    Talking feeling movement from the outside/seeing it?

    over the last few days i think i've felt movement from the outside.
    and today while on the phone i *think* i saw it. as in a little bump that poped up and dissapeared really fast! is that movement from the out side? and for when i have my hand on my belly its like i can feel a bump and it "pops"...im guessing thats a kick/punch. i think i also copped one on the baldder while i was talking to a friend of mine on the phone....

    i've also read babies in utro are more active toward 12am. i have a strange little bub mine starts moving around 5am untill maybe 6:30. thats when i've felt all of my kicks the last few days, and every time i call DF to feel it blip plays possum and stops! so poor DF is getting frustrated!

    has any one elce felt out side movement yet? for any one whoes had a baby before is this what it feels/looks like?

    I felt it last night and this morning for the first time!! And now it won't stop moving, lol. That's what it feels like for me too, kinda like a muscle twitch? And it pokes out and hits my hand if I have it there. Mine is hard for DH to catch too, cheeky little buggers!

    If you have a search on youtube some people have videos of their bub moving from the outside. It's really cool to watch if you haven't been there before.

    Yep you're right!! That's your baby moving and you can see it from the outside!!
    I experienced this for the first time about 4 nights ago!! I was sitting still watching my belly for about 10mins waiting and waiting and then it happened and I saw this little bump in my skin pop up! It was the BEST thing ever!! I hope DH sees it with me next time....

    DH and I have felt our baby from the outside with our hands for the last 2 weeks it's very exciting.... ENJOY!!

    Sometimes my baby is really active in the mornings, other times really active in the evenings!! Today, bubs is sleeping ALOT haha

    I reckon 20 weeks onwards is the best part of pregnancy
