Muscle Spasm Or Baby Kicking? Posted: 07-11-07 20:03pm
I am 12 weeks 3 days and I keep feeling
what I think is a muscle spasm in my
uterus. This is my first pregnancy, and
from what I have read from other ladies,
especially ladies who have had multiple
babies, tell me that I won't feel the baby
until 15 weeks. Has anyone felt the baby
at 12 weeks?

i believe thats too early
however your muscles streatch during this
time so that may be what your feeling
im not 100% sure though
to me when the baby moves it feels like
bubbles
like how carbination from soda gets in
your nose and it tickles
thats how it feels

I felt my baby move at 13 weeks so it is
possible thats what your feeling. Though
as my doctor told me when I asked her
about it she said that it's rare, but in
women who are thin or have had multiple
pregnancies they can feel the baby move
earlier then others.

It is probably gas. Babies bones have not
formed enough for their little kicks and
jabs to be felt yet. The baby is moving,
but it isn't strong enough to move hard
enough for you to feel it.

I felt movement around 12 weeks even
though I was pregnant with my first and
everything I'd read said it was too soon.
To me, it was very, very subtle feeling.
It felt almost like I was being tickled
from the inside and was well below my
belly button & a little to the right
(turns out the baby is still a bit to the
right because that's where they hear the
heartbeat with doppler, where the sonogram
was done, all a bit to the right, probably
to do with the positioning of my uterus).
Around 18 weeks, I started to feel
occasional pokes (like being poked with an
index finger from the inside); around 21
weeks, good strong, occasional kicks that
could be felt from the outside by my
husband (but I still feel the tickling
sometimes too although a bit higher up
now--I'm 22 weeks).

I started feeling my baby quickening at
about 15 weeks maybe 17 but now it feels
like the baby is kicking me or punching
me. It feels funny but i love the feeling.
