how do u feel your baby?

Hi! Im 21 weeks pg almost 22, and my doctor told me that at 5 months I was going to start feeling my baby. This is my first baby and I don't know what do u exactly feel? Sometimes I feel like I have a lot of water in my stomach and something is moving with a little weight or like if my heart went down to my tommy and it starts beeping like kicking it. Is that my baby? What do u pg girls feel when you said that you baby moves?

Lay all the way on your back (: at about 18 weeks it felt like popcorn popping or, not to be gross lol, but my doctor said it feels like lassie gas that doesn't pass, and that feeling is your baby. By 19 weeks i was feeling the baby kick and now at 22 I can see him move just by looking at my belly! So awesome! They say though depending on your build and weight gain it can take longer for some women. I am 5'7 and just got up to 145 lbs (gained 10 see far)

23 weeks, and I started out feeling bubbles around 18 weeks, and getting stronger from there. This week, it feels like thumping. You know when you're at the movie theater or in an airplane, and the person behind you kicks the seat? That's the feeling I've been getting all week :)

At first it'll be faint middle spasm feelings, or think about how you get bubbly gas and it's like that minus the gas and pain... Second time Mom and I've been feeling baby since very early since I knew what it would feel like. Husband finally feeling the kicks too!! 22weeks :)

At first they feel like bubbles popping. They will get progressively stronger. I'm 23+5 and it's still not much but I was told 25 weeks they get harder.

I was 21 weeks with my first when I felt her move. I could only feel it when i layed completely still on my back. Then it kept getting stronger. Felt like a butterfly.

I was flat on my back and felt her first kicks at week 19.
It was pretty cool.
Also FTM. :)
