How Often Do You Feel Your Baby Move?

I am 28 weeks pregnant and I have been
feeling my baby move since 14 weeks. The
past few weeks she has been moving around
constantly! I wonder if she ever sleeps.
She wakes me up in the middle of the night
almost every night doing gymnastics in my
belly. I can feel her legs and feet
poking around. So strange! I feel her
kick by my ribs, side of my belly and
bottom of my belly. She does this
throughout my day at work as well. Anyone
else feel their baby move around this
much? It is definitely entertaining..

Hi megums1211- the best description I can
give is that around 14 weeks it felt like
I was having this muscle spasms or
twitches in my belly. Kind of like when
you get an eye twitch??? Hope that makes
sense!

want so bad to feel my baby move that i'm
constantly waiting for something that
might be a kick or a punch. But i'm a
first timer and I really don't know what
to expect :) thanks for your help

I first felt my baby move when I was
around 18 weeks. It's such a weird
feeling!
Someone described to me once that its like
a goldfish bumping into the side of it's
bowl. At first it's just little bumps.
Then it all goes downhill.

That's funny you say that...I feel like
mine never stops moving either. I am 28
weeks as well...Actually designergal you
and I are due at about the same time if I
remember correctly! It's very awesome
feeling them move so much.
First the "flutters" are so exciting
because its the first movement you feel
then it seems like every week it gets more
and more excting...Then to the kicks then
the rolls and now I feel her
everywhere...Sometimes it feels like she
is going to bust out of both sides of my
stomach at the same time! Can feel body
parts all the time too! She definetly
responds to poking too!
Sometimes I wish I could just get a quick
peek to see what position she is in!
Well good luck everyone!

I feel my baby move.. It feels like a
couple bubbles form and pop, and sometime
it feels like something is juggling, or
someone is poking me from within me lol..

Trust me you definitely know the
difference when they really get
going in there. Early movement is
definitely easy to confuse with gas. It
just feels like butterflies or bubbles.
But when they really start to move around
at first it's like quick light pokes, then
they start to beat you up!!! There's no
mistaking that first foot or fist in the
ribs. :lol:

Yah mine is moving and kickin thru out the
day too and im 23 weeks. He really likes
to move when I sway back and forth at work
its quite entertaining, and when im lying
down trying to sleep and just after
eating. Hehe. The feeling to me feels
almost like a long growl of ur stomach
when ur stomach is hungry, its kind ahard
to explain, but u'll just know when it
happens , over and over, u'll be like hey
I just felt that like 5 times already
today hehe.

I thought I felt something last night.
It's so hard to tell if it's the baby or
just something in my stomach, you know? I
was laying on my stomach and I definitely
felt something. Almost like "hey! You're
squishing me! Get up lady!" i'll try it
again tonight. I'm going to tell myself
it was the baby because i'm getting so
jealous of the people who are like "i'm 13
weeks and I felt my baby move!" and i'm
past 18 weeks and I haven't felt a thing
yet. I can't wait to really feel kicks
and jabs!

You probably felt it bridget. I've been
feeling it since week 16, but I felt a
couple of pokes during weeks 12, 13, &
14. Week 16 is when it kicked more
frequently and now it kicks pretty much
throughout the day. It stops for a
couple of hours here and there, but for
the most part it kicks. You'll know if
it's the baby or gas. It's probably the
baby.

I'm almost 20 weeks and i just started
feeling the baby move. It was weird i was
just laying on the couch one night and i
felt like something was wiggling around in
my stomach like a worm and it lasted at
least 3 or 4 minutes. then the next day i
felt it twice but i only notice her move
when i am laying down or sitting
comfortably...its so amazing...im just
hoping soon she will start moving all the
time and every day

I can't barely feel any movements and I'm
18 weeks. In the ultrasound they told me
why thought. They said it is because the
placenta is in the front wall of my uterus
so in order for me to feel a kick, the
baby has to kick hard enough it passes the
placenta and reaches the skin. So they
told me that until the baby is big enough
I wont feel the kicks.  . But while I don't
feel a thing in the ultrasound the baby
was very active and moving all over the
place. So much she was moving it was
sometimes difficult to take the pics.
