What does your baby movements feel like?

Question

I've heard the flutters described but I'm wondering what else people have felt? I'm 19 weeks and I think I feel baby but having a hard time distinguishing from the myriad of other new pains, stretching, indigestion etc.

Answer

Mine was more like taps. I never had the flutters people talk about

Answer

To me it just feels like taps and kicks from the inside. Literally like someone is tapping you from inside.

Answer

Before pregnancy, my muscles would twitch frequently. When I started feeling kicks I thought they were twitches but have now realized they were actually kicks. The difference for me was a twitch happened repeatedly in the same area; whereas, a kick happens one at a time.

Answer

My baby’s first movement felt like a snake against my lower belly. Like his back swam against it

Answer

I never felt flutters. At the end of 17 weeks I swore I felt actually kicks.  It didn’t feel like anything else. And that’s what it ended up being.

Answer

The first time I distinctly felt my baby move, it felt like goldfish swimming around in my belly

Answer

19w2d and it feels like little bubbles dancing around inside my tummy, occasionally I feel a few solid taps here and there. But my placenta is apparently on the top kinds in front, which is why everything I feel is super low down. 
If I lay on my tummy, it definitely feels like someone tapping on my insides. It's so weird 😂

Answer

Mine feels like gas movements on the sides and taps on the front.

Answer

I’ve never had flutters either it was more taps or turning feelings x

Answer

I’ve felt little bubbles popping every now and then, sometimes tapping and then sometimes it felt like someone brushing their finger along the inside of my tummy. Last night I was laying down and felt a full on movement! It felt like a weird muscle twitch, but we had the Doppler on the baby and it was absolutely them moving! It’s so strange to explain, but sure is a great feeling!
