I "might" have felt my baby for the first time yesterday, but i can't be sure that's what it was. It felt different than anything i ever remember feeling before. I've heard other people compare it to fluttering or say it feels like gas. It didn't really feel that way to me though. I guess it kinda felt like a big gas bubble if i had to compare it to that, but what it mostly felt like was something really small bumping into my belly. lol. I'll be 18 weeks in a couple days. Is it too early for me to feel it as clearly as i did? Whatever it was, it sure got me all excited.

How far along were you when you first felt your baby move and what did it feel like?

I think it's an appropriate time to start feeling movement! HOW exciting!!!

I'm not sure if i have yet, and i was actually going to post the same thing! I *think* i might be feeling something right now... but it could just be wishful thinking since i just had an u/s The doctor said i should for sure start feeling it in the next few weeks.

I think I was between 18 and 20 weeks. It felt like pops in my belly at first.

First movement was @ 16 weeks - just the little like flutters that were definitely baby.

First kick was at 19 weeks 6 days.

I first felt movement at about 16 weeks. To me it felt like a twitch in my belly. HOW EXCITING FOR YOU!!!

I've felt it a few more times today and am now feeling positive that it's the baby. It's such an awesome feeling!!

[Oreobaby]

How exciting Krista!!! such an exciting time for you...now baby can remind you all the time that he or she is there!!!

[DancingGummyBear]

Krista!! That's wonderful! I felt baby for the first time (and I swear I'm not crazy!) a few days before 12 weeks. It was a twitch really low in my stomach and the next day I felt it A LOT. It's gotten so much stronger and a higher since then. I'm almost 19 weeks now, it's amazing.

I felt my first flutters around week 15 but around week 18 is when I could really tell for sure that it was him kicking around in there. They felt like popcorn popping in my stomach or like a quickening feeling. It's the best feeling in the world! Congrats!!!

[Soape]

Oh how exciting!!!! I hope it just continues more and more every day.

[fromustobaby]

I bet that is DEFINITELY baby!!
To me it feels like little cramps or muscle twitches...haa, he just kicked me right now...yea, like a little twitch...
It gets even better when you can lift up your shirt and just watch him kick away

[CandaceDianne]

I would think thats baby. YAH!!!! I am so excited (and jealous!) for you!!

[shannaj]

I think for sure that could have been what you felt. I think I was around 16 weeks when I knew for sure it was baby that was moving. To me it didn't feel like gas or cramps...it felt like a baby moving in my stomach! lol It felt like something bumping around in there. God I miss that feeling! lol

[Elijah'sMommy]

How exciting
I felt the baby move around 15 weeks... felt like little flutters.

[karenwalter]

Yay! That is probably the baby. It's such a great and reassuring feeling

[Micksbabe]

Yah!!! I felt it first at about 17 weeks and now at 35 weeks she is constantly moving around in there, no more kicks now it is rolls and more rolls!!!

[MarinaAndCharlie'sMommy]

I felt a couple of very light taps at 17 weeks and then at 21 weeks I felt definately movement. Congrats Krista! I'm so excited for you!

[KCMomma]

I didn't feel her kick until 19 weeks and 6 days!! I was dying to feel it! I always say that when you feel it will 100% know it was a kick!!! That's so exciting and definitely reassuring! How very exciting! Remember this excitement at about 39 weeks!!! JK

[stlgirl]

I didn't feel anything (at least, not anything I could tell was baby not gas) until about 20 weeks, but it sounds like what you are describing is definitely baby. Woohoo!
