    Thanks for your note Tara, I don't feel so bad now!

    On Friday when eating lunch, it went flutter, flutter, on my right side and it was really obvious! (to me anyway). I was sitting with a whole bunch of work mates (we have an office lunch every Friday) and I think my eyes nearly popped out of my head. I didn't put my hand on my tummy because that would have been very obvious.

    But I really do think it was bubba and it did really freak me out! Just because I thought it was too early.

    Nothing more since though. I'm going to ask them on Thursday if it's sitting more on the right as when ever I've had those feelings they are always on the right side.

    Michelle71 - I think at 7 weeks is too early as it's just a sack and blob still. It would have more likely been your uterus moving and growing. But if you're feeling something now, it's a good chance it's the bubba. When's your next scan??

    Kazbah, I would say at the stage you're at, it's definately the bubba!!!!

    With pg #1, I was around 19wks and it felt like bubbles that ran down the side of my tummy - I jumped!! LOL!!!

    When I went for my ob appt, the midwife asked if I had felt bubs move and I said that I think I must've had a lot of gas!! Then when I described what I was feeling, the midwife smiled and reassured me I had been feeling bubs all along!!

    Just wait for when littl'n is much bigger and decides to have a big stretch!! :eek: I felt like DD was going to push her head right through the side of my belly and/or get her feet stuck in my rib cage!!!!!! Quite a wild feeling!!!

    Michelle71 - phew!! It's not just me who either has imaginitis or an athlete growing!! LOL!!! Altho, after our 10wk scan, littl'n wouldn't budge so I think that maybe I am leaning towards pg brain moment!! I felt the same bubble sensation as I had with #1 a week before my u/s (so I would've only been 9wks) but until I feel a mother of a kick, I think I'll keep that thought under my hat!! Heehee!!!
