Around 22 weeks and feeling these little flutters but not sure if its kicks or just gas honestly haha. Where do u usually feel them, lower pet or higher up? first baby so everything is new.
Enjoy these small flutters! Soon your baby will be kicking your ribs so hard you won't sleep. Mine used to kick right under my ribs and now he's running all over the house!
In the 2nd trimester, you'll feel them below the belly button. Don't buy those expensive baby dopplers to hear kicks or heartbeat, it's a waste of money. Just wait, the kicks will become very clear soon.
I panicked because I didn't feel kicks till 22 weeks, but my gynac said it was because of my anterior placenta. Once it started, I could feel them mostly near my belly button and sides. It's completely normal!
I have heard from my friends that early kicks feel like little butterflies or bubbles in the lower tummy. It sounds so magical, I can't wait to experience it myself one day.
My mother-in-law told me that boys kick on one side and girls on the other, but honestly, my baby was kicking all over my stomach and ribs! Mostly it is in the lower belly in the second trimester.
With my retroverted uterus and PCOS, I felt the first movements quite late, around 21 weeks, very low down. Don't worry if you don't feel them early, every body type is different.
I totally understand how eagerly you are waiting for that first kick, it is the most beautiful feeling in the world! Usually, it starts as soft flutters in the lower stomach before turning into proper kicks.
Suno, initially around 18-20 weeks you will feel tiny flutters in your lower abdomen. As the baby grows, they will kick everywhere, even near your ribs. It's totally normal.
