Is this what my baby's movement feel like or is it too early?

Question

I am 13w1d pregnant with my first child. I have recently been feeling bubble like movement in my lower left abdomen. I told myself that it is too early and that it must be gas, but I was wondering if this really could be the baby moving. I can put my hand on my stomch and can feel the movement, but since I am a first time mom and really excited, I'm not sure. I am a pretty slender woman, 5"10" 142 now, about 135 prepregnancy. The last ultrasoud we went to, the baby was jumping all over the place! Just don't know!!!

Answer 1

Could be. For me it felt like a butterfly and he is very active now, just like he was inside the womb.

Answer 2

I too felt the baby at about that time. Felt like a little butterfly. And I was very thin too. I was sitting on a truck with my legs up, and couldn't believe that that was what I was feeling, but only a few weeks later it got stronger. He ended up being a big healthy boy who was active the whole pregnancy. Liked to get up under the ribs and kick or stretch.

Answer 3

That is probably not your baby. You are too early to be able to feel it internally, let alone externally. It is probably just gas. You can't feel it from the outside until about 23 weeks.

Answer 4

I'm 15 weeks and have felt my baby. I first felt him at 14 weeks. It could very well be your baby your feeling! What a wonderful thing!!! Congrats!

Answer 5

I would say that you are right that is your baby moving. I felt mine that early too. Congratulations and good luck!

Answer 6

could be ....and it does feel like little gas bubbles...but give it some more time and wait until you feel the real kicks and punches..lol...good luck and congrats..

Answer 7

most likely it is - some mothers-to-be can feel movt. as early as 8 weeks if they are alert to it. congratulations.

Answer 8

i doubt if it's the baby at 13 weeks.
