Muscle twitches or fetal movement?

Question

I'm only 17 weeks with my first and I know generally first time moms don't feel movement until later. However for the past couple weeks I've felt what feels like small muscle twitches in my uterine area. I'm curious if this could actually be the baby or truly twitches. They seem to be getting more frequent.

Answer

That's what I'm feeling too- started around the end of 16 weeks and happens more at night when I lay down. I've decided it's not twitches and its actual movement 😊

Answer

I'm 24 weeks and  my movements feel like twitches. They keep on getting stronger and stronger.

Answer

I'm 17 +5 and I feel almost like my heart beating in my uterus that's the only way to describe it.  Wasn't sure if it's movement either.

Answer

I thought it was just muscles twitching but then I got lucky and my little one did it during a sono and I could see it was him/her 😊😊

Answer

I have what I can only describe as light "taps" coming from inside my lower belly. I can't really compare it to anything I've ever felt before so I 'm pretty sure it's movement. Btw I'm 17 weeks along and a FTM. :-)

Answer

I was around 16 weeks with my first when i felt movement. It kind of felt like little bubbles popping inside.  Sometimes it depends on your body type and how much room they have to swim around in there ;)

Answer

Thank you ladies! I was just so unsure because it seemed to have started so early. I first felt a couple at 15 weeks and that seemed way too early for me to be convinced. Idk, I've always been very in tune with my body so maybe that's why I noticed it sooner than expected? Thanks again!
