Feels like baby's doing somersaults!!

[Swanny]

I've been getting kicks/prods and flutters for a few weeks now but today baby must be excited or something!

Got hard prods this morning and now my stomach feels like it's turning over!! You know like when you go over a bumpy bridge in a car but feels stronger than that.

Is this normal?!

Ahh I get this too and I love it! Seems like she's javing loads of fun in there!! I think it's totally normal. Until you're about 30 weeks or so there is loads of room in there for them to spin around and roll over. Enjoy! x (Im 24 + 4 by the way!)

I was explaining to a friend the types of feelings I was getting and she said wow that sounds strong for 17 weeks. I'm starting to think that it's not the baby at all but it's like nothing that I've ever experienced before it's certainly not gas lol.

That's a good sign! You have an active baby!

Yesturday i was at the dentist having my tooth out(big regret, in complete agony).. And my baby begun to kick, punch the works.. I was shaking like a leaf so i think it was his way of saying to me "You will be ok Mum "

Yeah, my bubs does this too and it makes me giggle it's such a strange feeling.

I'm sure she's having a party in there x

My LO does mostly rolls and somersaults! Sometime I swear LO turns completely backwards and upside down. I love it.

I dont think i have felt the somersauts yet but i certainly get the strong kicks and punches xx

I have been having this from 15 weeks Swanny and it has just got stronger and stronger every day - just like you described! I wasn't sure if it definitely was the baby but I went to see a consultant on Monday and he had a feel and used a doppler and he said the baby was kicking and it's movements were really strong.

At first I wasn't sure if I liked the 'going over a bridge and leaving your tummy behind' feeling but now I have got used to it and I love it!
