Kicks

[SWFARMER]

Can you explain the feeling of baby kicks?

how far along are you? I'm 17+4 and it feels like someone's flicking me from the inside lol

Im not yet! Will.be TTC early next year hopefully. I have just always been curious and so.many people say different things!

Can't wait :-)

missmartin's description is spot on. Little flicks is wgat I fekt and sometimes the weird sensation you get when you quickly go over a steep hill in a car.
I'm now 29 weeks and they feel like proper solid doofs now and I can see my tummy ripple and move as the baby squirms.

To me it feels like twitching/popping

Earthy feeling is like a ball rolling on the inside of you from time to time. Later on it's full-on thumps on the diaphragm, stamps on the bladder and kick-boxing on the inside of the belly button. With the occasional elbow poking your tummy out into odd shapes. When my DS turned from breech to head down at 36 weeks I thought I was being disembowelled.

But it's all lovely

Early, not earthy!

Twitches

To me feels exactly like how it sounds - someone inside of you pushing/kicking/punching. I never got flutters or anything like that. Just from 20 or so weeks clear movements. You can't mistake it for anything else!

I had light flutters at around 19 weeks, maybe one or two and then nothing for a few days. Like a few little tickles on the inside of your stomach. However, at almost 21 weeks I have started feeling more solid thumps, literally as if something is nudging you from the inside; it's quite a feeling. I also completely agree with the feeling of going over a steep hill.

As others have said light flutters and twitches early on. In later pregnancy they feel more like jabs and my belly often moves up and down like he's shuffling around in there.

In early pregnancy exactly as others have said - really lovely and light and wispy. I am currently 33 weeks and have been getting booted for the past few weeks (he seems to love kicking behind my bellybutton). The do come in a fairly regular pattern (my unborn son kicks for food lol) though and it is still lovely x

At 25+2 it more like twitching and something a nudge . The twitching tends to be a couple of twitches same area and then stops. I feel movement everyday now and I've been told by me to stroke the area if it twitches and the other day I did and felt I fact touched my belly and the twitching area bulge not sure what it was by defo baby and it was the most amazing thing. Was like having a conversation with an alien a nd them responding back

At the start just lovely little butterflies.

Now 35 weeks and get big uncomfortable thuds from the inside. When the baby turns it feels like when you go over a hill in a car a bit too fast and lose your stomach.

I'd described it as someone lightly flicking me from the inside, or as though pushing on a trampoline. Very weird!

I never had the butterflies stage either! Just straight to a knocking sensation at 19 weeks. I'm now nearly 24 weeks and getting proper thumps and doofs. It's the strangest feeling ever but so reassuring that your baby is fine :-)

the best way to describe it for me is like somebody hitting a hollow drum but inside you (if that makes sense!) I had a odd flutter/teeny kick/punch at around 17ish weeks but now at 22 weeks baby is very active and kicking about - they are still not very hard but did have one the other day that took my breath away a bit!
