| Is this baby kicking?
Hello people,
The last week or two I've been having twitching-type feelings left/middle of my lower abdomen (near my knicker line). Do you guys think this might be baby? It feels a bit like someone bouncing a ball in my belly. I would like to hope so but am a bit confused with it only being on one side - is this what you guys felt? Maybe baby is just comfy this side? (I'm 18+3 pregnant).
Thanks! | | | | Status: Offline

I think your baby is kicking Ive had movement for about a week not strong kicks yet and I only notice it when Im lying down sometimes its only on one side I heard if you rub you belly when the baby's kicking it can calm them down (not quite sure if its true) but it might help.

I'm Currently Feeling:  | my movements first felt like twitches. Like a muscle spasm (like when you get a little twitch by your eye?...but in your belly obviously¨) It's likely to only be on one side as baby isn't huge and doesnt fill your tummy. |

I felt it either on my right side, or on my left side. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Sounds like, most of the movements I felt at your stage (and still feel) are concentrated on my right side, I think she just likes it over there. |

| Hope so - how exciting! 
Really doesn't seem to change location in my belly much though - I always feel it either on left or in middle. Nice to know he/she is active in there though. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I was confused too when my LO Joseph first started kicking! The only words I could describe it as would have to be bubbles popping and like a muscle spasm.  Be proud, that's your LO dear! |
