So I'm 19+1 and over the past week or so I've started to feel little almost like twitches or shifting movements 🥺

I'm sat at work and I have this really noticeable almost like a twitch but it's on my left side right above my bum cheek, not all the way around to my back but more right under my ribs on my far left side. Is this possible that it could be baby???

I'm unsure as I know he's still very small but I do have an anterior placenta so I'm wondering if I'm feeling it right in my side because of that! Or if it's not actually baby and for some reason one of my organs is spasming 😂 it's almost like when your eye twitches... but very noticeable and quite strong! Definitely the strongest I've felt yet!

It could well be!

I had an anterior placenta with my first and it was right at the front so I only ever felt movements that were low and to the side.

I didn't feel anything till more like 22-23 weeks but it was best described as little butterfly flutters

I can definitely feel something but mostly when I'm lying down/sitting a certain way and mostly in the evenings! But sitting at my desk at work there's an insane twitch in my side which I've never had before haha! I'm telling myself it's him even though he's only dinky at 19 weeks - he has VERY long legs at our scans 😂

It could be. Mine started with my first at 19/20ish weeks as flutter/bubble like. Like how if you go over a hill on a road and then go down and it makes your stomach feel weird for a brief moment. Or a bit like gas. By 23 weeks it was distinguishable, so in a few weeks you will likely be able to tell it more clearly. It was like quick gentle nudge but inside. Mine was anterior and over the cervix.

Im only 15 weeks this time, apparently posterior placenta this time and I have had a few moments over the past few days which have been like a twitch on my left side or a feint bubble sensation. Very subtle though so it could be gas for me. To be honest mine is likely gas still at this stage it feels too early.

I felt movement around 15 weeks, I kept feeling like a 'popping' and 'twitchng' feeling on the right side but that was quite low down. I thought it was gas as I was early but the midwife confirmed it was baby
