Okay I it possible to feel some movement this early on. I knw you're supposed to feel and look pregnant sooner with every pregnancy. Help!!!!!!

After I had posted this on ehealth I spoke to the nurse and I mentioned what I was feeling she said the only thing it could be is the extra blood flowing in to the uetrus. I can't believe its baby that I am feeling I think its too early.

Every now and then I get this funny feeling too. I wouldn't call it a butterfly sensation, but I like the idea that my bump is already moving around.

Had a scan on thursday and saw bump moving around....He even put his hand up when I coughed! So amazing...Can't wait to feel him in my tummy for definate!

I am 3 months and my mother was asking me if I felt butterflies or a bubbly feeling in my stomach I felt that a few times when I was laying down. She said that's probably the baby b/c she felt that when she was around 3 months. I also read that in one of the pregnancy article that I read.

Fluttering - 1st Trimester
I am having fluttering sensations at only 10 weeks! I looked on the web and everyone says the earliest is 15 weeks. This is my first baby, but I am certain it is the baby's movements.

Anyone else out there this early in pregnancy having fluttering???

I read that when people who are thin get pregnant they feel the movements more.

Yes I felt my baby moving early, although it wasn't anything like feeling the baby kicking me or anything like that, but it's the feeling of something in there moving up and down. A few times while I was laying down I saw a little bump at my right side of my lower abdomen right under my belly button and I felt it and that side felt harder than the left side of my abdomen. I am certain that's my baby. I have been feeling little feelings there at that same spot for about 2-3 weeks now.

My Belly Is Moving
Mia!!! I have had exactly the same!!!! I also noticed a bump on my left side just below by belly button!!! I tapped it gently while lying down, and the fluttering that followed was heart warming!!!

I don't know about how thin you need to be, though I am somewhat of a stick insect myself, so you could have a point.

Jill1!!

How far along are you? I am pretty skinny myself, although I am starting to look like a got a fat belly now (i don't look pregnant) I just lost my waist and look a little round in the middle.

At first I didn't know if it could have been the baby b/c I read everywhere that you can feel the baby until 5-6 months, but now I am sure that's what it is. Sometimes I even feel like a popping in there. At first I dindn't think this was the baby either, but I just read last night that sometimes you feel like there's pop corn popping and that's the baby. I am soo excited!!

My Belly Is Moving
Mia,

i am 11 weeks!! I too am skinny, but have recently lost my hips and my belly is starting to look noticeable. The only good thing is I work with 15 men, and thankfully they are not so observant.

I am having the same popping and fluttering sensations so it must be the baby as we can't both be having the same thing.

I have my 12 week scan booked in on the 4 nov so can't wait to finally see my baby!!! So excited. :d
