that a person not be rude to others. That's also a very simple concept. There are ways to say things without being snarky.

N15 defies science. Everyone here started showing at 5 weeks and they felt the baby at 10 weeks. You're on track for this group.
Perhaps I have different ideas about what is rude and what is not than you do, but I'm not sure how else you would describe these comments. I don't mean to start anything with anyone, but comments like this and many others with the same level of snark run potential contributors away from these forums. I'm not asking for everything to be rainbows and kittens. Legitimate disagreements about things come up, but why needlessly snipe at people for being excited?

Welcome to the bump. The snark is half the fun. Being excited doesn't mean you can feel the baby. My 3 year old says she can hear the baby crying. Doesn't mean it's true.

I stated a fact. I've been in 3 BMBs and never before have so many ladies started showing so early or feeling the baby so early. I see nothing wrong with stating a fact. All of my other BMBs didn't feel baby until much later and didn't show until much later. Fact.
I don't understand the need to read and or comment on something that you find annoying, repetitive or just don't like . I also wonder who made a handful of these women the pregnancy gods who know everything . Such a nasty group of women .....aren't we all here to celebrate the blessing of life?

Wait.... so all these "facts" are based on your observations based on BMB comments? I would call those anecdotes. Instead of getting your nose out of joint pointing out the same "facts" over and over why don't you and some of the other scientists look up some legit sources and ask to have them pinned to the top of the board and just refer people there when these questions come up again and again? Stating facts without backing them up is pointless.
No one said they know everything. There are plenty of good topic threads being bumped to the next page because of the repetitive topics of feeling the baby at 10 weeks.

I didn't say it was a published fact. It is still a fact because it absolutely happened. They didn't show it feel the baby as early as these ladies. If I had lunch yesterday its a fact. It doesn't matter that it wasn't published somewhere. I will call it an experience if that makes you feel better.
A couple of thoughts. In the next month or two the baby vs. gas posts will be pretty much behind us as it will pretty much be baby at that point.
Second, can we petition a moderator to let someone make an FAQ post that stays at the top and can not be commented on with issues like this and some of the ones that will come up soon such as heartburn relief, sleep positions or other things that I'm not remembering right now? (Last time I was pregnant was over 9yrs ago, I've forgotten a lot and haven't looked up future issues yet.) Perhaps that post could have links to medical articles or at least wiki pages that are on topic. That way we could just say please see the FAQ instead of everyone getting their noses out of joint when these topics come up?
For posts that we find on topic, interesting and relevant maybe we could post "bump" or some other place holding type comment so that they stay near the top and are noticed by more people if we find they're getting buried.
@hanse004 if you post a link to your positivity board, you'll get banned. That will solve your issue of continuing to come back here even though you hate it so much. Just a suggestion
Also I think you're the only one in the thread who violated the TOU, with the name-calling.

And some of us don't understand why common sense just doesn't apply to the majority of these posters (seriously... even reading the information on the bump will tell you what you can expect at each stage... reasonably). You're not showing at 5 weeks and you're not feeling the baby move at 10 weeks. It doesn't matter how "in tune" you are with your body. If they want to be an AW then do it on Facebook or whatever, stop bogging down boards with multiple threads of the same topic. If that's too hard for you then add to the others if you "know what you're feeling/you don't know me/it's totes happening y'all".
True, but it might curb some of it and it would give an informative place to point those people. Also if we don't constantly respond to a topic it gets buried so being able to say, please read the FAQ 1 time would bury the post pretty fast.
unfortunately because of the women who can't get over themselves and just be supportive, the women who are total bitches and can't help another pregnant First time mom out...I will be leaving this group and looking somewhere else for support. I hope that the women who continue on this path of bad talking can get a reality check and hopefully not produce any more children because it would be a shame to have more bullies in the world.
where is this group of nicer women? I'm desperate for some support and these women are just awful
Your previous threads seem to have quite a bit of positivity and camaraderie in the responses. Are you concerned about thinking you feel the baby? Does it scare you? What kind of support are you looking for in this thread? It's probably gas at this point. Even 13 weeks is early for a first pregnancy.

It's common curtesy to look around a few pages before you post. It's really simple.
Being excited doesn't mean you can feel the baby.
My 3 year old says she can hear the baby crying. Doesn't mean it's true.
