My story about: Kicking
BuckeyeChristy's story
May 07, 2008
When I was pregnant with my first child, everyone told me that the first kicks would feel like flutters, as if a butterfly was fluttering inside of me. I kept waiting to feel those sensations, but never felt anything like it.
Then one night, when I was 17 weeks pregnant, I was in bed reading and felt a strange sensation from my abdomen. It felt like being poked, only from the inside out. I wasn't sure what it was at first, but after a couple more pokes, I realized it was the baby kicking.
Now, those kicks didn't stay small for long. Third trimester kicks are pretty strong, and occasionally they really hurt!
