Is it possible to have seen the baby kick at 17 weeks 4 days Pregnant?

Over the last week I have been feeling a few little flutters, but mostly had put that down to gas or something, then, on Wednesday I definatly felt two very distinct little taps. I thought that HAS to be baby! Anyway, then last night I felt a flutter / tap again, when I was watching telly in bed. I pulled my top up and I swear I felt another little tap and at the same time, the skin on that part of my abdomen (quite low and slightly to the right) twitched! Do you think that I could have SEEN the baby move? Or am I being mad? Thanks for you advice in advance!!

    I felt my baby move at 14 weeks, when I told the nurse she said she doubted it but i then turned out to be having twins in which case it was quite possible that I was feeling them move. I'm not suggesting that you are having twins! but it sounds as though you are feeling the first movements. Enjoy and best wishes with your pregnancy.

    I'm guessing you mean 17 weeks and 4 days, not that you're aged 17 and are 4 days pregnant, as it is impossible to feel the baby move that early, it's impossible to even know you're 4 days pregnant! Lol, I will assume you meant the first thing! It'll be a fair while before you start seeing limbs etc, I can't remember when exactly that started to happen but nowhere near that early, in a few weeks though you'll be able to see your belly twitch when your baby kicks, and in your last trimester you will be able to see bits poking out, some women say they even saw hand and foot prints, I never actually saw the shape of a hand or foot but I felt either fingers or toes on the underside of my bump where I couldn't see in the very late stages!

    Again, yes it is possible, is it your first pregnancy? usually it's about 20 weeks when you first feel kicks in a first pg but it can be earlier in future pregnancies because you know what to look out for. I felt my 2nd baby at 16 weeks, i think i felt her before that too but was also very gassy at the time so didn't want to mistake wind for a kick!

    That is your baby you are feeling. I felt the first few nudges at 18 weeks but there are plenty of women that feel flutters and slight movement well before that. Best of luck and congrats!

    Yes it is perfectly possible, you are not seeing things! This happened to me quite early, about 15-16 weeks. I wasn't just feeling movement, if I watched my belly I could actually see tiny bumps appear from little kicks. Not my imagination either, it does happen earlier than some text books say.

    no darling you are not mad it is very common to see the baby move at around 17 weeks i felt my baby move earlier! it is the weirdest feeling yet the most fantastical feeling ever to feel, knowing that is your child in there moving around that you created it and that everything is okay with it, knowing it is alive is amazing! Good luck with your pregnancy and enjoy all the movemoents

    Yes. this is your baby! From week 16 you can feel your baby quickening. You wont be able to see the movements yet, but in a month or so these will be apparent
