Finally felt the baby move for the first time today. I was laying in bed before work with my hand on my belly – coincidentally wondering when it would happen and how exactly I would know – when I felt this little “tug.” I’ve had other friends say it feels like gas, but I wasn’t quite sure how to interpret that….that covers a big spectrum of sensations! I’d describe more like when you get an eye tic. A little involuntary twitch. My assistant at work said it feels like you have a fish inside you – that kinda works too!
I felt it twice briefly, then it stopped and I had to get ready for work. I had an early morning staff meeting and it started flopping around like crazy as I was sitting there. Hard to believe it went from first feeling to that much movement in the span of a few hours.
