Previously I heard from friends' experience and read from books that the baby's first movement should be felt around 5th month (20th weeks) or 17th weeks onwards (if to feel it earlier) and how it should feel like gentle, fluttering sensation at first, but get stronger and more obvious as time passes. Also can be described as "bubbling sensation".
Today I think I felt it! More than once some more!!!
First time in the morning, I felt something like a soft thud at my front abdomen. I was hesitant and got stunned a while. Was that it?
Then in the afternoon, I felt a slight bubbling short wave passing my left side of abdomen. I felt the instinct was even greater! Very highly cuz I never felt that way before, and it is so similar to what my friends told me about her experience! I think that's Baby Yam's hand!
Third time was a small tiny punch (more like a nudge bah) around top front part of abdomen.
I got so thrilled with all these small little movements felt for the first time!!! I quickly emailed hubby to describe to him and he got so excited too..hoping to feel them too.. Guess he gota wait for a while longer when Baby Yam gets bigger and punches/kicks harder lor! At that time I think I will suffer yet suffer happily...
I shall monitor for the next few days and see if the nudges can more frequent and to confirm that that's really the movements I've been waiting for!
Hi tian tian, I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to feel the nudges too. It's amazing!
