What does it feel like when the baby rolls around?

I'm 25 weeks. I feel kicks all the time. I also feel 5 or 10 second long vibrations which I thought might be hiccups.

I've read many posts about the baby rolling around, doing flips/somersaults, etc. How do you know when the baby is rolling around? How far along were you when you noticed this?

I hardly feel kicks now, just long rolls. You can actually feel the baby turn...it's a thumpy rolling feeling with pressure...it feels cool

Re: What does it feel like when the baby rolls around?

I've actually felt rolls more than kicks in the beginning, it literally feels like rolls inside of you, its very strange, almost like your stomach is growling, but it really isn't....

sorry i couldn't be clearer

It feels exactly how it sounds .. rolling around. like someone is pushing out your skin and turning.. does that make any sense.. its weird to actually put in words. Its soo cool tho.

I am 17 W 6 D

This morning I was on my stomach and I stretched and I guess I woke my little one up and he/she rolled. I could literally feel a roll. I guess if I had to explain it, it's kinda like when you are on a roller coaster and your stomach drops.......... But more pronounced.

I probably felt it really well because my uterus was pressed against the bed.

It was so cute!!

Mine really feels like a ton of pressure! Like ouchy on my bladder..i am almost 30 weeks though so it might be different at different periods of pregnancy. I know I am not a huge fan bc of how it makes my bladder feel! Ick

I'm 29 weeks and I think I really started feeling this around 27 weeks. It's hard to describe but it's like when he is rolling around I feel him in more than one spot at the same time, you definitely will know what you are feeling once the baby starts to do it. I used to always feel tapping but now all I feel is him rolling all over the place, especially up in my ribs! Also it's a lot of pressure, I can sit here and just watch him pushing out of my belly

When mine roll it actually feels like gas pressure yet nothing comes out

Re: What does it feel like when the baby rolls around?

Thanks ladies. I've had some pressure at times in specific spots, but I'm not sure whether it was the baby rolling. I'll start to look out for it now.
