But everybody is different..... so yay if it was movement! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-this-my-baby-moving#post-180798 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 14:15:44 +0000 LuLu Mom 180798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt flutters first and then kicks, however I was a lot further along but have an anterior placenta so it has caused me to not feel movement as much as most moms! How exciting!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-this-my-baby-moving#post-180559 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:41:04 +0000 sorrycharlie 180559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't feel anything til closer to 17 weeks, and it almost felt like a muscle spasm or cramp. It took several times before I realized it wasn't gas, but was the baby! I also thought since it was to the side, it couldn't be her...but lo and behold, she thinks she's in a hammock, and most of her movement is on each side rather than centered or up and down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-this-my-baby-moving#post-180553 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:38:32 +0000 mediagirl 180553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's what my first movement felt like. Mine was like three little beats on a drum. Then they went away for 2 weeks!! lol. If it didn't feel like what gas normally feels like to you, it probably was. :) Sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-this-my-baby-moving#post-180549 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:37:23 +0000 loveisstrange 180549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't feel anything like that until 20+ weeks. Before that it felt like bubbles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-this-my-baby-moving#post-180492 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:06:26 +0000 hilsy85 180492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When LO moves it feels like a nudge...although in the very beginning, it felt like soda bubbles popping. So it could be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-this-my-baby-moving#post-180488 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:04:28 +0000 DillonLion 180488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay! I've been having a lot of random flutters but no tapping yet. I'm 15.5 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-this-my-baby-moving#post-180480 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:00:53 +0000 stargal 180480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thats how i think my first kick felt like, just like a tap saying hey im in here. very light. think it happened around 16 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-this-my-baby-moving#post-180479 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 11:00:46 +0000 mrs. wagon 180479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! you can start to feel movement right around 14 weeks. Most first time moms don't recognize it as movement until much later. A fluttering that might feel like gas is also movement!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-this-my-baby-moving#post-180477 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 10:59:28 +0000 MamaMoose 180477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 15.5 weeks and still unsure if I'm feeling movement but what I think is moving feels just like that, a finger tapping me from inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-this-my-baby-moving#post-180459 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 10:50:45 +0000 cyneswith 180459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 14.5 weeks with my first. Last night, I went and laid in the backyard, and I laid on my tummy for a few minutes. After about a minute, I felt like I was being gently prodded from inside where my uterus is. Like a light tap with a finger tip, only longer and from inside. It seems WAY too early, but I've never felt anything like that before. What do you think?</p> <p>(As an aside, I'm enjoying my last few days of uncertainty as to whether it's a boy or a girl, whether he/she can hear me yet, whether I can feel him/her. Though I REALLY want to find out this little one's name!) </p>
