I think I felt a kick???
All right, so I was sound asleep last night......(I have to take phenergan for the nausea and vomiting that I continue to have, and it puts me out by the time I have taken it 4 times during the day) I was abruptly awakened with a pain in my left side. It was nothing like I have ever felt before and didn't last anytime at all. So I waited to see if I felt anything else, but nothing.....
Could it have been a kick or punch???
I called my BF and he said that was great. I asked him today if it made him sad that we don't live together and he missed (what I am calling the first kick) and he said no.....at least I called him when it happened......I must say I was a little sad that I experienced it by myself.
Hugs,
Sandy

The first movements, called "quickening" usually occur around 18 weeks. Well, they can occur much earlier than that... but most women don't recognize them at first.
I felt my very first one at 13 weeks. It felt like a very tiny goldfish made a small "flop" inside my lower uterus.
I didn't really start to feel them with any type of certainty until I was 20 weeks along though. Now I feel them several times per day, and they are much stronger! Nothing what I would ever call pain or uncomfortable though.
I think if you are still in your first trimester (12 weeks or less) that what you felt is what is called "round ligament pain". That is pain on the sides or very low in your pelvic area... and it happens suddenly and quick and is a sharp pain. It is over about just as quickly though. It usually happens when you move or adjust too quickly.
What it is is the round ligaments that support your uterus are growing very rapidly that first trimester, they have to get thick and strong in order to hold up the baby for the rest of the pregnancy.
So, it may have been the first kick... but I doubt it. Sorry! The first "kicks" are usually more like "flutters". And again, they don't hurt. (At least not until the baby gets much much stronger and can jab you in your kidneys or something like that!)
I'm sorry that your BF can't be around to experience all the joys (and I say that with my tongue in cheek!) of early pregnancy! My hubby earned a badge in learning how to try to make a newly pregnant woman happy. And he still gets shivers thinking about the mood swings and nausea I had! lol
