I've read that first time moms may have a harder time noticing movements early, but that thinner ones may notice sooner (I'm definitely on the very petite side).

For the past maybe week but especially in the past few days (I hit 16 weeks on Tuesday) I've noticed a lot of bubbles that could just be gas/digestion stuff... But I've also felt this occasional twitch that feels like a bigger bubble or popcorn popping. It always seems to be just below my belly button, sometimes an inch or so to one side. Sometimes I feel a little something like that elsewhere but it always seems to be strongest right there. 😮😍 I've been really trying to pay attention to recognize this because the whole pregnancy has been SO easy, and while I consider myself extremely lucky, it's a very long wait between appointments to make sure everything is okay.

How and when did you first recognize movement, especially with your first? I've seen a lot of mention of the popcorn feeling so I think I'm starting to understand. 😁
