how to tell if it's baby?

De

so I have an anterior placenta, so I know it CAN make it harder to feel baby. this is also my first pregnancy. for the past week I've felt these almost "popping" sensations. I thought they were gas at first, but I'm not sure anymore. it's as if someone is poking me from the inside. please no hate, because I am just tired of not knowing. And if people could tell me what their first kicks felt like, that would be great. I'm 23w3d.
