Gas, Baby, Or Muscle Spasms?? Posted: 04-15-07 08:53am
hello! i am almost 17 weeks now and i
can't tell if what i am feeling is the
baby or not!! i really want to know! it
feels almost like a little poke in my
uterus area but it could be gas i suppose
or it could maybe feel like a little
muscle spasm too. i get it randomly and it
always make me wonder? what do you think??

hey dont feel bad, i didnt know if what i
felt was baby or not until around 24 weeks
i think, when i saw her move my whole
tummy
it may very well be the baby, but i
couldnt tell you, id say if you dont have
gas afterward its a good chance that its
not gas, i dont know lol

Sounds to me like it may be baby moving!
They say that you'll notice it more around
21 weeks, but that you could have felt it
before, except that you perhaps thought it
was gas, or like a series of bubbles
pooping or that butterfly feeling!!!! I
felt baby kick ever so softly just after
18 weeks, so I think it could be baby
saying "HI" to it's Mommy!!!!!!
I asked my Doctor about it b/c I hadn't
really felt anything up until 18 weeks,
and he told me that I would start to feel
alot more around my 20-21 week!!!!
I am now 19weeks, 2 days!
Hope all else is going well for you!

he basically said that the spasm feeling
he can't tell me exactly what it is but it
could just be growing or there is a slight
possibility i am feeling the baby like
that, either way no worries! but i
definitely felt the baby this morning and
it felt like a hunger growl but with no
hunger!

know that you have a little baby growing
inside of you and it is all squirming
around!
