Baby movement?

Question

16w5d and haven’t felt any flutters like people describe but I do feel parts of my lower abdomen get hard. Not the entire thing but a small area. No pain and it typically goes away within a few seconds. Could this be baby poking me or maybe just muscles stretching and contracting?

Answer

yes! that's the baby

Answer

I didn't feel anything until 23 weeks

Answer

TBH I thought I never felt movement yet but I was wrong I get these painless spams in my lower belly and I never got hem before pregnancy it start weeks ago I just never thought anything of it! Doesn’t feel like butterflies tho lol but the baby was moving!

Answer

If this is your first you may not be able to feel any movement till around 20-25 weeks because you've never experienced it before and you're muscles haven't been stretched like that so your body is experiencing a lot of new changes. I'm pregnant with my second and I started to feel movement around week 16-17 but with my first I didn't start feel movent till week 21-23. Now with the tightening, I get that as well and it does seem like it's the muscles contracting. Also if this is your first your muscle are going to try to keep there shape against all the expansion from the pregnancy which could cause that feeling you're having.

Answer

It could be Braxton Hicks
