17 weeks pregnant, is it the baby??

Question

I keep having a feeling of shifting in my stomach and then it feels really hard like a ball in one spot that I can feel on the outside of my stomach, I haven’t felt flutters or anything yet can you feel the baby from the outside without actually not feeling him move? Lol pregnancy is so weird!

Answer

Do you know if you have an anterior placenta? That sounds about right for that. I don’t feel as much tiny movements as I do full shifts

Answer

The ball feeling is a Braxton Hicks contraction tensing your uterus

Answer

Yes this is how it felt for me when I first started feeling my baby move. It felt like a lot of pressure in an area but didn’t feel fluttery or like kicks. 
I started feeling pitter-patter kicks about a week or two later. And then another week later I started to feel stronger kicks
