Family support??

[LittleMumToBe]

So I'm a child of 3, my mum has done this two other times and my partner is an uncle of two plus his best friend has a child so they've been around pregnancy a lot, this is now my first and his too. I'm 17w + 4d and feeling these little pokes n nudges at night time, not flutters or popping just nudges, I don't know how to tell them I feel my little angel moving cause every time I've tried before they laughed at me and said I'm imagining it, we'll excuse me if I say i can put my hand on my belly and feel a nudge then I'm damn sure I felt a nudge, is it wrong I feel this way about my family and bd? Should I not expect so much from them?

Bonding not bidding lol

I felt my first flutters around 13 weeks and I know I'm not crazy..but I didn't feel it on my hand until maybe five or six months.. everyone's different.. maybe just keep it between you and the honey try and let him feel too.. my hubby didn't  get to feel until around 27 weeks though.. don't let it get to you as long as you and baby are bidding :)

I definitely wouldn't say anything. It's a lot different for them because they can't see it or feel it. Maybe when you can actually feel and see the baby kick farther along and it's 100% noticeable let them feel the baby kick. That's really the only way other people get excited about the babys movement.

Should I say something to them or just keep trying to be excited for myself maybe they'll come around, at the moment I'm just keeping my mouth shut until at least 19 weeks before I say I felt anything, it's embarrassing having them laugh at me

[rebeccaann11]

that's understandable

I've read a lot and I know every pregnancy is different, I never felt the fluttering so maybe it could just be my imagination or gas, tmi but everytime I have a gas bubble it's because I need to pass gas, so if I don't need to its not a bubble, it really just feels like a nudge, some pressure pushing out below my belly button for a quick second sometimes the feeling pushes out and moves which I think is baby rolling over or turning around... I just want someone to be excited about it with me

[rebeccaann11]

I'm sure they don't mean harm.. A lot of times women don't usually feel anything till later on in the pregnancy. I have read some women do feel a lot earlier than others.

A little, I'm more disappointed and conflicted.. I shouldn't be laughed at for what I think is the best thing ever, I shouldn't be scared to tell my family and BD anything

[rebeccaann11]

are you angry with them? I'm not quite sure I understand completely. I am tired so I could be completely reading this wrong lol
