could this bw baby movement? :)

I have been getting some little menstrual like pains but they are not uncomfortable .. very very subtle cramping and it is off and on.. but I am wondering if this could be baby girl moving around? This is my first baby and I am 20 weeks... not really sure what to expect when she moves. Will I KNOW when she is moving? What does it feel like? :)

Yaa i agree. I'm on number 5. My midwife told me cramps and stretching pains are the round ligaments that hold your uterus. They are stretching. The butterflies or gassy rumbling feeling at first is baby moving :)

I don't think that's the baby moving. That early, movement should not be painful. This is my first as well & i started feeling him at 20wks, it felt like flutter or a tickle. Then his movement got stronger the further i got to where i knew which body part was what. Now his movement hurts me! I'm 38wks & he loves my ribs lol

Baby moving has never ever felt like cramping for me.. i really dont think thats what it is. for me, it felt like butterflies in my stomach times 10 lol. it was a good feeling, not a hurting feeling
