Gas, Baby, Or Muscle Spasms??

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

sorry im not much help

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!

thanks for the replies! i don't know, the more i think about it the more it feels like a small spasm... weird feeling. i guess it could be baby. i have to call my dr tomorrow anyways so i will ask them too!
i hope it is just baby, that would be so cool!

Let us know what your doctor says! I am interested since I get the same *feelings* in my belly!!!! I see my doctor this Friday, so I will post his answer as well! Have you booked for your 20 week u/s yet? I go in tomorrow and I am so excited to see my baby!!!!!!!!! Going to do my best though and hold out for not finding out the sex of the baby!

i am definitely going to find out the sex! yeah my appt is may 1st! i hope the little one is active that day! i will let you know what they say!

Good luck!!!!! I am leaving for my u/s app't in about half an hour........yay!!!!! I will post with an update later!

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!

I felt my first movements at 16 weeks. Aww it feels so great doesn't it?

yeah! i was excited, it is just so neat to know that you have a little baby growing inside of you and it is all squirming around!
