Feeling baby move?

Looking for some answers on what it feels like to feel baby start moving for the first time and first pregnancy. Im 18 weeks tomorrow, this morning and now Ive been feeling like these little pulse movements in my lower stomach but a bit stronger than a pulse. I really hope thats her wiggling around!šŸ©·

They start as little pops so it definitely sounds like youā€™re feeling something! If you have an anterior placenta youā€™ll feel movement later. I didnā€™t feel my little girl until around 20 weeks+ xx

@Molly at my 12 week scan she told me my placenta was at the back so hopefully it is my little girl! Thank you xx

When I first started feeling movement it was like little muscle spasms

what you described is usually what it feels like at first :))

Iā€™ve described it as similar to when you have a little gas bubble pop inside you and like what it feels like when your stomach grumbles but lower!

The first time I felt my little guy move it felt like my phone was sitting on my lower stomach vibrating lol (my phone was in my hand so it scared me lol) and then when his movements got stronger it felt like a muscle spasm or like gas Iā€™m 29+4 now and when he moves it jiggles my whole belly and my boobs itā€™s insane and the other day he found my belly button and that was the nastiest feeling ever šŸ¤®

I didnā€™t start to feel my son till 23 weeks because his placenta was blocking him. Ever since then it has been a lot itā€™s so weird and amazing. Youā€™ll know when you really feel your baby, people have so many ways to describe how it feels but I donā€™t think you truly can describe it bc everyone is different. But youā€™ll know truly, especially when youā€™re baby gets bigger and your close to finding out.

16 weeks I felt the first little movement

Im a first time mom and have a anterior placenta so I was told Iā€™d more than likely not feel baby move till I was closer to 20 weeks maybe after, but to my surprise I started feeling my baby move at 18 weeks it was very light at first what you described is the most perfect way to describe it. Itā€™s like a pulse/pops but more stronger! So I definitely agree youā€™re feeling baby move ā˜ŗļø they get so much stronger though haha Iā€™m 28 weeks and 4 days, and itā€™s like sheā€™s trying to bust out my stomach at times and she moves my whole stomach and I can physically see her arms or legs stretch, it makes my stomach stretch with those stretches of hers (kinda scary looking!) She recently found my ribs and those kicks and punches are not pleasant at all lol!

The first few times I felt it, it felt like that feeling you get when your stomach drops when you go down a hill fast or on a roller coaster. šŸ˜‚

i can describe it has imagine you have a twitch in your eye or your leg. but in your stomach. at first. and then it starts to feel like a flutter. and then you start to feel like your being kicked and punched in the ribs and youā€™ll know for sure that itā€™s movement šŸ¤£šŸ¤£

My first at 16weeks felt like them barrel rides in a theme park like spinning round was so strange and my second now heā€™s just started with movements but just felt kicks first x

My partner asked me this & I told him it feels like being the fish bag going home with a bunch of fish in it from the pet storešŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

In the beginning, itā€™s like little muscle spams or twitches. After that itā€™s hard taps. Then huge kicks. And finally itā€™s like youā€™re holding a big fish in a plastic bag just flipping around. Thereā€™s really no room for them to do anything but rolling lol

@Autumn omg I explain it this way too!! šŸ˜­ itā€™s so accurate
