i am 19 weeks pregnant, and keep wondering if i have felt baby move? i think i have as last few days it feels like some little flutters against the inside of my tummy - kind of like how a butterfly wings might feel on your skin. what did others babes feel like?

my dd was quite gentle , however ds it was a good prod.
dd didnt really move about until 5/6 mths
whereas ds (bigger ) around 4mths.

I mistook it for wind till about 19wks - felt like bubbling intestinal gas more than anything else

Yes, its like a fluttering. A bit like bubbles inside you (but you don't end up farting!)

yes, fluttering to start with. Nice but slightly weird.

Later on more like small internal footballer and VERY weird when you're lying in the bath and can actually see movement!

Aye, sounds as if you are feeling the pup. Amazing isn't it? It's the first kick that's boggling too - it took me several seconds to register it. Then a few nights ago, awake in bed with my hand resting on my tum, it actually kicked my hand. I absolutely shit my pants. But it's cool now!

I asked exactly the same question a week ago when I was 19 weeks.. a week later and the can not be mistaken for anything else that a baby punch and kick!
