Faint twitches and not flutters - what is that?!

KamKol · Nov 17th, 2009, 05:09 AM

A lot of ladies here tell me about feeling flutters which is the baby moving. I haven't really felt any flutters as such, but have felt faint twitches...is that the baby???

I feel it about 2 inches below my belly button - could it be gas or baby? I sound so thick! lol

I get a "pin prick" like sensation around my belly button. Not sure what that is either!

YUP!!! How exciting!!!

I never felt flutters. I went from twitches to kicks pretty quick.

Yes, twitches is definately baby. Mine were just like this - never felt flutters at all. I think that everyone just feels/desribes things differently!

I have twinges too and I originally thought it was baby, but now I think it is more like little growing pains as everything is expanding .... we'll see ... :-)

Haha, that's exactly how I feel! There's always a little bit of doubt at the back of my mind and I'm thinking, "hmm...was that the baby? Naaa, must have just been some wind!"

I always decribed mine as a twitch. I never really had the "flutters", it was always twitches and then as she got stronger you can feel full out movements.

Congrats. I couldnt wait to feel her and now I am so amazed at how strong she got in such a short time!
