What does it feel like when baby moves for the first time?

Question

I’m 16+5 and I’ve been feeling what I think could be the baby but it’s my first pregnancy and I read that you don’t start feeling them until 18/20 weeks
What do they feel like?

Answer

Like a weird little bubble popping inside. I'm not sure how to describe it, but it doesn't feel like anything else I have ever felt, and I was pretty sure that was what it was, confirmed when he got a little bigger and I could feel it a little stronger.

Answer

Mine felt like muscle twitches

Answer

Pretty much like gas bubbles, you can tell it's the baby by the pattern it moves in. It's kinda tricky to tell if it's the baby or gas at first but you'll be able to tell when you're further along.

Answer

A light flutter. Almost like butterflies in your tummy. At first you may not notice it’s your baby.

Answer

Little flutters here and there. Not consistent at all but noticeable. I felt them around 15/16wks with my first. I had a posterior placenta so I felt everything a lot earlier than those with an anterior placenta.
