hi all
I haven't posted before - site comes highly recommended!
Am 20 weeks tomorrow with first baby. Had awful experience with Trisomy 18 baby early this year so feeling anxious.Don't have big scan til Mid jan.
What does the baby moving feel like?
thanks

Hi. The only way I can think of discribing it is like little pops or what a kettle might feel like when it boils? Make any sense?

When baby moves it feels wonderful!! For me, it felt like how I'd imagine bubbles popping would feel like....early days it was a bit of a flutter and then the bubbles popping and finally like someone's pushing around in a small space- bit like you're searching in your handbag for something and going into all the corners - pushing and shoving I quite miss that feeling, when it's just between you and baby....
Good luck - hope all goes well for you!!

hee - thanks - keep thinking I might have felt it already but tummy has been all over the place so not sure if it is wind or not! Will try to be patient...

and am glad to see you are haribolicious!!

Bubbles popping is exactly how I'd describe it too. It's lovely! Good luck!

I think I first felt DS around 19 weeks so you may have....when it's more definite, you'll realise whether you did feel something earlier or not

Mmmm....haribo/picknmix is a major weakness

All the descriptions are different so don't get despondent if you don't feel 'butterflies' or whatever. Anything you feel that you have never felt before will be it!

You've made me remember when I first felt my dd move in my tummy (over 19 years ago now!).

I thought it was the beginning of an upset tummy, as I'd had a lot of sickness earlier in the pregnancy, and actually went home from work so that I'd be home before I was ill.
When the feeling kept coming and going over the next while, it finally clicked with me. It was that bubbly feeling that others mentioned.

Felt pretty dumb actually.

im 24 weeks with my third and at 20 weeks i was still not sure i was feeling the baby move!! it was though at first it felt like when my tummy was rumbling now its prods and pokes that you can see the skin moving dh loves it!! dont worry you will soon know for definate
