I cannot tell if my baby is moving or not. 18 weeks and not sure what feeling to look for....


I have had wierd feelings all throughout pregnancy and recently I have had a small thump feeling (which is like feeling a very strong heartthrob, but only one throb at a time and in my lower pelvic region) This has happened maybe 3 times today that i noticed. I have also had feelings of sort of twisting and turning of the insides a few times a week ago, which i thought could have been it but since these are both different feelings and I am not familiar with either of them, I have no clue if this is what it is or not. Besides "fluttering, bubbles, popcorn, etc..." how else can you describe so that I can relate with thsi a little more to know if thsi is what is happening. I dont want to miss out on this by not knowing what I am looking for.

I'm 33 weeks now but eary on it felt kinda light bubbles or kinda like gas :). It's hard to tell cause the baby is so small just try to relax and enjoy there's more movement to come as your baby gets bigger good luck!

That's actually what mine felt like (the thump, almost like a muscle spasm). I never thought my little one felt like "fluttering", more like a vibration early on that did feel VERY different than her kicks. As time progressed it started to feel more like a muscle spasm / poking feeling when she kicked. :)
