Baby moving...

Yesterday I hit the 18 week mark. For the last 2 weeks I thought I could feel the baby moving, kinda butterfly movements in my belly... well today for the first time in a while I sat down and was watching tv laying really still. I felt something moving so I put my hand on my belly and I could have sworn I felt something wiggling underneath... and right now I felt it again with my hand. I haven't really started showing, I have a smaller belly than you would expect at 18 weeks but everything is ok. Could I have really been feeling it or could it be in my head?

It took a while for my boyfriend to feel. I think since we know it's happening we expect them to feel it. But now he always feels and sees my stomach moving all weird he just laughs and kinda gets freaked out by it ahahah! He's even felt the baby hiccup

Thats how I always am. I want ny hubby to feel it the moment, I do, and then theres no movement lol. Ppl use to think it was in my head too, but I just knew. Now im 23 weeks with my 3rd and he can feel her all the time. Wait a few more weeks and im sure you and your fiance will both be able to catch a solid kick ;) congrats and take care

I tried having my fiancée feel and when I got up and moved closer to him it stopped. My friend thinks it's in my head because I have been wanting to show and feel something for a while now. It was like the best/weirdest feeling ever!

Ur most likely feeling baby. 18 weeks is a solid week to start feeling baby for a lot of women. Thats what week all 3 of my babies really started moving a lot.
