How did your baby’s first movement feel?

[u/Curious-Sage]

I’m 17 weeks pregnant and I’ve been feeling something like gas bubbles (I don’t even know how to explain the feeling) at different sides of my stomach over the last week.

I initially passed it off as gas/my stomach growling, but now I feel like it maybe the baby moving inside me.

Any ideas?

The early movements were exactly like a goldfish, or maybe like when you have a butterfly or moth cupped in your hands, and it flutters against your skin. The movements later, around like 19ish weeks, definitely feel like a muscle spasm. It's so alien.
