Feeling your baby move is one of the best feeling you can ever feel. At first you may not know what it is, perhaps it was just gas, but soon enough you will realize that it can't be anything other than your baby kicking inside of you.

The little kicks are like little pokes on the surface of your uterus. It might even surprise you when you feel your baby move. Most pregnant women will feel the move sometimes in the second trimester and into the third trimester of their pregnancy. If you are lucky, you will feel you baby move as early as week 15 of your pregnancy. Some pregnant women don't feel their baby move until the third trimester.

July 11th of 2007 was the first day that I felt my baby move. I was in a hotel room with my husband trying to fall asleep when I felt something like a poke in my uterus. I wasn't exactly sure for a second, since I have never felt anything like it before, but I had no doubt that it was my baby that was moving inside of me. It was the greatest feeling in the world to be able to feel my baby move inside me for the first time. Everyday after that night, I would try to feel for my baby's movements. She did not move very much, and I would have to keep waiting for it but waiting for her to move was very much worth it. I started to feel her move pretty much anytime that I was awake, even when I would be driving. But the best way to feel her move was when I was relaxed in bed and lying on my back.

As my baby was growing inside of me, I tried to let my husband feel her move. It was not easy. Every time I would tell him to feel her move, she would stop or it would be too light and he was not able to feel her move. It was a little while longer before he was able to feel and see her move. As my baby got bigger and bigger, her movements were more obvious . I loved to lay on my back and wait for her to move.
