Hello ladies!

Im 18+1 now and for the past 2 weeks ive been feeling movement quite alot.
Just wanted to know if everyone is the same or have similar ways of explaining movement? Mine feels like popping or tapping and ive had quite a few strong nudges where ive seen my bellu move only a couple of times. I love feeling this! Its so comforting and special to me of that little connection with my buba :) how did it feel for you guys.
Firat pregnancy so im finding it all so fascinating :) x

Pretty much the same as you describe from about 17 weeks. At first it felt like trapped wind releasing itself inside me.

Make the most of it while they're gentle Grin I am 30+4 and regularly getting beaten up from the inside now.

I'm sure I was about 18 weeks when first felt odd taps and stuff, now 26 weeks and get booted all the time, also just terrified the baby by using my food processor, he was very unhappy, thrashing around. Had to get Dh to use it when I was in a different room. Grin

Awww bless! I noticed when im happylaughing movement comes more than when im sat quietly. Or is that just me awakening my baby? I live feeling my liytle taps its alot of the time as soon as i wake up.
Only seen and felt movement twice it made me jump! I had my hand on my belly and felt a good little jab incredible. :D

It is fascinating, my baby does a lot of rolling so you can see stomach stretched then goes flatter again, which is really interesting to watch and feel. Also getting kicked and punched at the same time in different places is really strange.

I was told the other day by my mil that I was making it up and it would only be wind, I was really pissed off. She changed her tune when I was getting lots of boots the other day when I was in her house.
