how do you know if it's baby?

[hopefulmummy]

Hi girls

so, I have no idea if i have felt the baby yet. I thought I did, now I'm not sure. I'm 20 weeks 5 days.

do they feel a bit like a tiny muscle spasm?

i've heard all the, "it feels like butterflies, it feels like bubbles, it feels like gas" but none of that really rings home to me. Plus, I have so much gas atm that I wouldn't know what was what!!

I have been wondering the same thing lol how do you know it's baby?
Obviously later on it will be obvious but how do you know earlier on

Its kinda hard to explain early on, but for me at first it did feel like gas or like someone flicking me from the inside but lightly.

Its never felt like butterflies to me...i thought it was wind to start of with but when they got harder i knew. Feels like big flicks now lol, last night i was like bubbles it felt like my belly was going crazy x

The first time I felt anything I posted on here and the only way i could describe it was as a twitch so I understand the muscle spasm. I was the same with it not ringing home feeling like bubbles but when I felt it more I could sort of understand a bit coz a few times after I thought it was wind. I'd imagine it's defo the baby, hopfully it starts getting a bit strong now xxx

Although I'm pretty early on, I too can feel what can only be described as a mini muscle spasm. It's just underneath the belly button and I only ever feel it when lying down. I'm hoping it is the beginning of being able to feel the baby, but as I say, I'm really early on xx

thanks girls

I have had feelings everywhere, including around my belly button!

just want to know for sure... x

I'm not sure if I've felt baby move but I have felt sort of little flicking feelings just over from my belly button, don't know if that's too high up though.. Might just be gas lol!

That's exactly how it's felt to me at the beginning with my other pregnancy's, it's hard to explain but I always knew what it was when i felt it. Can't wait to feel this little bubs move

 

[Richarlsbump]

Mine started off as what felt like little muscle spasms or a pulse and now I can feel bubs rolling around, kicking and fidgeting like it's daddy lol x

ok the last couple of days it seems I can suddenly feel baby
Im convinced thats what I am feeling, it seems obvious now

its very hard to be sure with your first as you tend to think its some thing else, and only when it continues an then get strong you think hooooooooooo thats what that was,

thats y its diff with second coz kind of know from first, mine feels like tiny lil poking from the inside, now i can just feel when she moves or kicks or pokes its lovely x

ho and if you tend to get a lot of funny feelings aka gas, bubbles ect at night that will be your baby as u feel it more later when u start to relax

 

[teampc]

yeah i feel it more when I lie down in bed or get relaxed on the sofa
