Did I just feel the baby kick from pushing into my abdomin???

17 weeks/4 days preggo.  I was laying on my back propped up like usual,watching tv. Unfortuantely sick today..blah..The wonderful sore throat body aches and slight fever. By the way what temp should it be to have to go to the hospital? Was it 101? Anyways,i pushed in my abdomin and felt this....how to i explain it, punch i guess but mild. I hate the fact and i cant tell if its gas or the baby. I feel little flip flops but i have gas alot too. But what are the odds of feeling a gas bubble at the spot I push in on? Can you pop a gas bubble by pushing it? Thanks :) I still dont feel movment but i could be i guess and thinking its gas. I know at this stage it takes a good kick or punch to feel them.

LOL...i dont even eat any sweets and she kicks like a crazy kid. The pregnancy didnt even really start to feel real till i started feeling the movements. I mean yeah i knew that i was pregnant and i saw the baby at 7 weeks, but its not real till you feel the movement and realize that you and your other half created life. I dont even drink and im rushing to the bathroom. The worst for me is right when i finish i feel like i gotta pee again, and sometimes when i sneeze i pee myself...so embarassing, but aint no one here to laugh at me. Yeah i caught a cold when i first got back to hawaii from maryland. But it went away before i knew it. Dont be depressed, enjoy the last few months that you have and then after hes gone you can be all moppy. That is what i did. It never hit me that he was gone till about a week after and sleeping alone got to me and waking up at 830 instead of 430 to kiss him and hug him before he went to work. Its hard trust me, but before you know it he will be back. I would LOVE to have some here to rub my back, i been having the worst back pain ever. Yeah this is my parents first grandchild and they have pretty much disowned it as of now. But thats there own fault. We move soon too, and im excited. I kind of dont want my child to be around my family cause im afraid that they will brain wash her like my family has done. I been feeling good, besides my tiredness. Yesturday i didnt even do a single thing and fell asleep at like 12pm woke up at 2 and then fell back asleep till lik 530. I was SO tired. I dont have alot of strength to do much, but i push myself because i have to have this house somewhat together before he gets home. Yeah he does come home soon and im not ready. The house is a MESS. I dont have much, and what i have is a mess cause i cant move it on my own. Im going insane. And its getting closer i make 30 weeks on sunday. There is just TOO much for me to take on. Sometimes i wish that i had never moved the Maryland. I would of still had a job and would of felt alot better with a place i had more then 4 months to get ready. But it was the best choice at that moment in time. Now im just blabbing...

Maybe i should drink some coffee and eat some ice cream :) lol That'll get him moving! Aww thats so nice you can feel that all the time. Makes the pregnancy more real. I noticed an increase in using the bathroom pretty much 30min after i drink. Not fun when your grocery shoppin lol. Ive been ok, im really sick today with some kind of bug/flu and feel awful! I think im startin depression too, mostly because my husband is leaving in 2 months :( I dont know what i will do without him! Whos gonna rub my back now? lol Not to mention we will be moving (who knows where) and its my parents first granchild. How are you feeling? Are things getting a little better? Your hubby will be home soon!!

LOL! Trust me i had to wait a few days before i felt her kick again. And now she wont stop kicking, she kicks so hard sometimes that it feels like someone is trying to shake me to wake me up. Its insane. And the worst is that she moves around so much that she kicks my bladder so about very 30 mins im walking y pregnant butt to the potty. But i love every single second of it. How have you been laltely? I been a little out of it, been SUPER tired.

aww I hope it was the baby, it caught me by suprise. Ive been feeling my abdomin hoping to find something because i havent really felt anything. LOL thats funny! I will try that next time. I cant wait until they become more distinct then i dont have to ponder it was gas or not lol I feel like i have trouble finding my uterus.

How cute! That does sound like the baby..... around that time (18 weeks) the can respond to pushing and poking! You can normally feel them more too if your lying flat on your back!

You know I'm 18 weeks today and I know I've felt the baby move a couple of times and by the way you are describing it, it sounds like you did feel it moving.  I was told LOL that in order to tell whether it is gas or not to push right after you feel it and see if you leak gas LOL.  It sounds dumb but in a way it makes sense.  My mom also told me to go in the room or on the floor lay flat and see if you feel anything.
