In the early days it felt like little muscle spasms or flutters. As she got bigger it was more solid, definitive jabs from her various limbs. Now that she's hardly got any room in there it feels like she's trying to push out to make more room. I feel and see bulges from her feet and butt.
What pp said. Early movements for me have always felt most comparable to muscle "twitches" or "spasms." Later on, it's much more of a distinct movement. Lots of bulging and pushing.
Like PP have said early on it's like little flutters and it's really sweet but now at 32wks I feel like baby is having a dance party or training to become a ninja! Sometimes the movement is so strong it makes me jump. But I do love being able to see and feel the kicks on the outside of my stomach.
