Is this movement or am I just kidding myself?

Hi guys. I'm currently 21 weeks. For the past couple of weeks I've been feeling some pops, flips and 'bloops' on occasion. But I not sure if they are baby. My mum felt one from the outside yesterday. They aren't really super low tho, usually to one side and a inch or two below my belly button. Sometimes I'll feel a few in a row I the same spot. I have an active job and don't feel it at work, only occasionally on my break. Does this sound like baby moving?

'Bloops' is exactly how DH and I refer to the baby moving! Sounds like it almost certainly is him/her :)

I'm 21weeks and have the same feelings from what you describe. Nothing too 'obviously baby moving' but different from normal everyday stomach feelings.

I have an anterior placenta so I think mine are a bit duller than 9ther peoples.

Yeah sounds exactly like it around that stage.

I would say so. I first felt baby (my first) at 17 weeks, and DH felt it too. I was covid positive at the time so it was so reassuring!

To me it felt like gas bubbles Wink

Sounds exactly like movement, and this is the time you should definitely start feeling something. How exciting!!

I'm 21 weeks and have the exact same feelingSmile. I started feeling it last week when I was lying in bed at night, but couldn't be sure it wasn't gas, but slowly I'm beginning to notice it more. I described it feeling like smalls bubbles popping.
