Maybe I just felt firebaby!

It's early days yet, but periodically today I have felt some light little "pops" in my lower abdomen, unlike anything I've noticed before. I know it could be anything, but for now, I'm pretending it's firebaby :)

Re: Maybe I just felt firebaby!

  • I think you're right around the time it starts.  I think...I am not exaclty up to date on these things anymore.  :)

  • You're definitely around the time it starts! I noticed around 16-18 weeks with Brody, but it took a while before I was entirely sure it was him. It felt like someone was tickling the inside of my uterus with their fingernail...if that makes sense. It also sometimes felt like a little bit of popcorn popping.

    Yay for feeling firebaby!!!

  • Definitely possible / probable!  I'd say if it's something you've never felt before, then it's firebaby!

    I felt baby B at 14.5 weeks inconsistently until about 19 weeks.  At 14.5 weeks it felt like a fish swimming against my insides, then within a few weeks it changed to pops / popcorn popping.

  • that sounds about right!!

    I didn't feel even one pop until more like 18-19 weeks, and then started feeling actual movement on the outside around 20 weeks (most times people say it takes a few weeks to feel movement from the outside).  Now I can distinguish body parts - it's so cool!

     

    Enjoy it - it's easily my favorite part of pregnancy Smile

  • sounds like early movement to me!! I think I first felt something like that around 17/18 weeks. It was clearly movement by 19 weeks. 

    for me, it felt like a muscle twitch...like you know when your eye twitches? but in my uterus. haha. I know what you mean though, it's like nothing you've ever felt before...just wait until you (and A) can feel it from the outside and SEE your belly move. Most.amazing.thing.ever.  

    yay :-) so excited for you guys.

    this is how I was explaining it to Tim when I first started feeling it too!  sometimes I wondered if I really started feeling her earlier but was assuming it actually was twitching.

    This, I think once I was SURE that's what it was, I realized I had felt it earlier, but didn't realize...I would just think it was gas. haha. But it really does NOT feel like gas. 

    Nowadays though I will have gas that I worry is contractions as the bubbles get stuck and hurt SO much. But then once they pass I'm like, oh, that must have just been a gas bubble working itself out. haha.

  • Little baby movements are so fun!  I agree with everyone else, you are in the timeframe where you'll begin to feel the little one move around.  Congrats!
