Flutters?

So I'm a FTM and I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking for in terms of flutters and the baby kicking. Everyone says it's like flutters, bubbles or butterflies that can be confused for gas. Well last night as I was laying in bed I felt like a tapping feeling in my lower uterus. It felt like I was being tapped from the inside and was the weirdest sensation. Would this be my baby kicking? Or something else? I know I felt something but don't know if I'm just thinking that some other feeling is my baby since I'm so excited to feel my baby. I'm 16 weeks 4 days today!

Sounds like it could be! I was confused with my first as well. I had been told it was like butterflies or bubbles as well. To me it felt stronger than that. More like popcorn popping in my belly. Which still isn’t the most helpful description, I know. I started seeing her move pretty soon after, she was a strong girl. After the first couple times you feel it you’ll start to recognize it as movement. I’d say my second felt more like soda carbonation.

Yup it should be it. With my first I also felt taps at around 16 weeks. This time I actually started to feel little taps this morning, at 13 weeks 2 days. But my baby is measuring 14 weeks and 3 days, so that might be why I feel it sooner 😅❤️

@Tanya Yay I was really hoping that it was him! I've been so stressed between appointments not knowing if he's okay so I've been impatiently waiting for any signs of flutters or kicking

It’s 6 am and me and my so just finished what we would call baby dancing and I usually orgasm but he did before I could and let me tell you I always get this huge cramp when I do so I kno baby girl doesn’t like it but today at 14 weeks and 3 days she’s been going off i thinks she’s thanking me for not having an orgasm I know it’s flutters because it’s way to consistent and no gas yet I’m just laying in bed lol enjoying every second I know it’s her

I also have no idea what to expect but as a fellow FTM at 14 weeks 5 days, I’ve been thinking how i could start feeling things in a week or so, so this thread helped me know what to look out for! Thank you!
