That Feeling Deep Inside
Ya know, just the other day I was sitting down and felt something that felt like...being tickled deep inside. Or maybe it felt like an itch deep inside your ear that you can't reach, except it was in my stomach. I can't quite decide.
Then I felt it again. And again. And again.
I was like "What is going on down there! I feel like I'm being tickled, except I don't want to laugh."
And then I realized it was the baby. I've been having this feeling for a week or two but haven't really paid attention to it. It would go away as quickly as it came so, I never even thought about it.But now if I don't adjust myself I'll feel it for awhile. I can't tell you I like that feeling. It feels way too weird. So as soon as I feel it, you can see my squirming around in my seat, trying to find a new position where I don't feel that..feeling.
During my first pregnancy, I didn't feel anything early on. But most women during their first pregnancy don't. And I kinda wish I didn't this time. It feels like someone is inside with a feather or something, running it across the walls of my..well. I don't really know exactly where it starts. Because I feel it deep in the pit of my stomach and other places as well.
I just want to tell that baby "Hey, can you calm down in there? All your moving is making me feel weird!" But, I know it won't listen anyway. It's too busy enjoying all the space it has right now. Who can blame it, really? One day soon it'll be all crunched up, ready to come out and see the world.
And hey, this is better than getting my ribs kicked. No matter how funny thisfeels, having hurt ribs is never any fun. Especially when they kick the same spot over and over. And over. And over. And over again.
Sigh. I have so many things to look forward to in the coming months. And it's all worth it.

I just felt the first movements on my birthday two days ago. It was a lot sooner than last time I was pregnant. But also, I remember after I wasn't pregnant anymore, I felt something and instantly thought it was baby movement, and then remembered I wasn't pregnant.
I wonder how often I think it's baby kicks when it's really just tremendous amounts of gas.
I can see how that would be annoying, but if it were happening to me I'd be overjoyed at being pregnant. I want a baby SO badly...
i didn't like the way that it felt when my daughter was moving around at first either. it felt weird. but after a while i loved it
I was okay with the moving until they got bigger. When you could see the outline of an entire foot on my stomach it was time for that little bugger to get out.
I felt my baby at 14 weeks 4 days. It felt like someone tapping you with a finger. I never really got uncomfortable, but he stayed transverse until the last few weeks, so that may have something to do with it.
Cherish those feeling. My son just passed away a little under two months ago and I would give anything to feel him tickle. I also have a friend whos baby didn't move enough and it turned out he had a rare form of paralysis that made his lungs stop working shortly after birth.
Not trying to be scarey or anything. Just a reminder to enjoy every part of your pregnancy, the good and the uncomfortable.
Thats how I felt when I was pregnant =// I lost my baby last week and I agree with greenwoman, not trying to be pessimistic, enjoy every part of your pregnancy its one of the most beautiful that can happen :)

I'm sorry for both of yalls losses...
I was able to feel my son's kicks at 16 weeks. I was (at the time) the most amazing thing I'd ever felt. Now, his hugs take the cake for that title, but I loved his kicking. What I didn't like was when he'd stretch out under the left side of my ribcage and lock his knees (feet out). That was agonizing! I'd push his feet back and he'd kick me as hard as he could... OUCH!
I LOVE feeling my baby move around in there, every time it is kind of a simple reassurance that everything is okay and that he's doing just fine. I welcome any chance I get for him to remind me that he's there just as active as always. If I didn't feel anything, or if I felt very little movement then I'd honestly probably just be worried.
