Silly Question About Baby Moving

[rikkiandjulie]

Can anyone relate or give insight to what I'm feeling?

I am assuming I am feeling the baby, but sometimes it'll kick or move, and I feel a lightening like feeling in my crotch as if the baby is stampeding on my cervix.

Also when what I think is the baby moves, it never feels like flutters, it kinda feels like something is pushing from the inside out, and it's almost a weird achy pain like sensation, when it kicks me.

Another way to describe it is a muscle twitch feeling, or like popcorn popping. I assume it's baby bc I've never felt a sensation like it, but it's not the flutters I imagined.

I am 18+4 today

I had that during my first pregnancy. I would suddenly get sharp pains in my cervix and I was pretty sure it was the baby kicking the wrong area, but I'm not sure.

Yep, that is it. It wasn't till a bit later than it was clearly kicks, streches, etc. And G pretty much stood on my cervix the whole time, so yea, that was fun.

But yay for feeling movement!!!

Yay for feeling some movement!!!

People always told me early on it felt like gas pain. But it never quite felt that way to me. It's pretty wild later on when you can just look down at your stomach and see the baby rolling and kicking.

Yes! Lightning crotch is a real and valid thing! Totally normal, too. I had it when I was pregnant!
