Baby moving or a trapped nerve?

[Nicola]

Ok silly question....but what does initial baby moving movements feel like? I've had 2 'feelings' this afternoon (both in the last half hour) very low down almost knicker line type area....feels like a fluttering, perhaps a trapped nerve? - well it feels like that anyway but a mild version.

What's the verdict? Possibly baby or a trapped nerve? I'm 16 weeks on Wednesday so I figured a tad too early to feel anything yet??

Sounds like baby to me hun. When i first felt baby it felt like flutterings and then more of a tapping sensation.

I didn;t feel proper babky 'kicks' until 21 weeks Nicola, and everyone said it was because it's my first baby and so it takes longer for you to feel them Though I did get the bubbly feelings earlier on, which like yours I believe are LO letting you know they're there

hun that's your baby moving... it does feel like fluttering, if it was a trapped nerve it would hurt

Gosh how utterly exciting...must write it down in my pregnancy journal. It certinally doesn't hurt it's like an internal tickling/fluttering feeling. I can't believe it, 15 weeks and 4 days pregnant and I felt our little pudding move for the first time. It's a completely amazing experience!!!

Awww gone all soppy/mushy now!!

it sounds like what/where i first felt it, kinda like a bubble popping inside me

Sounds very much like your LO to me Enjoy the feelings. They'll probably get firmer and more frequent over the next few weeks.

I'm 16 weeks today and have been feeling the exact same things you've been describing for a few days now (although i've been too embarrassed to tell anyone in case it was just wind hahah). it's nice to know someone else has been wondering about it too!

i didnt definately feel it until 21+6 weeks, and it feels like something popping inside me. it was very strange the first time i sat up straight and gasped, half thinking something had burst!
i may have felt flutters before that, but just though it was tummy rumbling or something!!

I am feeling them more and more frequently now, it's a precious feeling knowing babes is growing and wiggling around...awww!!

You are right Nicola. I have had a few kicks as I'm sitting at the pc. It's a really nice feeling knowing LO is communicating with me in the only way he can right now....and I love it
