Baby or Gas?

[KaliBrooke]

I'm 15 weeks and not sure if what I just felt was the baby or gas. I'm 5 ft, and weighed 100 lbs. before pregnancy, so I'm very tiny and do have a belly already. I felt little bubbles on the left side of my tummy. I mean it felt like bubbles and didn't feel like bubbles at the same time. I don't really know how to describe it. I've never had gas feel like this before...normally my gas just makes me feel crampy. I just don't want to freak out and tell the whole world I felt the baby if it wasn't even the baby at all. Lol, so what did your first baby movements feel like and when did you first feel them?

At first I wasn't really even paying attention, but it kept happening and then it dawned on me that it could be the baby.

I had that feeling the other morning. I was laying flat on my back and out of nowhere I get the bumpy butterfly feeling. I freaked my boyfriend was worried I really think it was the baby.

I felt my first at 10 weeks. A little thump on the front of my tummy. Didnt feel him again for a few weeks but definitely felt him at 10. Smaller frames can feel sooner I think as long as placenta isnt in the way ;)

I can see what you mean about the bubbles. I'm 37 weeks and at 13 weeks I would feel things like that and more like muscle spasms. At first they tickle because we aren't used to feeling them but eventually they do feel like muscle spasms and then just get stronger. Eventually it feels like a baby in your tummy haha

@justimpatient79 Not yet. I was just relaxing in a recliner. It's the first time I ever felt anything.

I really think it's baby. It's a great feeling! (:

Im gonna agree with you my gas has never been nice to me it's only been crampy or hurtful. So I felt my baby moving last night & I knew it was the baby.I was only second guessing myself when I thought it was gas. Babies start moving @about 8 weeks or when they get legs & arms .so although you cant see it its your body you know what you feel although it's ununbelievable! Hope u get to the bottom of it

it kinda feels like a big hard bubble. lol best way to describe. you know when its gas and when its not. you maybe one of those who feels it early but i didn't get to feel mine that early lol. do you feel it when you lay on your back?
