I'm 7 weeks pregnant. I have experienced some bloating, hardly any cramps. My doctor told me this was normal. However, last night and this afternoon I've been feeling some movement in my uterus. Normally, I'm really sensitive to things for example, before I got pregnant, I could feel when I was ovulating and right after conception, I could feel the wall of my uterus thickening. Is it possible that I can feel the placenta, sac and embryo growing?

It does feel like butterfly wings. So, this is normal?

NO, you are probably just hoping to feel it and that makes you think gas, ect. is the baby. you might can feel the stretching of your uterus, but not baby movement.

Hiya. I am 17 weeks pregnant with my second. My first baby i felt movement at 16 weeks and this time round i know for definate i first felt movement at a mere 10 weeks. Tiny flutters they were. My first scan showed the baby wouldnt keep still and is quite a mover. It was trampolining repeatedly off my uterus! Really funny. So, i would say anything is possible. I too was highly bloated at the start and the specialist said it was progesterone causing it. I think perhaps the bloating has pushed baby to the front so you can feel tiny movements. Remember, everyone is different, but that is just my opinion. Best of luck and enjoy your pregnancyx

No, your baby is not big enough yet for you to feel movement---you will not start to feel the baby until around 16 weeks, which is around 4 months--then you will definately feel moving, kicking, stretching and other movements from the baby---and the growth is so slow during pregnancy that you cannot actually FEEL it-good luck and make sure to keep asking your doctor if you have any more questions.

Your body is very sensitive to everything that is going on within you. I wouldn't be surprised if you do feel your embryo growing, I never heard of anyone feeling this but you are one of a kind. Ask your doctor and see what they think. Enjoy your pregnancy and I wish you all the best.

No, it would be impossible to feel movement this early. What you may be experiencing is stretching. You will not feel your baby move until 16-20 weeks approx. When it does happen, you will be amazed and there will be no doubt what you are feeling.
Congrats and take care!

the baby is the size of a grain of rice. If you can feel a piece of rice moving through your body then sure... maybe.
How on earth can you feel the uterine wall thickening? Thats physically impossible, there arent nerve receptors for that.
Its probably just gas :)

The embryo is not *** enough for ou to feel movement at this stage, the baby is just a tiny embyo. Hope this helps -Janet

your baby is about the size of a grain of rice,it's impossible to feel your baby moving at 7 weeks or to feel your baby growing those "butterfly wings" you say your feeling is most likely gas

It's probably gas. But some people are very sensitive to movement in the womb.

Most likely not. Everything is so small! At 6 weeks my baby was 0.57 cm! Not even 1 cm long. Pretty remote chances. It's probably just gas.
