FTM here, On Saturday I started feeling flutters down real low, like right at my pelvic bone. At first I thought it was gas, but I have literally never felt gas like that before.
Part of me still thinks it is gas, but I feel it pretty regularly. Not sure if it is baby moving, or baby hitting something causing a muscle spasms. Not sure, but it is strange.
FTM here. 15 wks. Thinking I may have felt baby twice now. Both times are when I have been laying down to nap. Once was a rolling sort of feeling, very unlike anything I have felt before. The second time was a series of flutters down one side, like the edge of my uterus. Maybe kicks?
15w5d and I definitely felt the baby move at least twice this weekend. Friday night I was laying on the couch (starving and whining) and when I rolled over, I could feel this little movement closer to my right side. It was similar to the bubble sensation everyone describes. It's so amazing (and weird) to feel the baby move. Then yesterday I was taking a nap when I woke up and sneezed. I felt two little thumps. It cracked me up because clearly the baby was napping too!
I found out today at my US that my placenta is anterior so I won't feel baby move until later than most others, and I'll feel it move less throughout pregnancy. Noooooo!!! Of course I'm happy baby and everything is good, but I just can't wait to feel baby.
I felt something odd a few weeks ago and was kind of uncertain but definitely felt it for sure last night.
Woke up at 4AM, turned over on my right side... was having trouble falling back asleep and then suddenly out of nowhere, it was like a bag of popcorn was popping on the lower right side of my abdomen. Tons of little *pings*. Turned over to my other side, it kind of stopped for a second, then started back up an inch or two away from where it had started. Finally settled down after a few minutes, but it was so weird.
@canavara this is what I've been feeling too. I'm still really skeptical, given all of the insanely weird GI issues I've been having, but this doesn't feel like anything I've ever felt. It's almost like a little pulsing in my lower abdomen. I felt it for the first time a little less than 2 weeks ago and then didn't feel it for about a week again. The last few days I've felt it a few times a day. Usually if I'm sitting at my desk for a while or at night. I hope it's baby! Otherwise, I have no idea what is going on in there!
I'm 15w3d and I don't even feel anything that could be confused with gas or anything else. Whole lotta nothing going on down there. I have a posterior placenta so hopefully soon.
I am 15 weeks along and have noticed mild little flutters in the last few days of my 14th week and now they are happened a couple of times today. It is so exciting to finally actually feel the little ones wiggling around in there. So Exciting! Even more exciting then seeing them jumping and wiggling but not feeling them. I just love the fluttery feeling it is awesome. This is my 5th pregnancy so I thought I may have felt them earlier but being heavier I think it may have prevented me from feeling them earlier.
I am so happy that everyone has described feeling the baby move in detail... I officially felt the baby move last night and I would've never known if it wasn't for this thread. @canavara popcorn was a great way to describe it. a mixture of popcorn and bubbles is what I felt. it lasted longer than I thought it would (i figured it'd just be for a few seconds, maybe it was, but it felt a lot longer in my falling asleep state). 16 weeks 4 days. awesome!
I don't know if I officially felt the baby or not. Yesterday off and on all day it sorta felt like a throb. (kinda like the odd throb/sensation you get when getting a pap.) I brushed it off to be just stuff stretching and what not
I'm 16 weeks and feel them often. Especially when I lay down after a long day on my feet (nurse here). Baby starts their gymnastics routine right away. I started feeling small flutters at the end of 14 weeks. Bigger and stronger all the time.
Apparently my LO doesn't like the doppler anymore (or maybe never did). I had it out tonight and he started kicking it. Immediately felt it and right then the doppler made its little "boop" feedback noise. Was definitely very cool! My mom was just like, "Yeah just wait until you get to that last month where it's nothing but nonstop kicks in the ribs and you never get to sleep anymore..."

@canavara EVERY. TIME. Why can't women just be excited you can feel the kicking? Stop reminding me of how miserable I'll be at the end of 40 weeks. I know the baby is rocking out in there! I can feel the baby moving (bubbles/thumps) most of the time now. When space gets tight, this future football kicker/soccer forward/Olympic swimmer is SOL.
