Baby movements at 16 weeks

[Vicky_Gazerimmer]

Hey All I have been getting some weird feelings where the baby is past few days, rippley feelings just every now and then usually if I am talking or singing.

Is it too early for me to be feeling bubs move? And how would you all describe the movements, cause I would hate to think I am getting excited over wind!!

 

[Vicki83]

Not at all, i think most people think it's just wind at first, but it's bubs alright!!

Yeah - sounds like it could be baby's first movements being felt there!! How Exciting!!! Mine started as like bubblling/ wind, but not, if you know what I mean?That was around 16/17 weeks.

Now I get the occassional popping feeling which I think is where an elbow or foot prods me as its moving, no big kicks or anything yet, but I just had a weird feeling that was almost as though the baby had had a fright, it just kind of did a big movement - hard to explain - as though it was jumping

Yeah it starts off feeling like wind and butterflies! Yay!! 1st movements for u hun!!
Its so hard to determine whats baby and whats not, but as u progress u will know! (especially in the ribs! )

I started feeling 'popping' at about 17 weeks. It was very light & easy to miss if I wasn't looking for it at first. Now he/she won't stop! It's a fantastic feeling though, I love lying in bed & feeling baby moving.

[Kat@girlracer]

I'm still not convinced I feel anything!!

 

[Jayceesmumma]

[littlebump]

Aww - sounds like it hun. I think it was about 16 weeks when I felt Maddie moving for the first time. You'll feel it more and more now - how exciting!!

Its really odd feeling its quite low down actually where the baby is and in the past any 'wind' feelings I have had have been higher up.
My OH keeps putting his ear to my belly now and listening to whats going on, the baby is near to the surface so its easy to locate the babies heartbeat too which is nice. I dunno whether my OH can really hear it of whether he can hear mine lol

 

[Vicki83]

Ach just let him keep beleiving it is LO's!

 

[kirlykird]

i would def say that is your lo!

Isn't it a great feeling!?

 

[oldermum]

Awww, how nice

That'll be your baba, been feeling mine for a while but didn't want to post it as i thought peeps would say no it can't be.

Could feel my DS at about 12wks, but no butterfly feeling with this one,it all started as pops and all over movement.

Great ain't it,i've felt mine twice today.
