Hi, I’m interested in knowing what it felt like when everyone felt their baby move for the first time. With my first son (almost 7 years ago) it felt like butterflies, but with my current pregnancy (just 16 weeks) I’ve been getting a ‘scratchy’ feeling which feels very strange 😂 Anyone else felt something similar...Or is it just me 🤣 Thanks in advance! x

This babys first movements were very scratchy, it's how I knew it was her and not usual bowl rumbles. I had a cesarean with breech twins last time so wonder if it feeling different to our others could be down to nerve damage around my scar.

It started before my dating scan, she measured 13wk then. 6th baby so very sensitive to movement. Hubby felt her for the 1st time on Sunday when I was 21+5wk. Thought he may not feel her for ages as he goes to sea soon and I have an anterior placenta for the 1st time.
