Answer 4

you just asked this question 10 mins ago, why ask again?

Answer 5

It could be the baby moving, but you described it as a pulsating movement so it is most likely your pulse.  It is weird but when you are pregnant you can definitely feel a pulse in your tummy, which is completely normal it's cause there is so much more blood being pumped there now for the baby.  Usually the first movements you can feel are light fluttery feelings, like someone is tickling your insides with a feather.

Answer 6

Yup:D

Or your heartbeat...

Answer 7

It sure is dear. Congrats

Answer 8

I know it is so hard to tell if it is your baby or gas.  This is my first and I was always unsure as to what I was feeling.  Not till the movements became stronger could I tell what they were.

They always say flutters.  What the heck does a flutter feel like.  Well it kind of feels like you have a butterfly trapped inside you and you feel the wings hitting you.  It also kind of feels like a pop.  Now at 24 weeks its like a pulsating feeling sometimes a pushing feeling or even a wave like feeling. Once she felt like she was rubbing her knee or something up and down that was weird. Some times it feels like she is having a dance party.  

You will feel it more and more.  I think it was your baby you felt.  

Answer 9

Congratulations you have felt baby' s first movements

Answer 10

It is easy to confuse your pulse with baby movement because the first movements feel a little like a tap out of sync with your pulse. It is easy to doubt what you are feeling especially when those little taps and bumps gradually increase so slowly that you almost forget it is a new feeling. I didn't get a good thump until I was 17-18 weeks which was just to strong to convince myself it was anything else bit the baby.

This is an exciting time fit you and it will only get better by the week!

Answer 11

At first it feels kinda like fluttering. You would probably wonder if it's the baby or just gas or something. Then within a few weeks it will get stronger and you'll know. Just wait till you're really big & you can actually see it's food or head pushing out your stomach. It's really crazy but neat!

Answer 12

That sounds right. I've been prgnant 8 times and it feels like butterfly tickling at first, it will get much stronger as time passes, even painful sometimes (rib tickling)

Answer 13

Yup that's your lil peanut moving around. I miss feeling my baby move around. Enjoy it.. As the weeks pass, you can put your hand on your tummy and press down, and he/she will respond! Congrats on your bundle of joy.  

Answer 14

Congrats! You are feeling the baby.  It kinda feels like gas at first in your lower stomach.