The only person I let talk to me that way in regards to kicks is my sweet, lovely, caring mother. I broke two of her ribs at 34 weeks and I have an indent in my left calf from developing so high on her ribs. That woman is a saint.
ETA because I totally am not trying to be a worst case scenario woman! I just wanted to make it clear how much I love my mother for carrying me through the sickness and pain!
So, I had my first cup of coffee since I started to feel little flutters, and baby is having the time of its life down there. It feels like someone is doing barrel rolls in my lower stomach.
I'm about positive I feel something, it's light, fluttery and down about where the baby is (I've located with doppler). Not gas. There is nothing like feeling a baby move in you, I never hated it, it was always so amazing!

Right?! I held back from saying anything because I'm her only child so I know she was talking about me kicking her so it was just like, "Whatever, I'll just accept the snark as payback for whatever literal kneejerk dumb stuff I did in utero"
Even if we're all going to possibly be miserable weeks 36-40, I bet it's still going to be awesome. Can't wait for the weird alien-baby hands and feet imprints as they push up against the bump haha.
Since I saw this original thread, I've been waiting and waiting to feel the baby! Had a scare earlier in the pregnancy and an Ultrasound was the only thing to make my fears go away, and my next one isn't until my 18 week in 3 weeks... And TONIGHT felt my little flutter bug fluttering!!
@kelseyh62 not necessarily. I only feel the baby move every once in a while. I felt it for the first time last week, but it has made me hypervigilant. Every time I'm gassy I think it could be baby.
I mentioned last week at the beginning of week 15 that I started feeling flutters at the end of week 14. I hadn't really felt too much for a couple of days again, and then I ate an Ice cream cone and oh my. That reminded me that with previous pregnancies, cold and sweet things could get the babies kicking. It definitely worked tonight I felt it a lot again for a while after eating the Icecream come. Sugar and Ice almost always get babies wiggling and bouncing.
@kelseyh62 When I first felt movement, it was really subtle and spaced out over days/weeks. Now it's pretty much all throughout the day. I swear this baby thinks my uterus is the next American Ninja Warrior course. I think everyone feels it differently at different times though so I wouldn't worry too much about it!
@kelseyh62 Definitely not consistent here. I do feel him kick whenever I use the doppler, but I feel really bad for that because I can only assume he's kicking because he doesn't like it. Otherwise, it only happens randomly every few days and it's just like a couple of little pops that are over as soon as they begin.
This morning trying to get out of my giant pregnancy pillow I felt the strangest muscle tightening/ roller coaster stomach dropping sensation, just once, on my right side (where B hangs out) baby? Maybe. Stretching belly hating me? Also possible.
That's all that I can definitely say was not my lingering morning sickness indigestion messing with me... (17w2d)
Okay, thanks! I'm gona keep telling myself I felt the baby then. Yay! I've had my fair share of ice cream and haven't felt baby move then. I've been going with the theory of no wine and more ice cream = wash. I guess I need to keep this up to feel baby move again!
Last night I swore I felt more of a thud in my stomach rather then the pulsing or bubbles I was having previously. I put my hand on my stomach and then I felt it again. I would have bet money I felt that from the outside as well, but perhaps that was me just feeling it from the inside and not being able to differentiate whether I felt it from just inside or inside and outside. I'm 17 weeks and change and it just seems too early to feel legit movement from the outside. And now it's making me question of what I've been feeling all along is baby!!
Anyone else feel baby then not again for a few weeks? I haven't felt baby again since the 2 days in my 13th week that I did. Starting to get nervous about it :-( Mondays appointment can't come soon enough!
@kelseyh62 i have the EXACT same theory. With all of the calories we're saving without wine, I feel like I can eat ice cream whenever. i. want. and my husband can't tell a pregnant woman no
Re: Isn't way too early to feel baby move?
Part of me still thinks it is gas, but I feel it pretty regularly. Not sure if it is baby moving, or baby hitting something causing a muscle spasms. Not sure, but it is strange.
I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow.
