How do you know?

Question

How do you know when your baby kicks for the first time? Some say it feels like gas bubbles, popcorn popping, or butterflies, but how do you know for sure it’s not gas? I’ve had gas issues since wayyy before I became pregnant so I guess I’ll never know until they get stronger. This is frustrating lol

Answer

I knew it was her the moment she did it. I was the same way before... how will I know... was that a kick...? When she actually started moving and kicking i knew right away it was her.

Answer

Everyone told me I’d know when I felt it and I was so annoyed by that 😂 But they were right! I knew it right away.

Answer

For me it feels like an involuntary muscle twitch. Like those twiches you can get by your eye. But just one twitch at a time that has moved around a bit.

Answer

It’s different each time! My first two babies I didn’t feel anything real until after 20 weeks, but my 3rd and now this one I could start feelings the little movements around 18 weeks. To me, they just feel like little tugs. Flutters definitely feel like gas and to me it’s impossible to tell the difference. 
BUT enjoy it lol! Cause once that baby starts kicking it’s going to be endless lol! They say sleep while you can before the baby gets here but I say sleep while you can before that baby starts kicking!

Answer

I think it feels like flutters. Or like how it feels when you tap your fingertips lightly on your belly. I've been feeling movement for a few weeks now (I'm currently 18 weeks) but it's also my 2nd baby.

Answer

I’ve been wondering too im 19weeks but don’t think it has yet

Answer

I was so frustrated by this! Never felt like flutters to me.  At first I felt a lot of something similar to gas bubbles (but in uterus area & without gas) which I think was movement but the first morning I felt a kick for sure, I just knew!  It felt different than anything and then it started happening more often

Answer

With my first I didn't feel movement until closer to 22weeks. Keep waiting!
