How would you exactly describe the feeling of your baby’s movements in your tummy?

Question

I am a FTM and I really cannot tell if it’s the baby that I am feeling or if it’s just gas or something else?? I’m not sure? I’m 18w4d. Can you ladies describe what I should be feeling around this stage? Thank you!

Answer

I’m pretty sure at this point it’s baby. 
When I felt my daughter move for the first time it felt like gas but then I knew I didn’t have gas. It feels funny lol

Answer

So I was around that far along when I’d feel it first thing in the morning. It felt like a gliding motion/fishy motion, like something briefly rubbing along my tummy.

Answer

For me when baby just happened to touch the front of my stomach it would feel like a little fish flipping around in there lol. Her kicks though were very clear flicks from the inside.

Answer

For me it went from sort of like a squirrel scurrying around to an aggressive popcorn type feeling haha it’s weird. Not sure how to describe it exactly.

Answer

Little flutters, heartbeat like feeling. A painless pop. I felt baby kick for the first time around 18 weeks as well!

Answer

It feels like gas for me , but you know it's not gas because you're not farting or anything lol.

Answer

The best way I can explain it was it felt like someone flicking me from the inside just a little “thud”. Everyone says if feels like gas but mine did not feel like that. I didn’t feel her until 19 weeks and some days. You’ll know when you feel your baby move. It may take a few days once it starts but the repetition of the movement you’ll get familiar with. Give it a little more time. I’m a FTM also and I’m now 23 weeks and 3 days and it’s very very obvious it’s her. ❤️❤️❤️ It really is almost unexplainable.
