Baby’s first movement
Hi mummies and mums to be! At what gestational age did you first felt your baby move and how does it feel like?
I’m Week 19 now and felt movements starting late Week 17. Firstly it felt exactly like gas. As I have a lot of gas, I couldn’t really deferentiate whether I was gonna pass gas or was the quickening. Like small little bubbles popping. Then Week 18 I could literally feel light flutters. Week 19 now and I can feel a little wave sometimes, and the little thuds (cause I don’t know if it’s a kick or a punch yet) as usual. I also don’t know the gender yet, going for my detailed scan at Week 21. It usually happens when I lie on my left or when after a meal. It gets stronger by the week so don’t be disheartened if you don’t feel yours yet! When it happens, it’ll just put a smile across your face at the most random time. Or a little shock. Hahaha just like now as I’m typing this, lil bub is agreeing! 😂
