    Red face baby movements/kicking

    i have a strange question.
    when the baby moves (i'm almost 21 weeks) it feels like a little baloon popping...is this movment or is this just my tummy making air bubbles? i know it sounds really crazy to ask because i've felt the "flutters" but i wasnt sure if movement could feel like bubbles popping/ minni mucle spasims as well?

    ohh another question - has any one around this time (20ish weeks) felt that their emotions are running a wee bit on the crazy side or am i just crazy?

    Hey baby blip - congrats on your pregnancy
    When I felt Natty move it always felt like little muscle spasms to me... Sounds like you're definitely feeling your bub and it's not just gas
    Also, I was emotional the whole pregnancy long. Sorry to hear you're feeling like you've got a bit of the crazies... You don't, I promise! Hormones running rampant, etc etc.

    I am not 20 weeks yet and am not sure about the movement you are experienced (as im a ltitle ont he inexperienced side of things) but I have been feeling a bit crazy with my emotions since I became pregnant. I think thats pretty normal. Well thats what I tell DP anyway!

    Oh yay, then it really is it for me too! I have been feeling the flutters for a couple of weeks now and then they got a bit stronger but the past couple of days I've had the muscle spasm feeling pokes! Because they're not really regular I was second guessing myself if it really was baby.

    I've been getting the flutters too ..... and I've come to the conclusion that being pregnant is like going through puberty ... you have no control over your actions or emotions... LOL

    Its hard to tell the difference isn't it? I was the same as you but now I am used to the movements and can tell which is what. I am now able to see my tummy move when bump kicks which is still pretty amazing to me. DH can finally feel bump kick now and he sometimes even does it when he hears DH talk, which makes DH smile to know bump can hear him. Last night as soon as DH came home he gave me a kiss and them lifted my top and talked right into my tummy then blew a rasberry on my tummy. I wonder if bump was giggling in there, I know I was...

    Baby movement is a funny thing, last week it was pretty much all up around my belly button or below and now this week it is anything from just under bossoms and below and the weirdest feeling is when the bub kicks and it must be right at the back of the uterus cause it feels funny around your large intestine, i tried to word that nice
    Must have had a huge growth spurt over a week!

    I started to feel twitches in the lower abdomen. At first that's what they felt like (muscle twitches) but they just remain in that same area and get more frequent and stronger! It's amazing. Im 24 weeks now and can feel bub moving all the time. It can get embarrasing though especially when bubs decided to do somersaults and knocked my bladder! Took my breath away in mid sentence! Was very embarrasing! Best of luck and enjoy!
