    Red face I just want to feel my bub moving!!

    I am so impatiant!!

    I had 13 week u/s Monday and all is well (bub at 7.5 cm and h/beat at 154bpm so right on for 13.5 weeks) and bub was moving around - it was awesome to see but now I JUST WANT TO FEEL IT!!

    Do I really have to wait till 18 - 20 weeks!?!

    I would love to feel bub as I thinkit would put my mind at rest that all was good b/w u/s?
    Do I sound like a loony!?! I am currently 13w 3d and I think I am going to go insane waiting for 18 week u/s! After haveing a previus m/c I am quite anxious about loosing this much loved and wanted bub!

    Sorry to ramble!

    Kate,

    you definitely don't sound like a loony I was also super impatient about feeling DS move when I was pregnant, but due to an anterior placenta, I didn't feel anything until more like 22/23 weeks. But once it starts, it doesn't stop And I loved almost every kick, it's very cool.

    I know, how damn unfortunate is that wait?!!

    BUT, you might be lucky. Some do feel it earlier than others. I think I forst felt fetal flutters at sixteen weeks, but didn't feel the huge kicks until around twenty-two.

    Hope the time passes quick for you~!!!

    I miss baby kicks...

    Are you get any bubble feeling in your tummy? The only way I can describe it is like when you need to fluff and you get little bubbles in your tummy... Well thats your baby moving I hope you have that.. 13 weeks for bub 1 might be a little early but I felt my first at 17 weeks

    When you get a bit further along, lay in bed with the light on one night, and then after bewing still for a while take the doona off of your belly so the light shines on. This is how I first felt DS moving!

    Ok i so know how you feel. With #1 i felt her move at 15 weeks. This one i started feeling at 16 weeks (lil flutters before then and one small movement at 12.5 weeks) but ever since last week he hasnt stopped. I feel it now all the time. Mostly at night when im sitting down relaxing and sometimes during the day when im sitting.
    Don't stress about it, bubs will be moving and kicking before you know it and once he starts he wont stop.

    No thats perfectly normal I felt my first kick at 16 weeks with DS and this time around i felt it at 15 weeks. I find if i lie back propped up with pillows and have a really cold drink or something sugary bubs gets all kicky . Hope you feel it really soon hun xx

    Be careful what you wish for

    I felt my baby kicking at 17 weeks and it rapidly progressed to constant kicking in the bladder which made me feel almost incontinent, especially at night when I was trying to sleep. It lasted for about 4 weeks and it was really uncomfortable. I hardly slept during the night.

    Now thankfully the bladder kicking has calmed down. Today I'm sure baby was hiccoughing, my whole tummy was bouncing around.

    One thing you might want to consider: Thinner women tend to feel baby moving earlier. If that sounds like you, you could feel baby kicking in a few weeks.

    They say the best thing to do is lie on your back in a quiet room. for 15min or so.. and it feels different.. i wouldnt personally say butterflies or bubbles.. as I have never felt butterflies in my uterus!!

    Good luck!! and soon enough you will fell the baby all the time!!

    I was about 22 weeks with my first pregnancy when i first felt movement. I was actually really worried about the movement starting as it just seemed such a weird thing to feel.

    UPDATE:

    I was lying on the couch last night and I had this verry stange feeling in my lower belly - like bubbles rising up from my V to my belly button - it only lasted a few seconds but it is nothing that I have ever felt b4. I havnt felt it since but it is still early I guess...
    It was exciting what ever it was!!

    It's possible that was your bub.
    I felt my first at 17 weeks. I didn't know anything about pregnancy & was only 17. One of mum's friends asked me one day if I'd felt her move yet. I didn't even know I would feel it. I thought it was just a baby & big belly! I didn't know they moved too!
    That night I felt her.
    I reckon it kinda feels like wind at the start.
