Is the Baby Moving?
Posted: 12-22-05 11:31am

Hi guys! I've got a question? This is my first pregnancy and i'm four and a half months along. This morning I was sitting down and leaning to the left to reach for something when I got this really odd feeling. It felt like a strong wave that went from my left side to my right side. Needless to say that I was very shocked because I have never experienced anything like that. I wondered about it for a while...Now i'm thinking that it might have been the baby moving for the first time. Any idea if this could be? What does it feel like when the baby moves? Could the baby be moving this early?

Could possibly be baby moving, I can only discribe the movements as bubbles in ya tummy like when you have wind but more stranger, i'm 5 and ahalf months now so I see my baby move as well as feel her, and it does infact feel strange, so you are probably feeling the movement yes.

I started feeling movement at around 15wks. I felt like a light tapping in my lower abdomen. It probably was the baby. Sometimes it's so light you don't know it's the baby. It'll feel alot like gas. I'm 19 wks now. I think thinner women feel it first, or women with shorter torsos too.

Does it ever feel like a wave or a ripple? What I felt didn't feel like gas or bubbles. It was a strong wave.
