Quickening- What Does It Feel Like?
| Wed, 12-12-2012 - 11:04am |
Fluttering, bubbles, tickling, gas -- these are all terms moms-to-be have used to describe the feeling of baby’s first noticeable movements. "Quickening" -- the technical term for this sensation -- is tough to describe since, as any mom can tell you, it feels like nothing else you've experienced. But it's often referred to in a? loving way, like butterfly kisses or fluttering wings. It’s feeling you learn to cherish and is one of the most miraculous and enjoyable parts of pregnancy.

Have you felt baby move yet? If so, how would you describe those first movements

It always reminded me of a non painful muscle spasm. It's the best way I can describe so that people who've never felt it are able to understand.
