Q: How does it feel when you feel baby move for the first time?

I had this weird feeling this morning. It felt like a gas bubble but not. More of like a brushing, woosh feeling.
Could that have been the baby?

I was 16 weeks when I started feeling these taps. It was like someone lightly poking me from the inside. It still feels like that now, but stronger and more distinct. I am 22 weeks and I have been able to actually see my stomach move when the baby moves. What you are feeling is the baby! Enjoy!

Im 16 weeks and I just started to feel odd, gas-bubble-poke movement. My midwife said that it probably is the baby

That is exactly what it felt like the first time I fel my daughter in my first pregnancy. I was about 16 weeks at the time. I remember I had an appointment that day and my OB said - its probably just gas b/c you wouldn't really feel it this early but I knew it was her. I felt it 3 more times that day! Trust your instincts. It was probably your love bug :)

I am only 12 weeks today and I'm pretty sure I feel those bubbles too, esp when I lay still after being busy. I do remember that from my first pregnancy as well. It sure is an awesome feeling...:) enjoy
