very curious...

So lately I've been getting feelings in my belly like a muscle spasm like type movement but not very strong and when this happens I instinctively or out of reflex I guess tighten my abdominal muscles. That's the best I can describe it. The feeling isn't centered it's off to the left by a little which is where I've felt my uterus since it came up out of my pelvis. I guess my question is did anyone else experience this? Did you figure out what it was? I'm hoping I'm feeling the first of my baby's movements (quickening). I'm 15 weeks and this only just started about a week ago.

Yea kind of like a little bubble rolling around in there. I would take my t.v remote and put it on my tummy where i felt the movement and my baby would kick or move and make the remote shake :)

I think that's why I always giggle, just the thought that it might be my baby moving or doing whatever in there. Unfortunately it stopped for now tho :( and every once in a while I feel like a slight nudge or like a small amount of pressure and then it just slowly eases away, did that happen when you felt your baby start moving?

Yes almost exactly! It happens a few times a day and it only lasts a few minutes at a time, except tonight it's been going on about ten or 15 minutes already after I started eating and sitting in bed. It almost always make me giggle too, Lol Idk why.
