baby or gas? o_O

I'm only 16 weeks pregnant and I think I've only felt my baby move 3 or 4 times but I'm not sure if it's the baby or gas. Anyone else 16 and feels their baby moving?? Someone's I get excited and then im like maybe it's just gas and I'm getting excited for no reason lol

Mine felt like twitching too. I was 16 or 17 weeks and it felt like popping just below my ribs. I was laying down on my side. I actually wanted it to stop Lol it was so uncomfortable the place it was at. But very cool (: i cant wait till my bf can feel it too

Well, I'm 15 weeks and a ftm. And I get crazy twitching sensations in my lower abdomen most times on my right side. I'm 98% sure that it's baby and not gas! Gas has never felt like twitching and before I was pregnant I never had these sensations in my tummy.

The first time I felt it was actually when I finally had some mango after 3 days of craving it lol but I wasn't sure. I'm just gonna say that one time was the baby =)

I started feeling movement at 15 weeks, at 15 and 16 weeks the poking will be almost less noticeable than gas bubbles, very similar though. It's just like tiny little poking. If you only feel it when you're laying down or after you've eaten it's probably the baby! In the next two weeks they will get stronger and more noticeable and you definitely know if what you're feeling are kicks, I think it's kicks though for you

Right, everyone is different. It's really hard to tell when you are a first time mom. When you feel definite movements you will know for sure. :)

More than likely gas, especially if you're a first time mom. But everyone is different.
