    I am 18 weeks and I have been feeling my baby for about a week, but it took till now for me to admit it wasnt just gas bubbles. I think this whole butterfly comp. isn't even close to how it felt for me anyway. Mine feels like bubbles popping or the rumble that you get when your hungry except there is no noise and of coarse your not hungry. I tell ya this is my first and it is the strangest sweetest most amazing thing I have experienced. If you are this far along lay on your left side in a quiet room focus on your stomach and the feelings and within about 10 min. you should feel something. Congrats!!!!

    I'm pretty sure I felt the first movements around 16 weeks. Like little gas bubbles. But now at 20 weeks 5 days, I can definatly tell that they are kicks and punches! I can even feel it from the outside. It's wonderful but sometimes it feel really weird! And sometimes it gets a bit much. But I welcome every movement because it reassurs me that the baby is doing well.

    I haven't felt any kicks yet and I was told I wouldn't feel that until after 20 weeks but I have felt movement in which I thought was gas. Sometimes it does feel like a small fluttering in your belly.

    You can start feeling your baby as early as 5 months, and it feels funny like if you had a little fish inside of you and little by little you start feeling your baby kicking and moving all the time, it is a wonderful feeling.

    It depends on a variety of factors. I'm a bigger girl, so I didn't feel my brat move until I was almost 7 mo. along. I've been told it feels different for everyone, but at first it felt like something was crawling in there, gave me the creeps actually, lol. And kinda tickled at the same time. Until she grew enough to give me a good kick, then I loved it. Good luck.

    It was usually around 16 weeks... felt like popcorn popping. It is so awesome! At first you may not recognize it, but with time you get to know your baby. As their leg bones develop, the sensation will grow.

    The amazing thing about my babies' movements is that they all have stayed true to their prenatal personalities!

    that's achieveable, even regardless of the undeniable fact that for the period of all likelihood no longer likely that early. I warning: at this factor, your toddler is in fact shaped like a peanut now. There are no limbs totally developed yet. I hate to assert that's impossible, regardless of the undeniable fact that. And, It additionally relies upon on what being pregnant it is for you. maximum 2nd/third, and so on time mom's be conscious kicks earlier 'reason they understand what it extremely is like. And, their ligaments, muscular tissues, and epidermis are looser from the 1st being pregnant. yet at this factor, i might say what you felt grew to become into in line with danger a "transforming into discomfort" that gets worse because of fact the time is going by utilizing (no longer insufferable), and/or gas. good success! quickly you would be complaining approximately him no longer getting his feet out of your ribs! LOL!
