    Hiccups! Thats what it is. I was freaking out because for some reason i saw the soft kick-like feelings that were happening rythmically meant something was wrong.
    I get them all the time!! At least two or so times a day. And bubby moving doesn't seem to stop them either.

    I feel better now. Although they annoy the heck out of me. I really don't enjoy them in the slightest.
    Kind of a cute thought that my little mans in there with hiccups. Hehe

    I love when the baby has hiccups. It's just the best!! I had a sonography session and the baby was hiccuping then too - so we got to see it.

    DS hiccuped heaps - and still does. He's funny when he hiccups - I say to him, "I remember when you used to do that before you were born." He just looks at me funny and says, "No, mummy."

    Does anyone else find it confusing trying to work out whats happening inside them or is it just me?

    I've felt heartbeat which I just assumed was mine as wasn't particularily fast. Also didn't think it would be possible to "feel" this through the layers - especially as OB can find it difficult to locate on doppler at times

    Also felt what I can best describe as bubbles - sometime just one or two and then other times they keep going for a minute or so. Had assumed the bubbles were how the kicks felt in the early days. They have changed slightly over the last week or so but still don't feel like an actual kick? I don't see my stomach move when it happens so not sure.

    Poor hubbie is hanging out to be able feel the baby move/kick and I keep saying soon soon but don't think he believes me anymore
