I have random movements here and there that I can feel on the exterior, but nothing consistent. I can't wait for things to be more consistent to reassure me everything is okay inside! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-crap-i-think-my-baby-is-doing-barrel-rolls#post-718709 Tue, 16 Apr 2013 06:15:01 +0000 Mrs D 718709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally had this happen yesterday! I was standing chatting at work and I felt a distinctive kick right in my lower tummy - as usual I wait for more gas bubbles but none came so I know it was a kick. That was my first distinguishable movement where I am certain thats what it was.</p> <p>Then last night when I was getting ready for bed I had like rolling pressure going through my low stomach and think it was a barrel roll - I just stopped and stood. Its like she rolled once and then once more to settle in then nothing for the rest of the night! Crazy! Loved it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-crap-i-think-my-baby-is-doing-barrel-rolls#post-718525 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 22:46:40 +0000 tysonja 718525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>aww fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-crap-i-think-my-baby-is-doing-barrel-rolls#post-718426 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 21:49:44 +0000 delight 718426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can completely relate! I was only feeling little flutters until about week 20 and then one day on my drive home from work I felt a "barrel roll" just like you described. It was the start of more movement! Last week a couple times the kicks were so huge, DH could feel them through my belly. I'm just 23 weeks so I know they will keep getting stronger, and I still go through periods throughout the day where I don't feel anything, but its so fun feeling more than those little flutters! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-crap-i-think-my-baby-is-doing-barrel-rolls#post-718415 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 21:43:40 +0000 Freckles 718415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww i miss those moments! I didn't start to feel anything until about 22-23 weeks. It went from barely anything to crazy rolls and kicks. It'll get even better (and maybe freakier) as you get bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-crap-i-think-my-baby-is-doing-barrel-rolls#post-718410 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 21:38:29 +0000 Espion 718410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I joke with my husband that this kid is systematically testing my uterus for weak spots. And he never tests the same place twice... #raptors<br /> Seriously, I couldn't wait to feel movement because of an early m/c with my first pregnancy. It seemed like it really started around 18 - 20 weeks, then picked up in intensity as I progressed. Every once in awhile he'll do something in there that will make me sit up straight and go "Whoa!" At 32 weeks, he's a definitely a Bruce Lee.<br /> (I also hear that babies have circadian rhythms. He is most active waaaay early in the morning, when I'm at work if I happen to be moving around a bunch, and between 6 - 11 pm. I wonder if that translates into sleep habits when he's stateside?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-crap-i-think-my-baby-is-doing-barrel-rolls#post-717397 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 14:00:22 +0000 Modern Daisy 717397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha how awesome!! I am a week behind you, but I remember it did go from feeling slight flutters to all of the sudden karate practice was going on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holy-crap-i-think-my-baby-is-doing-barrel-rolls#post-717378 Mon, 15 Apr 2013 13:56:20 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 717378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Up until now (21 weeks) I have been feeling slight flutters and light pops every now and then. Nothing string or consistent at all. I was laying here, being lazy on HB and watching some shows and I felt a STRONG kick. As if I had my hand on the outside I would have felt it. I didn't feel anything else for about 30 minutes and suddenly I felt the strangest and strongest movement ever that seriously felt like she stuck her butt out and did a barrel roll inside me! How did I go from hardly feeling anything to feeling THAT? My laptop, that was resting on my stomach even jiggled which means I KNOW I would have been able to feel it had my hand been on my stomach!</p> <p>Anybody else get sudden (albeit inconsistent) and super strong movements after hardly feeling anything? Was it the beginning of regular strong movements or just flukes based on positioning? </p>
