Im around 19 weeks and so excited to feel something but not sure what im looking for. How do the first movements actually feel? Like is it flutter or kick? Bata do pls.
Usually, around 18 to 22 weeks you'll start feeling them like light bubbles or butterflies. Lie down in a quiet room after eating your food and focus on your belly.
I totally understand how stressful it is to wait for that first kick, I used to worry all day. Try lying down on your left side after drinking cold sweet juice, you'll feel a tiny flutter.
Movement patterns get much clearer by 24 weeks, so don't stress if it is faint right now. But if you ever feel a sudden drop in movements later on, immediately check with your gynac.
Oh god, I used to count every kick and panic if baby slept for even two hours! Honestly, just drink a glass of cold water and rest calmly, you will feel those sweet movements soon.
