The first movements

So I’ve come to the conclusion that the muscle spasm like movement I started feeling the other night but actually be my baby moving. I have an anterior placenta, and my baby also had a cystic hygroma, so I was told I may not actually get to get feel him move ever. So to have this feeling that he is actually moving inside me makes me incredibly happy.

But I wanted to know from others that what I’m feeling is actually him and what others have experienced.

It feels like a very mild muscle spasm, mostly on my left side, occasionally across the front of my belly. The flutter itself last 5–10 seconds each, but as of today has happened almost constantly with brief breaks in between each movement all morning. Is this really him moving around, or is my stomach just upset and I’m reading too much into this. I’m 19 weeks if that helps.
