Ladies who have been pregnant, what does it feel like from your point of view when the baby kicks?

I'm curious, it's a weird sensation when I've felt my sister in law's baby kick.

At first it just feels like a real quick movement, like a flutter. And you're not even sure it happened cause it's so quick. This is around the 4th or 5th month. My first three months I didn't feel any movement.
Towards the 8th and ninth months, I could feel what I think was the heel of his foot press against my insides from my side, and moving it across all the way over near the other side. I remember pushing my hand there kinda hard to move it out of the way. That happened daily, along with his little feet kicking me. My blouse would move too.
You can't feel pain because the baby is in his little waterbed. But it's more like pressure towards the end, and is uncomfortable, but it's not all the time - intermittent.
Giving birth - well, that's another question.
But I was lucky because I didn't ever get sick, and felt pretty good the whole time. I never missed one day of work and had to take the bus and walk part of the way to work.
Anymore questions, please ask. 🌹

Thank you!! I know it's a stupid curiosity, but I figured I'd ask!!!

@worldscolide hey, it's not a stupid curiosity. Inquiring minds want to know 😉

My pleasure entirely, and as you can see I am once more going through this whole, wonderful, amazing and totally unexplainable experience. x

It feels like a flutter more than anything. Some are stronger than others

…. sometimes it can feel a sudden “jerk” inside you.
It’s hard to describe accurately

Thank you!!

I am at present seven months pregnant, the feeling is absolutely amazing when "bump" starts doing it's "disco dancing!".

@sage2021 has summed this up beautifully.

[sage2021]

@EmmaMary I wanted to wish you the best with the rest of your pregnancy and all the best to you and your new little one. Congratulations 🎉

Why Bless You and Thank You so very much indeed... ETA is 8th November! ❤

@EmmaMary If you don't mind, I have one piece of advice about pushing during labor. Some women push with their upper body, including their face. Bare down and push like you are having a bowel movement. This is unless you have a planned C-section. It helped me during my labor. 😉

@sage2021

How very ironic that you should mention this, as this was precisely the advice our mother gave both my elder sisters and I at the time of our first delivery.

However, thank you so, so much for taking the time in "reminding" me to do so. ❤

No idea, never let it get that far.

Hey @EmmaMary from the side of a mother

@Agape93

Thank you so much for the "heads up".

However @sage2021has summed this up in it's entirety.
