Dancing baby or imagination?

Hiya I'm 13 + 4 weeks and work in a fitness and natural health studio, tonight we had a Zumba class, I didn't fancy doing it but was in the same room. I no it's early but I'm sure I could feel my baby really bouncing around to the super loud music. I thought I felt it earlier as well whilst lying v still in the park, my books say first time mums (which I am) only start to feel movement between 16-20 weeks but I'm quite in tune with my body and am sure it was the baby dancing today lol.
It kind of felt like little mini flutters or like my tummy rumbled - but it didn't rumble if that makes any sense at all lol.

Is it possible that I could feel something at thus stage or did I imagine it?

Could be! Despite people telling me I must be mad/wrong/dellusional/just experiencing wind, by 12wks I was fairly sure it wasn't wind (IBS suffererm I knew that wasn't right) and was able to identify fairly accuratly where LO was boofing me on the scan (she likes hiding low down). By 16wks I was 100% sure it was LO despite anterior placenta and people being doubtful.
Now LO is booting me about 110 times a day @27+5, and I keep getting told that's very high, could it be wind (well, bottom says no, and doppler traces agree with me). MWs are more than happy I'm feeling so much. You could just have a gymnast/maniac like me! Wait 'til LOs bashing around at 3am...

Lol iv been told it's wind as well lol but I'm sure if it was it would be coming out somewhere lol plus Like u i can pin point exactly where it is! I can't wait to feel it for deff but for today I'm going to remain excited about my flutters - wind or not lol

I first felt my LO at 12 weeks too (first baby). I thought it was a twitch initially until it kept happening. Have felt him couple of times a week ever since (17 weeks now) & it feels exactly like he?s dancing. He is really low down too which is confirmed on the scans & dobblers . Everyone has been saying it?s too early & it must be wind etc but he?s definitely bopping away in there. :-)

My feelings are low down as well. Havnt felt anything since but I reckon maybe it just enjoys a bit of Zumba lol. I'm convinced it was the baby moving not wind - glad im not the only one who felt something so early! Had my scan last week and the baby was sooooo active kicking little legs around so I'm not to surprised I felt something Grin can't wait till it's super strong and I'm 100% sure Grin

I am 10 weeks and if I lie quietly with my palm flat on my belly I am sure I can feel swooshy movements! Can't wait for the proper kicks:)

I felt mine for the first time at 13+4 when I was out shopping. I broke down in tears of happiness :)
First baby here too
