Kicking?!

[Serene123]

I had flutters a few weeks ago and was getting worried I hadn't felt anything lately. But for the past hour I've been having this erm, pulse sort of thing in the bottom of my belly like... It's hard to explain.. Kind of like "POKE!"... Then five minutes later "POKE!" Baby or gas?

You're still quite early to be getting kicks. Most women get them around 18-20 weeks. I started getting my first kicks around 19. Seeing as this is your first as well, chances are it may be gas or just a twitch-- but who knows, you may be getting quite lucky and getting your first kicks.

I think you should ask your ticker that question!

I dont know.. the first time I felt mine I could feel it through me skin and see it.. I never felt the "butterflies" so sorry, I dont know much about that.

I did get butterflies, but that was around 18 weeks

I've had that weird 'pulse' feeling too and wondered if it was the baby or..just a new pulse point.

I've also recently started getting that weird "pulse" feeling. I'm no stranger to the gas feelings now but I still really can't tell the difference either. Usually it becomes obvious within seconds if it's gas but I'm not an expert on colons

I felt my baby this past weds (at 14w4d). Id been feeling pokes for a couple of days and wondered what it was - I only figured it out b/c I was getting an ultrasound at the time when s/he kicked and I felt the poke. my doc said it was possible, too.

so...might be

If you are quite slim you are likely to feel quite early too.....but it does sound like you may have baby doing activities in there

Well I have been getting like this rumbling feeling and a few prods here and there for about a week. Especially when I wake up in the morning, and after Ive had some food. Not very often, like a couple of times a day, but its a definate something.

I asked my midwife and she said it probably is junior because my uterus is high (or something) and Im more likely to feel it when my bladder or stomach is pushing baby forwards.

So I reckon it probably is... congratulations

Also, Im 16 weeks today, and in my ticker it says you should feel something around now

I felt pocks very intense pocks at around 20 weeks but i felt loads of flutters for weeks b4 that . It may well have been baby pocking u
