Its such an amazing feeling when u Do start to feel them move more and more. A reminder that there doing good. It feels like there rolling around like a whooshing feeling.. the more u feel it u'll realize it Not gas.wait till they stretch inside thats when u feel pressure on ur bladder. During the last trimester more in the last 8 wks there getting so big and running outta room and thats when u see the kick from ur stomach! Too cool!

This is my first pregnancy and I started to feel the baby move at 17 weeks. I compare it to as if your belly is popping popcorn. Lay on your back and be still and put your hands just below your belly button,  if baby is active you'll get to feel that popcorn too! It is the most amazing feeling,  it just makes me smile and smile. ..every time is spent feel him/her I yell to my husband POPCORN!
