What Does It Feel Like...

when baby kicks for the first time? Does
it feel like a fluttering, like a
butterfly, or is it a big kick? I felt my
stomach fluttering, but Im not sure that
was the baby kicking. It was really light
but I felt something. I dont think it was
gas.

it's might be your baby kicking. your
kidlett may just be moving around in
there. i thought it was gas for the
longest time until the ultrasound chick
was like do you feel your baby moving in
there? i was like no but then the next
day i could feel her moving around. when
they kick youwill know it it's crazy

in early pregnancy it felt like gas to me
...then butterflies and then it was just a
person moving and kicking inside...it
changes as your pregnancy progresses.

That brings tears to my eyes, because I
didnt know if my baby was still in there ,
j/k but it doesnt feel like Im pregnant,
but I know I am, its just hard to believe.
I am so emotional right now. Sorry. Im
super happy if that is what it was.

I am eleven weeks. My bff said that when
she was prego with her first child she
felt flutters at the same time. So im
hoping that is what I felt because when I
saw the doc last week they didnt pick up
the heart beat on the doppler thing. And
so I was worried it wasnt there anymore.

i'm sorry, but 11 weeks is *way* too early
to feel anything. most first time moms
don't feel movement until 18-22 weeks.
don't be concerned if you didn't hear the
heartbeat on the doppler, it may be too
early. i think the average is about 12
weeks for that but it's different for
everyone. i'm sure you'll hear it at your
next appointment!

most first time mothers dont' feel their
babies move until after 16 weeks. it may
just be gas at this time.
if your obgyn couldn't find the heartbeat
and there was something for you to worry
about they would have expressed this to
you. sometimes this is just a little
early. they didnt' try finding mine til
after 12 weeks. i was haveing ultrasounds
everymonth though because of
complications. your baby is fine. if you
are really worried about it you should
contact your ob.

I keep thinking that I feel the baby but I
think that it is too early. I only feel
the movement whenever I am laying on my
belly or pushing something up against my
stomach (like carrying a box or leaning
against the counter). My sister said that
she felt it that early with her first and
that it might be because I am skinny. I
don't know. I could be totally wrong. I
figure that I won't even think about it
much and then when I know that I am
feeling him move then I guess I will
believe it.

I am a petite girl myself. I was laying on
my side trying to sleep when I felt the
little flutter. It went away then a few
secods later it came back. I didnt know
what it was. I had never felt it before.
It was just ever so lightly when it
happened.

there's no way you felt fetal movement at
11 weeks. i don't want to burst your
bubble but it's just not possible.
at 11 weeks:
"Your baby
is about 1.61 inches (4.1 cm) long and
weighs 0.25 ounce (7gm)."

I felt bubbles pretty early, but i think
that was mostly gas! I got my flutters
around 16 wks and now at 22 wks I feel him
kick, very faintly but it certainly isn't
flutters.
all the ultrasound technicians I've seen
havent done anything but laugh at how
active he is in there. They all say I'm
gonna have a fun time once he get's bigger
I recently had to go to maternity because
I had some difficulties. They hooked me up
to the machine that measures contractions
(obviously I wasn't having contractions
they just wanted to be 100% sure) but I
guess it can also pick up babies
movements. the paper just kept spiking and
the doctor even made a comment about how
often he was moving!
Will how active a baby is determine how
soon you feel movement?
just wondering.
