Early on fetal movement doesn't really feel like kicking feels more like butterflies or like bubbles

I thought the same thing! But after I went to my ultrasound when I was almost 19 weeks, and found out I'm having a boy, he moved so much! During the ultrasound he actually was kicking his leg out so far on my left side that it hurt! We got a great picture of his foot because of it and I know he hates getting pushed on, now I feel him multiple times a day! Just give it time, should be right around the corner for you.

Yours too. My son was doing the same thing, I got my first ultrasound at 18wks and girl he was in there sprinting, stretching his legs, waving, sucking his thumb, and then everything I did he did. Like I put my hands behind my head and gold my legs and dammit he did the exact thing it was funny n creepy all at once. But while he was doing all this I didn't feel any of it. Now at 24w1d I have a Liddle drummer boy

Those bubbles are your baby moving, I was in the same situation a couple of weeks ago. Im 19+4 and my midwife thinks I have an anterior placenta so she thinks that's why I can't feel the baby as much. Then 2 days ago, I felt something strange like something was poking me from the inside, went to my midwife yesterday and she told me that was my baby kicking/moving. Listened to the heartbeat and she found it straight away right at the front of my tummy where I felt the movement, usually she has to chase my baby around to get a good listen to the heartbeat lol :)
