What did it feel like when your baby kicked?

Question

FTM here so I'm curious how you'd describe the first movements/kicks.

Today I had the *strangest* feeling--like bubbles right inside my vagina (maybe where the cervix is?), but the bubbles didn't come out and the sensation went away after 20 or so seconds. What might that be? It seems too low to be baby but I am not really sure.

I'm 18+5 today.

Answer

Muscle twitches

Answer

Earlier kicks felt like popcorn or bubbles popping kind of and now they are much more distinct.

Answer

Butterflies, or like a fish inside swimming. Was very strange but so gentle😌

Answer

Popcorn or bubbles

Answer

Popcorn popping in my belly lol.

Answer

I felt bubbles but wasn't sure if it was gas or the baby, and then when I actually felt the first kick at 19+3 there wasn't any doubt that it was the baby, it was a totally new sensation. Very similar to a muscle spasm, but in one tiny spot, and it also sort of felt like a mild pulling sensation on the inside. You'll definitely know when it happens!! That was right at a week ago for me and now I feel it all the time :)

Answer

Felt like gas bubbles but they wouldn't go away. As the weeks progressed it was like a muscle twitch that wasn't normal so I knew it was baby right off the bat. Now she kicks way harder and up near my ribs and down low in my pelvic area

Answer

To me it felt like a muscle twinge. It was very low like a good 3-4 inches below my belly button.

Answer

The first movements I around 18 weeks felt like muscle twitches. Then, around 23 weeks or so, baby moved into a breech position and some of the kicks felt like bubbles in the vaginal area - it's super weird!

Answer

Around that time kicks felt like butterflies, like a tickling sensation lol
