The Old Baby Kicking vs Wind Debate

[RGPargy]

I know that in a lot of books and on websites it says that you cannot feel the baby kicking or moving much earlier than about 18 weeks (unless it's your 2+ baby, when you can sometimes feel it at about 14 weeks).

I've seen you talk about feeling bubbles etc and was just wondering if it would be possible to feel the baby moving around at 11 weeks?

I keep feeling like a bubble sensation in my lower abdomen and sometimes even little twitches inside that could be likened to kicks.

Is is possible that it is the baby or is it just wind?

What do you reckon?

I felt something abit like fizzing etc from 12 weeks on but not till this weekend did I really, and I mean really feel it move.

Can feel them easier if you are lying down, almost flat and just concentrating on where you think they are.

If you think you have felt it then you may have.

I do feel it quite a bit and I do remember feeling it with my DS1 too, but obviously i didnt know what it was. With my DS1, I remember what the first difinite big kick was like too - really surreal!

I remember thinking I had bad wind for a couple of days then realising what it was, I was about 17 weeks 1st time round. It was almost as if I'd forgotten I was pg, cos I was expecting flutters or kicks.
