I think I feel kicking!!!

[katiecakes]

Hi everyone! I am 15+5 and earlier
This week I started to feel little sensations like someone was poking me. They hurt a little but not much. They would occur and then stop, and now they are getting more frequent. This is my first
Pregnancy so idk what it feels like but I don't think it's gas because I have never felt any sensations like this before. Could it be kicking? What does kicking feel like? It doesn't feel like a butterfly as some people describe!

I felt my first move at 16 weeks and I just knew it was him. Not butterflies, more like bubbles popping. I don't think that's a great explanation either though. A lovely feeling isn't it?

Sometimes it feels like butterflies for me or like a bug crawling on you and other times they are more like little pokes and nudges. I wouldn't doubt its kicking

This is my first pregnancy as well and the first movements felt like muscle twitches/spasms rather than bubbles or butterflies.

Mines feel like nudges, and bubbles popping.

I describe it the same way as Junbait. Like muscle twitches inside your tummy.

Also squirmy sometimes. Haha!

I felt my first movements around 15 weeks too and at first it was really slight, like someone poking me lightly from the inside. Now it's undeniably baby moving about. Feels sometimes like gas bubbles bursting and sometimes like an actual movement, like baby is doing a little dance!
Midwife listened to the heartbeat the other day and there were these 'blip' noises, quite a lot of them, and she said that was baby moving around

I can't wait to feel my first movements but as its my first its really difficult when you don't know what you are looking for. My sis in law says its like spiders crawling inside your tummy! Eeek!

This is my first baby too and I was in my 16th week when I first felt movements. I thought it was a bit early then so didn't really admit it to anyone 'cause I thought they'd laugh at me! But then the feelings just got stronger and stronger! To me at first it felt like a little goldfish swimming around inside me! And a little bit like gas, but not at all painful..

I'd say it's like a fish swimming in water feeling.

Sounds like kicking to me! I first felt the little bean 15weeks and 5 days and it hasn't stopped since lol. Congrats!

Of this is your first just wait! It gets better! With my first two by 25-28 weeks I could feel all the movements! It got to the point where I could feel him doing flips! And the pushing out! By the time I was 32-35 weeks Anyone looking could SEE feet, elbows, knees, and hands pushing out! I've not felt movement yet with #3 at 13 weeks but can't wait!!

thanks everyone! havent been feeling a lot lately, so im thinking maybe that wasnt it?!

 

[babe2ooo]

Aww that's nice.

It definitely still could have been. When baby is still so small it is easy for him to turn in towards your back or move around to get more room so you won't feel him consistently.
