Is it possible to see my tummy move without feeling anything on the inside or outside? Or am I just going mad?
I'm 17 weeks right now.

Thanks sleepybump
I wasn't expecting it but just looked down and my tummy started to move on the left side a couple of times!!!
I'm freaked because I thought I should be able to feel movement before I saw it Confused

I'm quite jealous to be honest - I had flutters between 14&15 ish weeks, then nothing until yesterday (19w) I think I had a few little kicks (which was a bit like popcorn going off Confused) - but if I'm totally honest these could all be a mixture of wind/rumbly tummy/wanting to feel the baby... I need proof damn-it!! Grin

I'm sure you'll feel them in no time!

I know the feeling of needing proof!
Hope the pocorn feelings are kicks and get strong for you soon sleepybump! Smile

That sounds so cool!

I'm 23 weeks, sometimes I look down at my tummy and it's sticking off to the left or right rather than forwards but I've never actually seen it moving yet. With DS I used to balance things on my bump and watch them jiggle and bounce (the TV remote is great for this).

Today is the first day I've seen it! I can't wait to get home from work and try balancing things on it. Baby hasn't stopped wriggling since I saw it move, at least I think it wriggling! Smile x

It's strange isn't it? I used to wake up with a dd shaped lump on one side, all curled up and contorting my stomach and when I sat up she'd wriggle back to a more comfortable position, my stomach changing shape as she went. I loved it.

You can also see your heartbeat in your stomach when pregnant which makes it pulse slightly.

Is that what that rhythmic bumping is!? I noticed it in the bath the other day and thought it looked like a beat but wasn't sure if it was mine or hers.

ShowOfHands · 17/05/2011 17:05

It's yours. The baby's is still very fast and wouldn't be as noticeable at this stage. Mine used to do it in the bath (I think it's the semi-inclined position), just a rhythmic pulsing. Found it really weird.

I found my heart beat in my tummy really odd at first!
Felt a bit more wriggling last night and two what I think were kicks!
Not felt anything yet today.
