Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Hello!!! I just have a questions, being a first timer, I have no idea what to expect here....Off and on since Friday, I have felt this "feeling" in my belly, I am not sure how to describe it, like little "pangs" maybe(?) They alone last a second but could that possibly be the baby? What have others felt? Is it really noticeable at first? Sometimes I think I am imagining it but it keeps happning, a couple of times on my left side but usually on my rt side. I was so stressed about the amino decision when I saw dr on Monday, I didn't think to ask her. Thanks. Take care. 18wks! Get more from the Web.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 I had the same thing were I thought I felt something but wasn't really sure. I don;t see why it can't be the baby. I bet you are going to start feeling something more definate real soon. Pam 28 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Being a first timer myself I cannot tell you if that's the baby or not, but I really started thinking about the things I've been feeling and there's like 4 different types of things I feel every now and then, but I have no clue if any of them are the baby...so I thought I'd tag on to your question and see what you and the others think. 1) sharp pains but don't feel like they're just in 1 area - (I think this is the ligament stretching thing I've read about), 2) a feeling like someone is pinching me from the inside, but no matter how I move they won't let go (but thankfully usually only lasts a for moment), 3) something that feels like a muscle spasm (like a nervous tick or something) in one very specific area at a a time, and 4) just a feeling like something is poking me from inside, not painful but just a sort of pressure from inside at one specific area at a time. That's it! -AmyR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 & AmyR, I’ve felt something similar as well. Like there’s something in there. I’ve only felt in a few times. I guess the baby is starting to weigh more and take up more room. Today I went to a dollar store behind my office to buy some buttons and ended up buying 7 summer baby outfits. They were only $3 apiece and they were absolutely adorable. They were really nice too, not dollar store quality. I figured I could return them or give them as shower presents if I can’t use them. It’s so hard to hold off and not buy anything yet. I have my u/s on 8/16 and since it’s in the late afternoon, dh should be able to come with me. That is such a praise as it is the week my ep baby would have come into the world. Janice 17weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 - It was hard for me to tell at first too. I started noticing little muscle spasms in the same area of my belly. I get the same sensations in my legs too. Plus, I was feeling what seemed to be gas, but I knew it was in the area where my uterus was. At 18w5d, finally the baby did a head but. It was stronger than anything I had experienced before, so I knew it was the baby. Then I realized, I must have been feeling it all along. They say if you suspect it's the baby, it probably is! a > > Hello!!! > I just have a questions, being a first timer, I have no idea what to expect here....Off and on since Friday, I have felt this " feeling " in my belly, I am not sure how to describe it, like little " pangs " maybe(?)

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Amy R. That sure does sound like some movement to me. I think I ws about 18 weeks before I felt some fluttering around in there. i guess it just varies with each person. I also remember asking my dr about the ligaments stretching and she said that it could very well be streching. I am sure it will be not long at all before your little one is moving alot! especially at night when you are trying to sleep!! Good Luck on you drs appt tomorrow I will be looking for your update.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 , Definitely sounds like movement to me sweetie. I should be an expert after four, isn't it the best feeling in the world?

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 , I'll bet it 's the baby!!! That's how it started for me, and as it got stronger, then I realized what I had been feeling. How exciting, I knew it would be happening for you soon. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 Janice, So far I have yet to buy any baby clothes, but my mother on the other hand...she LOVES to go to all the garage sales in the summer (she doesn't work so this is her little hobby). So far she has bought us a Harley son bike (hello! I'm going to have to store that for 2yrs before I can use it!), an activity gym, and like 3 bags of clothes...they are all in really good shape so I guess she did good there I think maybe I'll just sit back and not buy anything and see what she comes up with...just kidding, but the thought did cross my mind I'm glad dh should be able to go to the u/s with you. I just scheduled mine at 8am so dp could come with me...it's a lot easier for him to go in just a little late then try to get out early, so that should work! I can hardly wait and I'm sure you feel the same way!! -AmyR 17wk5d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
