I was 16 weeks...

Exactly when I felt my baby. I was getting a gender scan at an ultrasound studio. I felt something the same time I saw my son knocking on my uterus. It felt like my stomach was growling at first. The next week, he felt like a snake.

My 2nd little princess

This is my 2nd pregnancy and am so lucky to have a beautiful 3 year old now I am blessed with another girl. I am 24 weeks now and have got to say that this pregnancy is so different than my first one. I still get sick daily and can't eat a lot of foods that I used to eat before, so I have to be very careful with what I eat. My baby has started moving non stop in the last 2 weeks, I was a little worried at first but my doctor reassured me everything is fine. She is just very active and still has a lot of room to move around and dance in my belly. It still amazes me that there is a baby growing inside of me, life doesn't get any better. Love my daughter Jaelynn, new baby Skylar and my hubby Mark ❤

My Baby's Loves My Voice

I'm 11 Weeks 5 Days Pregnant With Twins :) Just Like Myself. Every Pregnancy's Different, I Can Feel My Little Sea Monkeys Move Tremendously When I Read Out Loud Or Sing, Its Hard To Explain Because There's 2 But Its Amazing, I Can't Wait To Meet These Ones. My First Pregnancy Went To 6 Months And I Felt Him Move At 13 Weeks.. But There Was An Accident And I Lost Him. So Happy To Be Pregnant Again :)

18 weeks

I first felt something in week 17, felt like a gas bubble rolling around under my skin between my belly button and my pelvis then whilst that was happening there was a random "thumping" sort of sensation! The best way I can describe it is "A water ballon being flicked from the inside" The last few days or whatever I KNOW FOR SURE it was my little ninja :) It's only a few pokes and prodes now and again - Usually at night when I'm sitting in bed or laying on my side. Last night I felt 3 clear prodes at 3 seperate times! Right after I had something to eat and drink and it was below my belly button where my belly is getting hard.

seeing movement at 13 weeks?

First of all, Congrats to all you other mommies! I am 26 years old, and 13 weeks with my second child. I have felt more than popping&crickets! I felt a tightness and looked at my belly and I could see a small bump that, within a span of 5 minutes, had moved to the left just a little, then my belly laid flat again. My first child was a huge kicker, but I experienced that much further along when I was I was pregnant with him. Has any one else felt and seen movement this early? It's dizzying to think about! :)

Not sure if I'm pregnant or it's gas

I sometimes get gas and I feel bubbly in my stomach but this feels different. My weight has increased so much. I have always been about95lbs no more than 100. I stepped on the scale last week and it said 114lbs. Ok fine. My breast are swollen and I have always been a 34b cup. At first it was my nipples and my breast sore and swollen. Nipples don't hurt anymore but my breast do. I have noticed a little weight in my stomach but I thought I was just get bigger. My girlfriend told me I was spreading. What does that even mean? She actually said I got wider. I am small and always have been. I'm 29 and most people think I'm about 17 or 18 sometimes younger. Am I pregnant?! What is going on? I went on deposit in September but it stopped working on dec17 so I couldn't be showing that fast could I?! Never been pregnant so this is weird for me
