Feeling the baby move?

I'm 15w4d pregnant with my second. However, my first ended in miscarriage at 6 weeks. The past two days when I'm lying in bed really still I feel bubbles or what feels like popcorn popping in my tummy (almost at my bikini line). Is this the baby? I'm hesitant to say that it is and then be wrong. I'm too scared of any disappointments after all the disappointments with my first little angel. Also- I didn't think I'd be able to feel anything for a few more weeks. Am I crazy? Someone please help validate or not validate what I'm saying. haha

Thanks

I am 23 weeks and have been feeling the same thing for a couple weeks. Its bizzare and i keep saying to myself its just gas but i think i am sure its the baby. lol. We should probally just let go and enjoy out peanuts wiggling around. I have heard of people feeling the babe at 13 weeks. I was a late bloomer. Congrats on you bundle of joy!

Sounds like the first movements to me too! So sweet :) I'm pregnant with Baby # 3 and I still had a hard time determining the first kicks....soon they'll get stronger and you'll have no doubts!

It's most likely the baby. ;) I feel the little bubbles and the occasional tiny kick when I'm laying on my side. (I'm 18 weeks). They aren't big enough to make it an obvious feeling, but I just know that's them. Hehe.

I understand your paranoia. I've had 2 miscarriages prior to this one, so any time there's something uncomfortable or mysterious going on in my body, I get panicky and wonder if there's something wrong with my Little Foot!

Stay calm and have a cupcake. ;) Also, ask your doctor questions if you want to. I sometimes phone in with questions of my own so I can ease my conscious with her knowledge.

Congratulations on your baby!

When I was 15 weeks I could feel my bundle of joy moving around when I laid down. Now that I am nearly 30 weeks into my pregnancy, I feel him moving all the time. His first movements felt like little gas bubbles to water waves. They were amazing.

I too understand your stress and worry. I had 2 miscarriages prior to this pregnancy and then was told I wouldn't be able to get pregnant. I agree with Empress about talking with your doctor about your stresses and anxiety. What helps me is when I hear his little heartbeat that sounds like wings on a bird or something like that. It's really hard to explain such a wonderful sound.

Congratulations on your little bundle of joy. Remember to relax and enjoy it.

Baby:) Im prego with my second. thats about when I felt her move. to me it reminded me of that stomach growling hungry feeling, but in one weird tiny spot. Even now Im like, why is my stomach growling just in that spot. Then it hits me, OHHH baby. Duh.lol Do not remember these with my son.
