Baby moving?!

[isntsure]

Ok sounds I know there was an earlier post about this but I wanted to post this anyways. I'm 16weeks 3days and i was poking at my abdomen when all of the sudden I totally felt this huge movement like someone just somersualted inside of me. It did not feel like a gas bubble it was way to strong to be gas. And then I felt all warm and happy. And I touched where I felt the movement and it was all hard there. Is that how it feels when your baby moves? I know it was the baby and it was the first time I've ever been for sure the baby moved but I was just wanting to know if that's how it feels to you guys. Or how it feels to you?

Maybe that's how I got the baby to move! I was drinking a ton of orange juice the other day because I've been craving it lol. Thanks for the tips I will definitely try them :)

I do my best to try and keep my hand on my tummy i notice more movement if i just had a big glass of ice water or orange juice.  You can have a day or two where you might not be able to feel anything dont worry to much it could be babys lazy day or your placenta is taking the blows from ur baby so you wont be able to feel anything.  If i get worried i just chug a glass of ice water always works for me.

Alright that makes me feel better :) I was worried because I've only felt that one big movement today and a couple tiny tiny ones. But I'll be expecting more movements from now on :)

I was 16weeks when i felt the big movement and from then on the nudges are getting more frequent and stronger.  With the baby still being so small your not going to feel every movement i sure dont, i can count anywhere between 8-20 a day and i feel them all day but the big move i feel it around 2pm.

When did you first feel the big movement? Now that I've felt my baby I really want the baby to keep moving around but the baby has only given me a little tiny bump since that is wouldn't have even noticed if I wasn't trying to pay attention for movement. When do you usually feel the big moves? I felt it at around 9 or 10am.

Im 17 weeks and 3 days and i know exactly what you are talking about.  When i felt the first big movement it felt like a knee or elbow went from the top of my uterus to the bottom in a rolling movement.  It shocked the hell out of me...ive been feeling about 1 of those movements everyday and just nudges the rest of the day.

Thanks :) so it's normal for it to feel hard where the baby just moved? Or do you think that the hard part is felt was the baby pushing up against me? I'm so happy I finally felt my baby :) I've been waiting for this for forever and hope to feel many more movements soon :) Oh and I meant "Ok so" not "ok sounds" lol :)

Yes, that is how it feels in the beginning. You are 16 weeks so I'm sure it was the baby. welcome to the most joyful part of being pregnant! :)
