Am I feeling movement? Opinions please!

Question

I am 16 weeks 6 days, yay!  The past few days I have these semi-sharp throbs (best words to describe feeling?) in my lower abdomen.  It doesn't feel like gas, at all.  It's quick but strong enough for me to actually notice it.. Is this the quickening everyone is talking about?  Help!

Answer

I feel totally the same - Throbs! Like something is pulsing for a 20-30 seconds, sometimes even longer. For the first week I thought it's just blood vessel or something like that. But from reading other girls more and more I think it's a baby :)

Answer

I feel my little girl every night. Sure she move s during say but so light hard notice. She is so active at bedtime. Love it

Answer

Gas pains really shouldn't be sharp nor should the baby's kicks..but I'm sure they feel different for everyone!! I've been feeling my baby girl since 14 and a half weeks and it's felt like either a popcorn pop or a little thump here & there! 😊 with my first daughter, I didn't feel her kick till like 22 weeks!!!!

Answer

I felt my baby move across my fingers one night. 😍

Answer

Yeah, it kind of feels like a muscle twitch, right? I've been getting them like crazy since hitting six weeks, up and down and left and right, this kid is on the move big time. From your description, it definitely sounds like you're feeling baby. You know your body and you know what gas and other things feel like for you, you can tell the difference.
