was it movement?

[loza]

Yesterday I had a different kind of feeling that i hadn't felt before, did feel a little like prodding and like fast movement a little. Felt this for a coulple of days and i thought it was just wind. but whilst sat at my desk at work could feel it so i lifted up my top to investigate....and i'm pretty sure i saw the right hand side of my belly looked like it was being pushed out it was weird shaped! i put my hand over it and the spot were i saw it was rock hard! only a second later it was softer like normal again. the reason why im asking and not too sure now is because people have told me im not far enough to feel these feelings yet im 18 weeks on saturday. and im still getting the same sort of feeling today, if i explain it it feels like im on a ride, my belly feels like im falling...like its tippling over! x can someone tell me if i might have felt it or if i might be imagining these feelings and sights? x thanks

at 18 weeks it is possible to feel flutterings and your baby moving but they are very light usually.

Id say that yes, it was movement that you felt when you say you belly flips like on a ride.

If this is your first then I would say yes as should start feeling movement between 18 and 20 weeks. Have you had the feeling of having butterflies as well, and a little sooner?
I can remember when I went in to have my daughter they ended up doing a scan to make sure she wasnt breach as they couldnt tell what was her head and her bottom.......turns out she wasnt breach......she just had a hard bum! lol

I remember feeling Mini Boo move round about 17 weeks. It felt like tiny flutterings in my tummy. I didn't actually see any movement there though for quite a while after that.

I found a great place to be for seeing movement was in the bath. I would just lay back and relax and watch for the ripples in the water!

yes when im sat down usually is when i get the feelings. they are like flutterings yes. like somethings is wafting about inside me. i was really excited when i felt them but then people started to say i was probably imagining it! oh well...il just wait and see if i can see the movements again, but for now im gonna try and enjoy the flutter feeling.! thank you all. xx

I had movements at 18 weeks. sights depends on how thin you are obviously the thinner you are the more visible. As im not that thin I can see movement but more like a blip not slow.
