Feeling baby move when I press down, 13wks?

I'm sure it was something else but...
I was lying on my back one evening before bed and placed a firm hand on my abdomen, where the sonographer had placed the ultrasound scanning tool a week before at my dating scan. I thought I felt so etching rolling around! Or, perhaps a large lump of food/poop passing through lower intestines. I placed my hand on my husbands lower abdomen to compare and I couldn't feel the same rolling motion. It was like a little lumpy ball rolling over, so I wondered if I was being bonkers in thinking it might be the baby?

I had this too. I ask the midwife and she said she could feel it too. Different people can feel at different times :) I wouldn't say your bonkers :)

Ah fab! Thanks. I thought it might be poop, that would be gross to feel moving through your abdomen... Glad it's a rolly-baby

I felt DD1 at 14 weeks and this DC at 11+6. That's early, but I KNOW what it was, there was no mistaking it. So, yes, it prob was baby.

Have you been pregnant before? Since my first pregnancy I've been able to feel my guts moving around a lot more, sometimes it feels exactly like a baby!

I don't think it would be impossible for you to feel it at 13 weeks though so you never know. Once it does start kicking there's no mistaking it. Funnily enough it feels exactly like a baby punching you, but from the inside!

I'm not feeling the kicks, it's my hand when I press it flat on my lower abdomen, I can feel a small rolling thing under my hand. Currently I can't feel it hands free as it were.
