OUR FUTURE 2030 WORLD CUP PLAYER

Around week 17-18 was when I first felt the tiny flutters of movement in my stomach. They felt like little butterflies floating around in there or someone lightly tickling the inside of your stomach. I was ecstatic to feel these baby movements. At week 19-20 the movements got stronger, I began to feel full on kicks to my bladder. I would be sitting there after eating a meal when the little one would decide to flex its leg muscles and aim for my full bladder. And he or she wouldn't just kick once, usually it was a round of kicking and jabs that made me run to the bathroom. Week 21 came and now I could feel the baby even without a full bladder and even when I was not sitting down after a full meal. It was a sign that this kid has gotten bigger and that the real estate in my belly was getting limited. But let me tell you how wonderful it is to start feeling your baby move. It's tangible proof that there is in fact a baby growing inside your belly and to a first time mommy, it's so reassuring to feel these kicks, jabs and rolls every single day.
