This is my 1st child and I finally felt some movements. Didn't feel them until 21 weeks with my 1st and since I was about 14 weeks everyone's been saying "have you felt anything yet".. making me panic like the crazy irrational pregnant lady I am!

Anyway, the "kicks" are really low. Almost in my private area. Feels like he/she is trying to escape haha. Anyone else felt this?

I'm 36 weeks and I said to my OH that every so often it feels like I'm just going to get a little hand poking out of my lady garden - it's quite disconcerting, and I've never particularly enjoyed the lower down movements, so you're definitely not alone!!

Hi OP, I'm 25+1 and since about 22 weeks I've had the same - really low level kicks, feel like a leg might appear :) Midwife said it was all perfectly normal.

Ahh. Pleased I'm not the only one. It really does feel like a limb is about to pop out. The strangest feeling.

I'm sure in 10+ weeks when I have a bum up on my ribs I'll long to the tiny, escapee kicks.
