Weird tingly feeling....Is it baby?!

I'm 18+2 with my first and thought a couple of weeks ago I felt baby but looking back I'm not that convinced. But the past couple of days I keep feeling what I can only describe as the feeling of hairs standing up on end?! I'm sorry I don't know how else to word it. I don't really know what to look out for!

sounds like it might be

I remember it feeling like the bubbles in a fizzy drink tingling around - long time ago now for me tho.

I had the same thing from about 15 weeks - I don't know if it was baby or not! Graduated to the feeling of something like a feather underneath my skin. I never had the "fizzy" sensation. The first "real" (unmistakable) movements I had were little prods above my pubic bone.

Thanks both! This "hair standing up thing" feeling has been pretty much constant sooo much this morning that I'm a bit sceptical I'd feel so much so soon if it really is bub!

Me again, the worrier!
So now 18+4 and convinced I still havent felt her yet Had FH checked yesterday and was fine so I'm sure I'm worrying unnecessarily but I want to be kicked! Does anyone have any suggesions how to induce movement? Just had a realllly cold glass of milk and nothing!

Try a few pieces of chocolate or a glass of orange juice then lie on your back really quietly for a few minutes. Don't worry too much though, it's still early!

it might be that you're placenta is anterior, which means it is muffling the kicks, I have this and didn't feel baby until 19 weeks and then it was tiny flutters which I thought was wind, am now 25 weeks and the little bugger won't keep still!! Kicked me so hard at work today I lept out of my chair
