What Does It Feel Like... Posted: 02-26-07 09:46am
When the baby kicks for the first time?
Does it feel like a fluttering? Or is it
literally kicking that you feel? If it is
fluttering I may have felt it kick for the
first time last night. It wasnt gas. I
know what gas feels like.

at first it's light fluttering and then
you'll notice it getting stronger until it
feels like real kicks. most first time
moms will feel movement anywhere from
18-22 weeks. keep in mind it's very easy
to mistake gas for baby.
personally, i never felt the fluttering. i
just started feeling full blown kicks at
21 weeks. i loved when he started moving
regularly, i found it very reassuring.
