re: Baby moving

Quoting Jessi Engel:" How far along were u or r u when u first felt ur baby moving and what did it feel like?"

Well I guess I am different than everyone else.. Mine started btwn 16-17 weeks but I really knew it was my little man at 17 weeks to me it felt like vibrations in my belly like he had a cell phone lol and a fish swimming. I am currently 22 weeks and I feel him everyday but maybe once a week he has a lazy day he moves but not as much. It is really hard to explain b\c everyone describes the movements different.

ah ok.

I never got that flutter feeling but i felt small little kicks at 17 weeks and my mom could feel them from the outside.

About 17 weeks when I felt some flutters and now that Im 26 weeks I feel everything from kicks and jabs to flips and I can tell when they have hiccups..its a great feeling..I love watching my stomach and seeing my stomach move

About 14 weeks... felt like little tiny "fluttering" in my abdomen. I kept wondering if it was a nerve twitch or the real thing. Lol.

I felt flutters in the lower stomach at 16wks, but I didn't know if it was the baby, or gas lol...felt the first hard kick around 24wks

I felt it a lot earlier with my first than I did with my second. My first baby I felt at 11 weeks, but she liked to hang out behind my pubic bone, so there was this weird pressure that made me waddle when I walked and it was a flutter almost like a tickle on the inside of my body. By 16 weeks I was feeling little jabs, and by 23/25 weeks you could see the movements on the outside. They felt similar to the jabs I felt at 16 weeks, but much stronger. With the baby I'm currently carrying, I didn't really start feeling anything until I hit 18 weeks...I'd felt a few flutters but nothing concrete. Now at 26 weeks you can see baby moving from the outside.

There are a lot of contributing factors to when you feel movement. I've had abdominal surgery (they did a laproscopic surgery to remove cysts and endometriosis) and where the scar tissue is I don't really have any fully functionin nerve endings, so if baby hangs out there, I don't feel much movement at all...the placement of your placenta can affect when and how much movement you feel too.

15 weeks, and it felt like my stomach was dropping or something...sorta like that feeling you get when you go on a roller coaster. Now at 26 weeks, he's SO crazy! He even makes the Dr.'s laugh when they try to use the doppler. They said he kicks it, runs off...comes back and kicks it again...lol

My lil girl last night wouldnt stop moving. It was hard to sleep between the sunburn n her kicking/hitting.
