Ok, so i just hit 11 weeks today, but
yesterday while I was at Babys R Us with
my mom, I kept feeling this weird tickley
bubbly feeling in my uterus. i think it
was fluttering, is it possible to feel it
this early? i'm not sure, but I felt it
several times, and I'm pretty sure it
wasn't gas, but it made me smile, because
if that is my baby, its nice to finally
feel its existence in my body. What do you
guys think? fluttering?

Usually, first time moms feel their babies
starting at 18-20 weeks(some as late as
25), and 2nd time moms usually feel their
babies starting between 13-16 weeks.
Thinner women have a tendancy to feel
their babies sooner than heavier women.
This is just the norm, every woman is
different. If you think you felt your baby
then, by all means, CONGRATS! However, do
not be alarmed if movement does not seem
regular until closer to 20+ weeks.

My doctor had told me [when i thought i
was feeling flutters] that first time
mom's who are either into yoga, exercise
on a regular basis, and are very in tune
with their bodies feel movement earlier.
Its not common to feel movement so soon,
no one can really say if you did feel
anything or not, but movement and regular
movement usually hits around 18weeks and
up.
It sounds like it could be gas, but no one
can be 100% sure of it.
Congrats hun

Im not thinking gas, i know that feeling,
it felt like a a fish was in my belly it
was weird, but it was only yesterday
haven't felt it since then, have felt gas
though, I also do exercise regularly. i
work out a lot. I don't know, its hard to
say, I've never been pregnant till now. So
if it wasn't its nice to think that I'll
feel it eventually

i felt little flutters i think too, but im
not sure, i think when i was around
11weeks or so it was just gas and i
thought it was movements, like stomach
would quiver a little or twitch, it could
have been the baby, but i remember when i
felt movement it was 19weeks, and it was a
great big kick! lol
So you might be feeling flutters this
early

Yeah I think it was hard to say, but it
didn't feel like gas, more like I had a
little fishy or butterly moving around.
Definitelyno kick

The baby is very, very, very small still
with really soft bones. It is really
unlikely to feel your first child until
closer to 18-20 weeks.
The first flutters DO actually feel like
gas.

I remember when I thought I was feeling my
baby, but now I know when I am feeling
her. I am 21 weeks and I feel her
everyonce and awhile, but it didn't
actually start till a couple weeks ago.
Its pretty exciting!! CONGRATS!!! I can't wait for
you to REALLLLLY know when you're feeling
your little one!!

Definitelyno
kick
I know what you mean, like there's fishies
in your tummy lol
I think i thought it was the baby, because
it was my first time experiencing a
feeling like that. You know what i mean?
I never had a gas bubbly feeling before,
never felt or had something inside, well,
me! before lol so i figured it was the
baby.
Now im 25weeks, and when my baby is moving
i know it, i feel the hiccups sometimes
lol or kicks and gabs, it feels way
different than what i though was movenent
before!
You'll know for sure when its the baby's
movement, lol for me i think my little
ones going to be a kick boxer! lol
