Speaking of baby kicking ...

I'm almost at 17 weeks now and can't say that I've felt the baby kick yet!

What is it supposed to feel like? I get little spasms in my belly that last for a quick second every now and then. Is that the baby or just my belly growing??

I didn't feel the baby kick that early. I know some people do, but I didn't.
The little feelings you have now are probably the 'flutters' as some people call them.
Don't worry you will feel them soon.

My baby was a 'late kicker' and I didn't feel it (and KNOW that's what it was) till 21 weeks.

Don't worry! You may miss the flutters, but the first time you get jabbed, you'll know it!

I felt my Peanut at 19 weeks, 4 days. I was soooooooo impatient!!! I felt 3 little kicks just below my belly button and jumped for joy, literally!!! DH didn't get to feel him until almost 21 weeks.

It'll happen before you know it!!

Thanks for your support!! I was beginning to get paranoid, especially after my Dr. asked the other day and all I could say was 'No'.

I am now beginning to feel little kicks here and there, and I am 22 weeks.

Re: Speaking of baby kicking ...

I started feeling it around 17 weeks. Like popcorn popping...gas bubbles...bugs in my belly... But I could have EASILY missed it. Now it's more like bumps and knocks and much more frequently. Feeling that baby is going to make you feel much more 'mommy' than you do now. Promise.
