Hello everyone,

I'm just curious as to when you felt first movements and what they were like? And how do you know for definite they are baby movements and not just a general stomach niggle?

I'm 17 weeks today and yesterday afternoon I felt these weird little jabs (for want of a better word) in my abdomen. It was very quick and sudden then stopped - then about an hour later it happened again. Then, towards the evening I had a very weird sensation that I can only describe as having palpitations in my stomach. I know that sounds odd, but it was like feeling my heart palpitations (which thankfully I don't have many) were happening in my belly.

I would love to think I have been experiencing baby movements but obviously I can't know for sure, and is it not too early into the pregnancy anyway?

I keep getting the feeling that I've left my stomach behind while going over a hill Grin

Had it the other day while walking about. Very strange. Especially considering at 18 weeks I still don't really have a bump because I'm already a chubster
