  • That's the cool part....you usually just know:) is this your first baby?
  • Yes this is my first :-)
  • This is my 3rd and it's still the strangest feeling to have somthing move inside of you. Once you feel it you won't forget it:) Hope it happens soon for ya......and it does feel a little like gas but can also feel like the baby did a back flip ....lol
  • I was told the same thing! I can't wait to feel my baby move!
  • I'm pregnant with my first now I'm 20 wks but I first felt the baby move at 17 weeks it was the coolest thing and ever since then I feel it all the time every day :) I love it
  • I felt flutters at 12 -13 weeks and movement at the end of my 17th week I'm 19 now
  • For me the diff is gas starts in my stomach and gurgles in my lower belly. With the baby, it doesn't gurgle it just feels like ittybitty bubbles that make you think you may have to gas but it doesn't accelerate or gurgle or move from its little spots and its a bit fluttery. But you will def know the difference.
  • Really quick fluttery.. picture a butterfly fly trapped inside for a few seconds. If it were gas it would just be a bubble. Now when the baby is bigger. It will feel like a bubble being popped.
  • I felt my baby move at 16wks and I think it felt like being pinched from the inside of your belly :)
  • Thanks everyone, this has given me some great information I can not wait to feel that first flutter :-)
  • When I was pregnant with my son I could feel him bouncing on my bladder.
  • I'm past the flutter stage and get full blown kicks now. But I could tell the flutters weren't gas cuz they kinda felt the same but gas keeps moving down. Baby flutters will stay in the same general area and be intermittent in patterns, unlike gas. Then for me it went from flutters to kung foo lessons over night. I'm 18w 3d now and I feel him move and roll over every day :) now it feels like hollow gas that just erupts or like a bubble popping inside, but stays in the same general location. And when he turns I feel his whole body rotate and kinda like how when u wave ur arms underwater and get that resistance feeling and its hard. I'm super skinny tho too and feel it best if I'm laying real still on my back, and put light pressure on my tummy and wait for the kick back lols. I can see them from the outside now too. And ill lay and look at my tummy for hours :) and if I want him to kick (dunno if this works for everyone but it does for me) I eat a spoonful of cinnamon and sugar then lay down on my back really still and rub my tummy lightly but I dont talk and he moves everytime :) try it and see if it works for u tho :)
