Feeling the Baby

To me it feels like someone is doing it my stomach lightly or popping.

My mom gave me a perfect example.... When you catch a bug/butterfly in your hand. I was like exactly!!!!!!

It is so neat to be able to feel your baby move though

I felt her when I drank alot of oj, the doctor said it was from all the acid. It feels to me like...A bump. If I lift up my shirt, I can see my stomach move. It looks like its jumping.

It must be very exciting to feel your child move for the first time. I am 17 weeks pregnant, but I haven't felt anything yet. It's my first child, though, so I think it could take a while...

At 16 weeks I can feel the baby moving. I would describe it as popping. My hubby can feel it and my mom got to feel it two days ago. Before I even explained what it felt like to her so jumped and said, "wow, it feels like bubbles popping!" it's a wonderful feeling. I've mostly stopped drinking caffine but the first time I felt the baby was last week after I had had a cup of tea. I know he/she moves a lot because the last two ultrasounds i've had he/she looked like they were dancing.

Aww...They looked like the ywere dancing? :) that's cute, and really neat. Is htis your first pregnancy? When did you feel baby moving? Like how far along were you the first time you felt baby moving? I'm 14 weeks and can't wait to feel baby moving/quickening.

From what I remember it was about 4 months, back then we counted months not weeks. But the quickening feels like the butterfly in the stomach. And right after the quickening you feel little tiny kicks or bubbles.
Then before you know it youll be saying "hey, could you move that foot outta my rib cage??"

wonderful to hear about the baby's moving--i always thought that was the best part. I loved it. I had one who hickupped all the time and I would drink something to try and make him stop.

Right after drinking or eating something sweet--stay still and listen you might just feel your baby for the first time. I remember the hospital giving me sprite to try and make the baby move.

I also think we miss some of the kicks if the baby is facing towards our back.

yea the dancing was adorable! This is my first pregnancy and i'm 17 weeks now. The first time I felt the baby was at about 14 weeks. It was just once and my stomach was under heat. It felt like butterflies. Then at about 16 weeks I stated to feel it more and more. My mom and hubby have been able to feel it a couple of times. It seems to be getting higher in my belly and stronger every time. If this is your first pregnancy and you're realatively thin, you will probably start feeling it pretty soon. Its the greatest feeling ever!

I'm nervous everyone is talking about feeling there babie's moving but .. I'm 18 weeks exactly..And I still haven't felt my baby moving.. I'm 17 and this is my 1st child.. And I don't know exactly what I should be feeling.. Like I feel things sometimes but I don't know .. Can anyone offer some help :(

I'm 15 weeks pregnant and think I felt my baby moving a little bit last night and today.....But i'm not sure-as stupid as that sounds.....This is my first pregnancy so it's hard for me to tell because I don't know when the soonest you can feel it is.
It kinda felt like something moving around in my stomach......Kinda gasy but it wasn't gas...I know that for sure.
Any advice would be great!

Thanks....

Married 10 months, 21.....

Im 17 weeks pregnant with my second one....I started to feel tiny little gas like feelings or as u guys have explained it butterflys in my stomach about 2 weeks ago....My midwife told me I wouldnt be feeling them yet until she put her hand on my belly yesterday n felt them herself. Lol
with my first I didnt feel anything until about 19 weeks but that migh of been because I didnt really know what it felt like.
It is awesome to feel them move the first time I just wish my bf could put his hand on my tummy and feel them....He hasnt yet because everytime he does he/she stops moving lol.

M 25 weeks pg n I started feelin the baby move when I was about 18 weeks it felt like gas bubbels lol n its my frist so I was a little confussed n asked the doc. N she said yup that would be ya son movein lol its not so great to be able to keep my hand on my belly n just feel him kick his lil legs around...

Hi everyone, I am new to posting. This is my first time. I was just wondering if anyone has ever felt the butterfly/bubble feeling as high up as right under their ribs? I had that for over an hour last night, but it seems too high up to be the baby. I thought the baby was below my belly button. Confused? Any thoughts?

i had sex June 6.......July 25 i had a light period 1 half day that screwed up on me and then i havent had a period since then. August i was lil sick like not feeling good but it wasnt to bad. My friend is concern so i was on here askin for advice. i have been eating a lot and mom will ask me if im getting my period but i never do. my boss asked if i was gaining weight...i gain weight in my stomach.......i been craving reese pass 2 weeks....i was at work other day and i got cramps as i was getting a period but they faded away but i never got my period, i been drinking a lot of juices, not much on soda like i was, im gasy, nausea once in a while, i dont have vomiting, bathroom all time or breast soreness like peoples should, at work i kept smellin roasted peanut butter and i work in dog groom shop lolz, i was sitting here and it felt like bubbles in stomach, so pass few days is the same, but i feel like bubbles in my tummy dont know if gas or what sometimes its in the center my tummy, or other parts my stomach it all different, like a bloop bloop or constant bubbles, i dont know how to describe it...pass few nights i been tossin and turning and cant sleep or ill wake up on my back...i been eating a lot and my mom looks at me like dam you on a seafood diet (see food and eat it), i woke up 6am once i wanted pizza lol...it never occurred to me that i could be pregnant i guess i did not want to think about it but my friend brought it up so im in the verse of dont know what to do or think, other night i went to bed and i asked God to give me a sign if i was pregnant or not and that night i had a dream that someone gave me a white beanie teddy bear and it had a blue shirt on and it said "Its A Boy" crazy....any opinions

Well I truly think you should take a pregnancy test.. That is the only for sure way to tell... Keep us posted!
