Q: Is This the Baby?

Hey this is sorta hard to explain but here goes.

Me and my boyfriend were laying in bed and I had my stomach on his back and he said that he felt my stomach move and I put my hand on my stomach and I felt it too!!!!!
It was sort of like a flutter, almost as if I had gas but I didnt, the thing is, I didnt feel it on the inside, only the outside.

Im 14 weeks pregnant, any suggestions?

I have spoken to a couple of people about the formation of babies and how long it takes etc. On the 13th week the baby starts to form it's limbs e.G legs and arms. Most abortion clinics and surgery's only allow the mother to have an abortion before 13 weeks pregnant because of the baby's formation so for you being 14 weeks, it would have started forming.

By a pretty good educated guess, i'd say it is still a very very young baby to even move inside you, it is still forming properly. I'm guessing around the 18-20th week you could possibly see some signs but I wouldn't know truthfully. 14 weeks sounds a bit too soon to be seeing signs of movement :p

congrats on conceiving the child btw :) (assuming you wanted it lol)

Well no thats not true, the baby starts moving around 8 weeks, at 14 weeks the baby would be swallowing and moving and playing with the umbilical cord,
i've done so much research on this stuff its not funny,
hell I was only 42kg before and I already have a stomach thats popping out :p

No, there is no way you could feel it from the outside at 14 weeks. Most first time preggos don't even feel it from the inside until 18 weeks or so. And from the outside starting at 25 or so weeks.
