To ladies who have felt their babies. Muscle spasm/twitch feeling?

Question

I am 16 weeks and feel like I might be just starting to feel little movements. I’ve read people describe them as bubbles, but this feels like a muscle spasm/twitch. I know everyone describes it differently. Does this sound like the early stages of feeling movement? It’s not followed by gas, which I originally assumed it was. I’ve been skeptical since it’s my first pregnancy. TIA

Answer

Yep, sounds like! I've never had it feel like gas or bubbles like I've heard other women say. To me, it feels like muscle twitches until baby is a little bigger and a little stronger 🤗

Answer

Honestly I did think it was gas haha. Or a muscle twitch. It depends I suppose how hard they kick. With my son I thought I had bad gas till my arm was laying across my stomach one day and felt it. I was very surprised!

Answer

Thank you everyone!!

Answer

im not sure if i felt something last night or not. i layed back on my back and it felt so weird as if down near my 'place' had moved and or stretched to near my ribs

Answer

I’m 14 weeks 4 days with my 3rd baby and I can feel him or her moving, sometimes it feels like baby has hiccups.

Answer

I never thought it felt like gas or bubbles like everyone describes. It feels like a muscle twitch and that’s how I’ve always described it! 
I’m 30 weeks now, so it just feels like I’m being kicked but from when I first felt it to about 25 weeks it felt like a muscle spasm

Answer

From 16-18 weeks, it felt like spasms. I was skeptical too! 
Now I’m 22 weeks & feel movements / kicks.
