Movement?!?

[futuremummy237]

Hello! Just wondered if you ladies could offer an opinion...

About 2 weeks ago when I was lying in bed I had this really weird flipping sensation in my lower tummy, and then later that day it happened again when I was driving away from mothercare (of all places).

Then on Thursday day I felt a fluttering in my lower belly which I am sure was baby, it was like can of pop being opened or something. It definitely wasn't wind (I've had a lot if experience with that since being pregnant, one if those wonderful sides of it everyone forgets to mention).

Now I am constantly getting these little feelings like someone is tapping in my lower tummy, but they hurt the tiniest bit. Is thus baby movements, and do they normally hurt a little bit?

I should also mention, I'm only 15 and a half weeks pregnant (although my bump looks way bigger)!! Should I be feeling movement this early on? I know they say if you have had a baby before then you can, and I have been pregnant but lost my baby boy at 16 weeks, so does thus count in this instance?

Sorry for the essay, some opinions would be great because I feel some pregnancy paranoia coming on ha! X

I've had these feelings too. Popping is a great way to describe it. I'm only 16 weeks.
Sorry I can't tell you if it's movements or not but just wanted to say your not alone I'm feeling the exact same things xxx

Hi ladies,

That is definitely baby movement - that is exactly how mine started and I was around 16 weeks at the time too

I'm almost 20 weeks now and the movement now feels more like I am being proded by a finger on the inside of my tummy - I wouldn't say it "hurts" as such but it can be uncomfortable x

Sounds like baby movements to me! Yay! Xx

 

[Lauren84]

Sounds like the baby moving around in there xx

Ah so it's not just me going crazy? How exciting! Thanks ladies! X

I've been getting exactly the feelings you've described, and put it mostly down to movements, but i think there may also be feelings relating to womb stretching, as i keep getting really strong pulling pains too, not painful but def uncomfortable. Due to crazy paranoia, i checked the hb with the doppler this morning and i think baby was asleep as hb was 134, which would fit i guess with the stretching theory?

There is certainly a lot noone tells you about!!
