The last couple of days I've had random sensations in my belly that I think might be first flutters!! It feels like someone is running a feather along the inside of my belly. Is this what I think it is??? I'm 17wks, 4 days!
-
Could be! Mine felt like popcorn kernels popping.
-
Mine felt like something going *flop!* It was so weird! I think I was 18 weeks when I first felt something, so you're probably feeling baby!
-
Mine felt like the tingles when you go on a roller coaster. Weird, I know!
-
Mine felt like muscle spasms but obviously on the inside. It was around 16 weeks or so.
-
@FutureMrsMcK: I never thought of it like that but I would say that's very accurate to what I felt as well!
I also felt some really mild, almost... bubbly sensations?
-
@.twist.: It's really hard to describe exactly what that feels like but that was the only way I could describe it--and bubbly, yes!
-
@FutureMrsMcK: yep! It's so hard to explain to others. I tried telling a girlfriend it's like someone is poking me with their knuckle... on the inside. LOL.
-
Could be! Mine started at 17 weeks, and felt like a goldfish swimming around.
-
My friend described it as a bug running on the inside of her skin.
-
Sounds like it! I thought it felt like popcorn popping or carbonation in my belly. Enjoy them. Those first flutters are so amazing
-
I am finally feeling movement, too! I think the popcorn popping is more accurate than flutters. I told my DH that it feels like there is a tiny mouse in there knocking on my uterus!
-
Mine felt like butterflies in my tummy but much lower. Felt them around 17 weeks.
-
Mine felt like muscle spasms
-
Like @blackbird, mine were kind of muscle-spasmy too. Now they are more like nudges or pokes.
-
Mine felt like little gas bubbles. I first felt them at 16 weeks but thought no, that can't be it. Then by 18 weeks I was sure, and knew that I'd been feeling it for a little while.

@Mummystar: mine felt like a goldfish, too. That was the only way I could think to describe it!
@Ocean girl: yay!! My first ones were right around that time. Looking back, I had been feeling them for a few days before I could place what they were. So exciting! -
Mine felt like soda bubbles popping in my belly. It was amazing. I miss those days
-
Ahhh can't wait for this! The August mamas are only a few weeks ahead of me
-
@illumina: I had been so anxious for it to start! Every single day someone different would ask me "Have you felt any movement yet?"
Thanks everyone! Last night while I was laying in bed, I had my had on my belly and felt something more like the popping sensation many of you have described! If I'm still enough, I think DH may be able to feel!!!
