Kicking bubba

[Ghosty1]

Hiya

Please could someone give me an indication for an actual baby kick. I get the flutters, have done for about a month, lots of twinges and stitches, i just dont know what to look for as in a feety kick...I'm excited as I know my baby boy has big feet xx

I would describe it as a popping feeling to start with. I’m 28 weeks and I can feel allsorts of weird and wonderful feelings now!

I had a popping feeling a while ago but haven't had it since just the fluttering tickling feeling. I think seeing a foot stick out of my stomach will be more reassurance and make it more real x

How many weeks are you?

I can’t wait to see a body part sticking out, I don’t think I’ll be far off, she feels like she’s trying to escape 😂🙈 x

I am 22 weeks to probably early days still. I am just impatient wanting that added reassurance xx

[JessRose in reply to Ghosty1]

I felt baby really early so I already had a pattern of very clear pops at 22 weeks. But I know I was lucky in feeling her from around 15/16 weeks! They say watch out for patterns from 24 weeks.

Absolutely get that. It does help with reassurance x

I have just had a responsive message Haha I just scraped my fingers over my bump soft scratches over my tshirt, I got a flutter straight after that's amazing. It would be amazing to have a feet or hand sticking out ...my baby boy is gonna be a strong fella with all the dairy I consume x

Its like a gentle poke sometimes hard to know if its a kick or a punch but as you and he get bigger you can sometimes but not always work out whats what !!! either way its another reassurance thats all ok in there even if you have an all night raver like me!!! Enjoy xxxx

I suffer with horrendous insomnia so I think if I had an all night raver atleast I have company in the middle of the night x

[ALLY81 in reply to Ghosty1]

Haha me too !! Xxxx

If you want some company at 2am on wards then I'm awake, I am on Facebook if you ever want a chat 😃

Ive found it like a poking/pop feeling but depending where their lying I didn’t always get them daily early on. For me up until about 26 weeks baby was always most active in the night which was lovely to keep me company but now I’m starting to get some very strange feelings like I’m sure either a foot or a hand gets stuck occasionally which is amazing xx
