Hi. im 16+5 wks and since sunday i keep feeling something fluttering in my belly. it always happens when i dont expect it and when i relaxed. it stops as quick as i felt it and if i think about it it doesent seem to happen. i have heard that with your first pregnancy you dont feel anything till you are about 19/20wks. is it the baby moving or is it just gas? hope all mums to be and bumps are doing well. stacey x x x

I'm pregnant with my first and when i read the first movements would feel like bubbles, i didn't really understand, but they feel like wind mixing around in your belly. I started feeling bigger kicks about 21weeks, and now i can see my belly jumping at 27weeks! It's amazing! Hope you and bump are doing well,
All the best Kelsey and Kyler (my baby)!

i feel the same things and im only 14 weeks and 5 days

heya Stacey

that sounds like movements to me, im 10 weeks pregnant with number 4 and i cant wait to feel movements, but what you described sounds like baby movements. i found with my first whenever i felt it move i tensed up because i was excited and it stopped but trust me once it starts kicking properly and its waking you up at night and you get bruised ribs you will soon
wish you were back at the light fluttery movements stage
good luck with the pregnancy hun

When I first felt movement I was only 16 weeks and it was only a little flutter like I had butterflys literally in my belly. At 18 weeks I felt my little girl's first kick. Every pregnancy is different, and this one is my first. If you are in decent shape things tend to come earlier even in the first pregnancy than it will for those that carry more weight than they should, or lead a not so healthy lifestyle. Gas usually makes itself known later on anyways so just enjoy your baby!

Hi Stacey

I could have sworn i felt something last night - which is so ironic because earlier on in the evening I posted a message asking when i would feel movement.

I am only 14+4 and last night as I was laying in bed and if I concerntrated really hard I could feel a feeling which felt like bubbles popping and it almost felt as if I had a pulse in my tummy.

I thought it might just be wind but it went on for about half an hour and I could only feel it when I was laying down still! It probably was just wind but I really have never experienced this feeling before.

I am going to see if it happens tonight.

You are nearly 17 weeks so I would definitely say waht you are feeling is the baby. I was looking at another website which said women can feel it from as early as 14 weeks but that is normally in their second pregnancy. This is my first so not sure what to think.

Ii just can't wait until it is proper kicks!!

Good luck and I am sure you will feel a lot more kicks in the next couple of weeks.
