It was three pops in a row, Like popcorn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-feelings-of-movement#post-1994896 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 18:39:24 +0000 Boopers 1994896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an anterior placenta so I didn't feel strong movement until about 21 weeks, but the first small movements I felt felt like twitching nerves in my stomach. Then as he got bigger it felt like heart palpatations but in my uterus. It's the weirdest way to describe how it felt. Now it's very obvious and strong and you can see him moving around and kicking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-feelings-of-movement#post-1994889 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 18:32:57 +0000 Snowdrop 1994889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt my first at 15 weeks and it was like a muscle twitch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-feelings-of-movement#post-1994841 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 17:49:23 +0000 LuLu Mom 1994841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It felt like bubbles in my stomach, not consistent enough for me to really "get" but they would make me stop and wait to see if it happened again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-feelings-of-movement#post-1994804 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 17:29:41 +0000 sarac 1994804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt my first at 16 weeks, so you probably are feeling movement! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-feelings-of-movement#post-1994798 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 17:23:29 +0000 Mamasig 1994798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always thought the 1st movement felt like a fish flopping in my belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-feelings-of-movement#post-1994797 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 17:23:27 +0000 Tidybee 1994797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: it sounds like the first movements...<br /> mine were like little pops or muscle twitches down by my underwear lines as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-feelings-of-movement#post-1994781 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 17:11:43 +0000 MrsBrewer 1994781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: I'm envisioning a fish swimming in my belly now, kind of weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-feelings-of-movement#post-1994749 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 16:52:51 +0000 LBee 1994749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It felt like a fish tail was hitting the inside of my stomach. It was not low - but baby was frank breeched pretty much my entire pregnancy, so no real surprise there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-feelings-of-movement#post-1994744 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 16:50:41 +0000 miramira 1994744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For me it felt like a tickling sensation, or like bubbles popping, maybe somewhere around 15 weeks. Quite early but definitely not gas!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-feelings-of-movement#post-1994723 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 16:34:58 +0000 Torchwood 1994723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was definitely very low for a long time. I think muscle spasms are the closest comparison I can think of. Sometimes when I get a muscle twitch somewhere now, it makes me think of early baby movement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-feelings-of-movement#post-1994714 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 16:32:15 +0000 MelisMc 1994714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sounds like movement to me! And a lot of kicks and stuff I feel now are still reaaally low like that...like right above my pubic bone. So I do think you're feeling the baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-feelings-of-movement#post-1994712 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 16:30:15 +0000 MrsBrewer 1994712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: LOL!! Love that description!</p> <p>@MelisMc: I know! It's hard to describe right?</p> <p>Well I'm 16+3 today with my first, and I'm almost feeling like.....tapping feelings low, like down near my underwear line. Tapping is the best way for me to describe it, it's like a quick feeling. I'm just trying to figure out if it's actually movement or not! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-feelings-of-movement#post-1994705 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 16:27:02 +0000 kiddosc 1994705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>like someone was blowing bubbles through a straw in my uterus :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-feelings-of-movement#post-1994701 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 16:24:54 +0000 MelisMc 1994701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's so hard to describe the first feelings! I'm at 27 weeks now and the movements are so obivous that it's easy to describe, but in the very beginning it's much harder to capture. A lot of people say flutters, but for me it almost felt like involuntary muscle spasms or nerve twitches. Does that make sense? And sometimes like little gas bubbles. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-feelings-of-movement#post-1994696 Mon, 22 Dec 2014 16:20:52 +0000 MrsBrewer 1994696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you first started to feel movement during pregnancy, what did it feel like?</p> <p>Please describe in details! :-) </p>
