Just Gas Bubbles or Baby Moving

Remember the first time we feel the baby moved?  I cannot remember it but often think about it as I am a new mom. But when time comes, how do I know that it is just gas bubbles or baby moves.


Usually, pregnant women start to feel the baby making movements in 16 to 18 weeks of pregnancy.  The feeling of a baby moving is not the same for every woman, which makes it difficult for a woman to know if the feeling is gas bubbles moving through the body or is the baby moving instead. It is easier to tell if it is the baby moving later during pregnancy, when the baby is kicking and punching, but is easily confused with gas bubbles when the baby starts moving.

Sleep Survival for Pregnant Women Final Destination

Here we come to the most difficult part of sleep problem in pregnant women.  I hope you get through 1st trimester and 2nd trimester without problem.  Surviving from improper sleep is the most challenged stage in the third trimester. Because of the frequency of urination, inability to get comfortable, extra weight, and preparing for the new baby, it becomes hard job to get well sleep and even have to take effort to pass each night. 

If above problems re not enough, you will feel that rigorous baby moves and baby hiccups can also impede sleep. You can expect aches and pains of many kinds at this time. Since the body is carrying all the extra weight, the heavy duty falls on the joints and that makes it loosening.  Even walking can be tough.
