Is this WIERD???

[Madwolf3]

Ok, so this isn't my first baby... so I'm comparing this to last time LOL. But is this wierd??? I'm barely 16 weeks along... I was laying on the couch on my back, and all of a sudden my belly gets really tight and I can see one part rising up and getting really hard! I know this is normal with baby moving LATER ON, but at 16 weeks???? How is that possible??? I've felt a couple twitches and bumps from baby but I didn't think baby could be big enough to visibly move like that!!! Has this happened to anyone else this early???

I started feeling movement around 17 weeks and I don't think I actually saw my stomache move until around 20 or 21 weeks but it could be

Ive seen my belly move when Junior kicks but its just sort of a twitch if that makes sense. It might be different if this is your second? I know you're supposed to feel movement earlier so you might be able to see it too?

you are supposed to feel earlier with 2nd pregs cause you no what to expect but not sure about seeing it!!!! but i but you feel excited now i would.

I'm definately excited, but a little nervous about it! It was so wierd! I was thinking maybe they had my due date off, but I've had 3 scans so far so you'd think they'd have noticed by now if baby was bigger! Luckily I have an appointment on Monday. I just hope the doctor doesn't look at me like I'm crazy LOL!

Its possible when you have had a previous baby

I've been feeling baby move for a while now but even more the past 2 days but have never been looking at my belly when it happens. I wil have to watch my belly now and see if I can see that too

You definatly are meant to feel your baby move sooner the 2nd time around. Mine forst made my belly move at 19 weeks but it was just a ripple. I did have large(ish) bits of my belly stick up and go hard at about 12 to16 or 17 weeks though because I normally have strong stomach muscles and they were doing strange things like tightening up but not like spasming - just tightening or going in strange shapes.

Thanks so much girls! Makes me feel a million times better (and a lot less crazy, lol)!

Good to read this...I felt the same and was worried I was having a MASSIVE baby as I am only 17 weeks, think it is just muscle tightening though and movement beneath other organs I think...also stomach does like that if I need to pee!

This sounds more like a braxton hix contraction than baby moving, to me... I get them all the time.
