Baby Movement Feel Like?

So I'm laying in bed and think I felt a couple small poke-like movements in my lower stomach. I'm a ftm, almost 19 weeks and am curious what the baby's first movement felt like for you other mommies. I'm not completely sure if I felt baby or not!

Hi hun! Sounds like baby moving, i first felt mine at just over 13 weeks. Its almost like a ripple feeling/bubble. Its strange i only ever feel the movements on my left side though. Apparently if you try drinking something really cold the baby should be more likely to move so my midwife told me :) xx

Well congrats :) that's my favorite part of pregnancy. Every night I get a video of my belly moving all sorts of ways and send it to my hubby, since he only comes home on the weekends. He loves to see her moving. And it's every night that I get a video lol don't know why, it's no different from the night before.

That's also why I was curious because I have been super gassy with this pregnancy... lol

I've been anxious since I hit 18 weeks! Can't wait to feel it and be able to see it! :) :) I honestly probably wouldn't have even noticed it if daddy was kissing up on baby, that's when I felt something right after. It was so quick and sudden!

I'm sure that's baby! I mean, think about it. I found myself thinking ALOT about, "am I gassy right now?" Lol sounds silly, but if you're not feeling bloated or gassy, it's more than likely baby! My first I felt around 18 weeks, this one I felt around 20 :)

When I first started feeling baby move it was like gas bubbles popping and muscle spasms that was at about 22 weeks. Now at 36 weeks he's rolling all over the place and changes my bellys shape...it almost hurts this far....

Well, the first movements you feel. You're gonna love it! I'm 24 weeks now and you can see my babies hands and knees glide across my belly, it's the best best best feeling.

The first movements are usually quick pokes :)

I still don't really know when i felt the first movements until i felt a strong kick. Its hard to tell if its gas bubbles or actual movement. It definitely could have been the baby moving though!
