my baby moves but it dosen't feel like butterflies or anything like that. i'm almost 17 weeks along and i feel as though the whole baby comes to the surface and moves. i can feel it with my hand. it moves from left to right or sometimes it stays in the same place and can feel like it with my hand... is this normal? its my first baby and this dosen't hurt so idk...

I am 25 weeks and just started feeling the lil bugger move. He kicks all over! Most women feel the fetus move at some point in the day; yet, I feel it all day! I was just at the movie theater and couldn't even sit still cuz the kicks were coming fast and furiously. I think its kicks and punches cuz they come from all angles at the same time. Maybe I'm having a lil boxer? Good luck.

I'm 24 weeks and have been feeling my baby move since week 16. The movements are getting stronger every day, and are most noticeable when I am sitting or laying down. My husband has even felt our little breakdancer at night! I love feeling the baby move, and it is so exciting to both of us!

I'm not quite sure exactly when I noticed the movement of my baby and feeling it but I'm 20 weeks now and been feeling it quite often. I just lay there and feel "gentle pokes" I'm not too sure about the "fluttering" that's not what it feels like to me. It feels more like a little ball bouncing from inside, randomly poking at your stomach. Lol. That's the best way I can describe but it doesn't hurt one bit, more like a tickle, I tend to laugh when I just lay there and feel the baby. Best feeling ever, especially when you're feeling a little down and baby starts kicking and moving, it changes my whole attitude instantly. :-) 1st pregnancy by the way so I'm definitely overwhelmed, excited, just filled with emotions and I sure can't wait for the baby to be in my arms... As far as I'm concerned, it is a boy. After just one ultrasound recently, I was told it was a boy but I do want to make sure so ill be getting one pretty soon. Congratz to all of you!
