What does baby movement feel like???

I’m 16W3D and showing. But I can’t tell if I feel him moving or not. This is my first pregnancy that has come this far. Can someone tell me what feeling your baby move feels like when you first feel them. I have heard “butterfly’s or flutters” but I don’t think I understand what that means or if I just need to be patient. Thanks mamas!!

I’m in the same boat! I don’t feel kicking but my best description would be a light flutter. It makes me stop what I’m doing so I can concentrate on if I’m feeling what I think im feeling 😂 I question it every time lol

It kind of feels like little gas bubbles lol or like little fingers trying to tickle you from the inside lmao idk how to explain it. But it won’t be kick kick. It’s just a little tickle feeling lol I get mine when I lay on my side cause I feel he is uncomfortable when I’m like that lmao I barely felt mine and I’m 17 weeks tomorrow lol

@Elyssa okay I questioned if it was gas bubbles !! The first time I felt it I was laying in bed on My side waiting for my work alarm to go off and I felt it and I instantly opened my eyes and grabbed my stomach but I didn’t feel it again up until a few days ago.Because it was the early AM I questioned if my morning routine was starting early 😅lol that’s exciting to know. Its a very light feeling but it’s something lol

@Keisha yeah it’s nothing crazy like kicks! Cause trust me, when those kicks come you feel it lmao my daughter would kick all night. You just see my stomach moving on its own and I’m watching tv lol but yes for me it’s when the baby is uncomfortable lol I only felt it maybe three times so far lol maybe your baby don’t like you up in the morning lol

Omg I just know ima cry feeling my babys First kick 😂 out of excitement of course but wooow🥰 And yes maybe he doesn’t. I hope that means he’ll sleep in with his momma as much as possible 😂🤞🏾

@Keisha yeah it’s a great feeling lol cherish it and record as much as you can lol mine was up all night but she always had gone to bed at 8:30pm so she don’t stay up at all lol so it’s opposite lol so watch out lmaooo yours might love mornings when he comes out😂😂
