movements ?

[confusedteenager]

i am 18+5 today, i have had a 'rolling' feeling since yesterday.. this is my first pregnancy and I'm not sure what baby's movements feel like or when they are likely to start?

I too am 18+3 with my first and I've felt some funny feelings in the last few days :-). Felt like flutterings. But I have heard about baby's movements being described as a "shifting" feeling too. Someone, I think in here, did describe some movements feeling like if u tap your cheek whilst your tongue is pressed into your cheek as some of the feelings.

I'm hoping it's all meaning that bean is happy tucked up all warm!!!

Good luck!!

At first I thought it felt like an insect buzzing around ur tummy. .. with my son who was my 1st pregnancy didn't feel anything till 21 weeks but what your feeling is probably ur baby..at first the movement is quite little but as time goes on will get stronger and u will get actual kicks. X

Mine started to 18 weeks as well, think that's quite normal but it does depend on how much weight you carrying on your time and where your placenta is lying, some people hardly feel anything at all. I also got rolling movements, then it progressed to what I can only describe is like a popcorn on a saucepan lid in a few weeks - exciting times! Xx

Hi, I started to feel mine at 17 weeks. Daily from 18. I thought it felt like snapping an elastic band without the sting. It's odd. Still can't get head round it. Could see the ripples on my belly from movements from 20weeks, it gets stronger day by day. Now at 23 weeks it can push things off.

As others gave said, depends on the position of placenta, where it kicking/punching and your weight.
