I didn't get too many butterflies, but that sounds like the baby to me! I had more 'pokes' than butterflies, and that's they way I'd describe it.

i didn't get the butterflies with my first, i just started feeling pokes at 21 weeks and a week later harder movement that i could see from the outside.

this time i started feeling movement right around 14 weeks. i think i just didn't notice it with my first because i didn't really know what to expect. i'm sure it was happening, i just wasn't taking notice.

lol. Well for delivery, you want baby to face toward your back. A sunny side up baby, I've heard, is HORRID to deal with. Imagine their head bone hitting your tail bone :shudders: I'm not sure exactly what way s/he is facing, all I know is I keep getting a foot/leg in my rib. and what I think is a punch to the hip... ouchie...

I was like.. uh look my belly button is breathing hehe.. It was cool.. I love it. .I have the most biggest smile on my face... cause i felt it with my hand.. normally he quits moving when I touch him..

I don't remember butterflies as much as feeling like I had gas - sorry, not as nice sounding as butterflies. That was pretty early on in the pregnancy, though.

My first baby was sunnyside up. I had horrible back labor.

Shocked wow. Babies like to get in some awkward positions. I still can't figure out how they deliver babies that come out back first...
