is this normal?

Question

i was laying on my left side talking on the phone last night and out of no where i felt movement in my stomache i put my hand on it and felt something moving for he first so i looked and i can see my belly moving as if there was a heart beat sitting there on my right side going up and down then i would see my belly jump im worried is this normal or am i feeling the movement of a baby?16-17weeks

Answer 1

Definitely sounds like the baby moving. It's perfectly normal, sometimes things happen earlier. Everyone is different. Congratulations!

Answer 2

Very doubtful that this is the movement of the baby you are seeing if you are only 16 - 17 weeks pregnant. Movement starts to be felt around this time, but it feels like kind of little bubbles popping or butterflies fluttering inside and you can't see it at this stage. It could be your pulse (you have various points in your body where a pulse can be felt and there is one in the belly). Don't think there is much to worry about if you have no pain or spotting, but would suggest you phone your midwife or obstetrician (depending if you're in UK or US) and just check with them. Good luck, it's an exciting time, enjoy!!

Answer 3

If you are on the slim side its very normal. The thinner you are the quicker and earlier you see and feel your baby move. Your baby has been moving for a very long time now and its certainly nothing to worry about. Relax and enjoy your baby its all very normal.

Answer 4

I think your right on time ^_^

"Fifth month (17-20 weeks)

heartbeat can be heard with a stethoscope
finger and toe nails formed
sucks thumb
responds to noise
grows hair and eyebrows
movements become increasingly vigorous
At the end of the fourth month, the fetus is about ten to twelve inches long (half its length at birth) and weighs eight ounces to one pound."

Answer 5

What you note on everyday, is what's regularly occurring. get at the same time: in case you note someone hiccuping that oftentimes regularly occurring yet when its nonstop for days or months, that's likely no longer regularly occurring. also if someone replaced into born with some thing like six fingers on each hand received't look regularly occurring to us in spite of the undeniable fact that that's regularly occurring to that individual. So each each now and then that's a individual issue that no individual else will understand.

Answer 6

if your seeing you baby move your belly then sounds like you could be further gone i would ask the midwife at your next appointment its not likely going to be the heartbeat making the movement though more an arm or foot. but it is not un common to feel fluttering movements at your stage.

Answer 7

Yes,its the baby :o} Congrats!
Weird and wonderful feeling isnt it?
Youll be feeling more as time goes by,Its really funny when the baby has the hiccups and your tummy keeps bouncing.

Answer 8

Sounds like your baby moving, but it seems a little early to be actually seeing it. I didn't actually see my baby move to much later in pregnancy. Maybe the baby moving caused a little twitch in your belly or maybe you have a super baby. :)

Answer 9

Sounds like you are growing a future soccer star :) I use to lay the tv remote on my tummy and watch my son kick it off :) Sounds like the baby is kicking to me ... but if you are really concerned never hesitate to call your doc :)
Congrats on the pregnancy!

Answer 10

How thin are you/were you when you got pregnant? It is normal to see the baby move, but it is a bit early. However, it should be fine.
