    I am 19 weeks pregnant and a few weeks ago I was having so much gas, so I couldnt relly feel anything. But now when I lay on my back or drink really cold water I feel like little pops. They are not dramatic kicks but like little pops. I know it has to be the baby because of the fact that I dont have gas to follow.

    I had a scare tho the other day. I had been feeling him a lot for a few days, then all of a sudden for 2 days I felt nothing. I freaked out and went to the dr. and he told me some days you may not feel anything, that the baby still has plenty of room to grow. Once they are big enoughh they get uncomfortable and move alot.

    I can also tell when he is turning or rolling, I get presure on my bladder and I feel like I have to pee so bad but really I dont.

    Hope this helped!

    Well...I guess you could say it feels like a slight touch on the inside of your abdomen or right below your belly button towards the surface. Very light. You'll know if it's the baby, because the same sensation will happen more and more often and in different spots, as days pass. It's a wonderful feeling. ^_^

  • I first felt mine around 17 weeks. It almost feels like somebody is trying to tickle you from the inside!

    Don't be confused for gas. I thought so many times that it was the baby, when really it was just gas.

    Just wait until your around 25 weeks and you REALLY feel things going on!

    With my first pregnancy, I started getting the butterfly feeling at about 14 wks. I knew for sure it was her when it felt like someone was flicking my belly at 17 wks.

    With this pregnancy, I can already feel them moving. My fiance just started barely feeling them, but he knows there there.
