is this kicking that i'm feeling?

it may sound silly, but these are my first babies, and i'm just not sure....

the past couple of days i've been feeling little pangs... they don't hurt, or feel fluttery like other people describe early kicks... more like gas or something, but higher up. i'm 19wks, almost 20.

could it be the babies? or would it feel more like... something? it's just a very vague sensation.

Most likely it's the babies It's around that time you feel bub move for the first time.. and as there are two of them I'd imagine you feel it sooner (don't know if that's right or not tho).

I remember a friend of mine describing her baby moving/kicking as having an alien trying to get out through your belly skin. To me it's a mix between moving gas on your abdomen and those butterflies you feel when hubby gives you a hot unexpected make out session....ok TMI.

It sounds like you are feeling your baby. I'm going to miss that after she's born.

hahah I love that explanation! too cute!

to me it feels like gas bubbles... infact I often think "is this baby or is this gas?" and I wonder how often I attribute one to the other.... and this is my 3rd pregnancy hehe

i'd say its the babes. it'll go from a slight feeling of like fingertips in your belly too full on kicks, hard ones, all the time very soon so enjoy the peace while you can!! congrats =]

Its most likely the babies. When Hunter first started to kick it felt like an air bubble or something. Then around 16 or 18 weeks you could feel it on the outside of my tummy. Pretty soon your babies will be making your tummy move with all their movement. Enjoy!

I would guess that it's the babies as well. I felt my DS at 16 weeks, and then realized that vague "different feeling" I had for 2 weeks was indeed the baby. The way I could tell was that I'm so used to sensations from gas that I don't notice it. When the baby was moving, my attention fixed on it. "Whoa, is this gas?" If I had to ask, it probably wasn't gas.

ok you guys were right... definitely is the babies! i put my hand on a spot where i was feeling the "gas" yesterday, and sure enough felt a little something dh felt it too, so i know i'm not crazy! so exciting, but absolutely not what i was expecting!
