Baby movements or other?

[KirstyD]

Hi all,

How do you KNOW when its baby moving and not other things?

My first baby so not really sure what to expect, im feeling every now and then the odd thing in my tummy area but im not sure if im starting to feel baby or if its like my inside adjusting or little bits of trapped wind or something and im just noticing it more.

Its hard to describe how it feels I guess but how did you know for sure it was baby you were feeling to start with?

Thanks!!

It's difficult to really know for certain at the begining. Some times it can feel like wind moving around your body, if this is closely followed by wind then the chances are it was .

Sometimes it can feel like bubbles popping in your belly, as your pregnancy progresses when you feel that first kick you will know as it is an obvious movement. I first felt mine at 21 weeks and it just continued all evening and night.

It is the best feeling in the world feeling your LO moving around in your belly (also slightly weird), won't be much longer now before you feel definate movements/kicks

Hiya hun, with Taylor last time i felt him kick at 18 weeks, it was actually my oh that noticed it i was oblivious (watching eastenders) lol, this time i can feel the baby, its hard to explain the only way i can describe it is- do you know when you get mad and you get a pulsing beat in your neck or a twitch near your eye that is what it feels like, but in your belly. I have a doppler so when the baby has kicked me i recognise the feeling because i know that it has just happened because i can here it on the doppler. (im so confusing ) Give it a month and you will be moaning because he/she will be kicking you in the most uncomfortable places at the wrong time

This is my first too and I first noticed something moving, like bubbles - very low down, just above my pubic bone and nearly always on the right to begin with.......this was from about 18 weeks and only really noticed it when I had nothing else on my mind!

Since 20 weeks there was absolutely no mistake it was baby, the movement gets very noticeable.

He has recently started kicking and punching higher up, but I still feel most of his movements very low down...there is a regular pattern to his movements now, which is lovely, and I can actually see my stomach move now when he kicks and punches and also feel when he get hiccups - very cute .

I started feeling it last week but it was only very rarely like something was popping inside me down by my pubic bone, the last 3 or 4 days its been really regular. I cant feel it when im walking round but when im sitting or lying down its really regular now, baby has some quiet times when im guessing its sleeping but it even woke me up this morning! Making the most of it before it starts to properly kick me then ill be up all night! xx
