I feel a little better knowing that now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-baby-movement-experiences#post-610376 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 07:26:18 +0000 T.H.O.U. 610376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt it around 18 weeks but was nervous to really say thats what it was! Around 20 weeks I was sure what I was feeling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-baby-movement-experiences#post-610360 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 06:57:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 610360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrslace: I know- as much as I want to feel more I know it gets a little unpleasant later on. Funny you mention turbulence, the baby was actually just active during a little turbulence on my last flight just now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-baby-movement-experiences#post-610343 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 06:42:39 +0000 mrslace 610343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I felt mine around the same time. For me it felt almost like turbulence in a plane. But then I didn't feel anything again for several weeks. It wasn't until maybe month 5 that I was feeling anything regularly. Be careful what you wish for! Sometimes baby's punches, kicks and rolls would be painful or wake me up from sleep! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-baby-movement-experiences#post-610341 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 06:34:00 +0000 meganmp 610341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt popcorn popping type movement at 17 weeks. It was infrequent until about 20 weeks. At 24 weeks, DH could feel it, at 34 weeks he took a video because my stomach looked like a boiling chicken pot pie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-baby-movement-experiences#post-610320 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 04:33:09 +0000 MrsRoo 610320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I first knew that I felt them around 17 weeks, and it wasn't regular at all. I only felt them at first when I was laying on my back or leaning back while sitting on the couch, although I did get some mini jabs if I layed on my stomach. I probably felt her once a day, but mostly because I would lay really still with my hand on my belly and wait for it. </p> <p>Some felt like muscle spasms or twitches from inside, some felt like I had a little goldfish in my belly- it reminded me of fish from the pet store bumping into the side of the plastic bag (lol, that might not make any sense, but that's what it reminded me of)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-baby-movement-experiences#post-610301 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 02:44:54 +0000 Sweet T 610301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I first felt DS around 16 or 17 weeks. It felt like muscle spasms. I don't remember how often it was that early on. I want to say at least once a day, but I'm not positive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-baby-movement-experiences#post-610288 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 02:14:11 +0000 googly-eyes 610288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Twinges, like muscle spasm almost? And then one day I SAW her (18w? It was early for me but didn't happen all the time) and I totally freaked out, and started laughing in a setting where everyone was supposed to be quiet...some people turned and stared! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-baby-movement-experiences#post-610280 Mon, 04 Mar 2013 01:52:39 +0000 Foodnerd81 610280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What did the first pokes and kicks feel like? What were you doing and how far along were you? Once they started were they pretty regular or long stretches without feeling anything?</p> <p>I'm 19 weeks tomorrow and I first felt someone poking me from the inside around 17 during acupuncture, while laying on my front. Nothing for a week, then in the last week I've felt little twinges or flutters every once in a while. I am looking forward to when it's a little easier to feel and more frequent (less so to the hard jabs in the ribs I hear about). </p>
