What does quickening (early baby movements) feel like?

Kimber • 1st time soon-to-be mommy with my rainbow. In- home health aide.

I am 18 weeks along and for the past few weeks I've been feeling "poking like cramps". That's the best way I can describe it.

I'm not sure if that's my son moving around because I hear movements feel like "bubbles" and "fluttering"- which sound gentle to me.

What I'm feeling doesn't hurt but they feel a little uncomfortable. Is this my little one pulling on the cord or something? He's only approx. 5.5 oz so I can't imagine his legs are that strong yet. FTM here. Thanks mommas.
