Im around 19 weeks and first time mom so I keep wondering what the movements actually feel like. Some days I feel a tiny flutter and some days nothing at all which makes me overthink. How was it for you all in the beginning?
Early on it feels like flutters or gas, then it grows into clear kicks and pokes. Second time I recognised it much sooner, around 16 weeks. In later months your doctor may ask you to count kicks daily, do take that seriously.
Movements are lovely but please keep an eye on them in later months. If you ever feel the baby moving much less than usual, dont wait, call your gynac immediately. I learnt to always trust that instinct.
I felt the first movements around 20 weeks, like tiny bubbles or flutters, so faint I wasnt sure at first. By the third trimester they became proper kicks and rolls. Honestly it was the most magical feeling of my whole pregnancy.
I'm at 19 weeks and keep wondering if those little flutters are the baby or just my tummy. Did everyone feel unsure in the beginning too? I cant wait for the proper kicks honestly.
