Flutters?

OmiOmen · Oct 30th, 2009, 08:52 AM

I feel a bit dense asking this but how do you know when you feel genuine flutters?

Yeah weird you asking that cos I get weird little flutters in my tummy which feels how ppl describe the first kicking feelin you feel lol but obviously its not cos im only 11 weeks!! iv been told its between 18-24 weeks that you first start feelin it properly x

I have being told that some people feel them earlier. I can see how you know a kick is a kick but am not sure how you KNOW it is flutters. The past few days I have had some "new" feelings and I really do not think it is gas, lol.

it's like gas/bubbles but it's in a place where you never had gas, right in your uterus. 12 weeks is a bit too early for this, bubs is way too tiny.

Im 12 weeks + 5 and swear I have beeen having the same feelings, like a weird tickling inside, very hard to explain but been trying to figure is it baby or something else!

It is hard to tell, because some people can get it confused with Wind lol, i felt flutters at 16 weeks ( but this is my second pregnancy )

Id say it is still a tad bit early, baby is still really small... x

I have feeling that I will feel like I never feel them because they do not sound as obvious as kicks. Or is it one of those things that you just know when it happens.

It feels like a fish flopping in your belly

I felt it a few times just recently

I felt william moving at 11 weeks

its possible. At 15 I think I seen something poking out! he was a very active baby. I have footage of my stomch moving at 33 weeks. Ofically they say your not meant to feel it till 22 weeks but not true.

Don't listen!
You just know. Ok sometimes you might think it's wind, but it's in a different part of your stomach, an area I never get wind in!!

I had my first flutters 12+6 - so early
Even my best friend and MW think I am lying - and that hurts. I know my body and I know what I am feeling. At the end of the day at 13 weeks the baby is not really that small is it?!

So if you think it's flutter, take note next time it happens. Mine started so small at first, every other day or every 3 days. Now I know it's the baby and was the baby

Enjoy these moments!
