Baby Movement

with my first i felt nothing until 20w and it was like thick gloops before actual kicks but this time ive been feeling little bubbles at 16w so i think the bubbles are baby and the sharp sensation is possibly them tugging on the cord? just a guess x

Thank you!! It’s so confusing not knowing what the feeling is meant to be

Some would say it could be… I found it really confusing with my girl to know (and this baby actually). The thing with bubbles is so much is happening in pregnancy with hormones so lots of bubbles/gurgles/shifting. For me it felt like a fish swimming/sliding/flipping around inside (which is a funny description as have no idea but was the image it brought to mind). Actually used to call her little fishy. But some people say flutters like a butterfly which I never really got. This time I’m getting the odd feeling but not convinced yet even though I’ve been here before. I remember feeling really confused about how would I know when it’s definitely baby but there will come a time when you just know without a doubt it is baby. Maybe it won’t technically be the first movement because there’s so many sensations before that may or may not be baby but you’ll know for sure. More common for this to be around 20-24 weeks and then will get more consistent.

this was so helpful, a little fish swimming sounds really spot on! I’ve continued feeling swooshes throughout the day so hoping it’s just baby movements! Thank you so much x
