Q&A: I am currently 14.5 weeks pregnant and I SWEAR I can feel movement.

by Marie O'Sullivan, RN

I am currently 14.5 weeks pregnant and I could SWEAR I feel movement. It's usually when I am laying down, strongest when I am trying to sleep at night and quite often after I eat. I am quite sure this is not gas bubbles because it feels quite different and it's always low and in the same area. But I can't help but second guess myself. Most women don't feel it this early and this is my first full term pregnancy on top of it. Could this be true movement or am I just imagining it?

Fetal movement is usually felt between 16 and 20 weeks of pregnancy. Although every pregnancy is different, you are probably experiencing gas bubbles. In pragnant women, gas bubbles may feel different because your inner organs are squashed to make room for the growing fetus.
