Taps and Tickles

I'm now just shy of 16 weeks, and I think I'm starting to feel fetal movements. I'm quite convinced of it now. It started last week with very gentle little taps, like a soft fingertip touching my abdomen. I'd feel it while lying in bed really still. As soon as I'd start to recognize it, it would stop. The last few days it's been more and more frequent. Often little taps, or sometimes faint little tickles from the inside. DH rushes over and tries to feel my them, but it's so subtle, even for me that they just can't be detected from the outside yet. I'm sure they'll only get stronger as time goes on, but for now I'm enjoying our little bonding sessions just me and mini-Silver. It's as if he/she is saying "hello mom, just letting you know that I'm doing great in here".

  2. Hey Silver,
    I followed you over from ivf.ca. It's an amazing feeling feeling those tiny movements! Your little one saying hello! I'm 20 weeks along and can feel those little kicks and movements more and more now, and they completely thrill me! I am so very happy for you :)
