I'm 17 weeks pregnant, and sometimes I feel what I think are little kicks. They feel very much like if I was to poke my tongue on the inside of my cheek. When I am lying down, and I feel this, I put my hand on my belly, and I can feel it from the outside as well. Do you think it's the baby kicking, or do you think the baby wouldn't be strong enough yet to be felt from the outside?

I think that it is very possibale that it is the baby moving, i felt my son kicking when i was very early on in my pregnancy and the doctors said that every body is different and they put it down to the fact that i was very thin before i fell pregnant with my son.
I hope this helps and good luck with the rest of your pregancy, try to enjoy every minute of it because it will be all over before you know it!

I definitely think it is your baby! Skinnier people tend to start showing and feeling their babies move sooner than most.
I could feel my son when I was about that far along too, and people always said there was no way it could be, like it was the amniotic fluid sloshing or something. (yeah right)
Enjoy it! it keeps getting stronger, and I still enjoy feeling him kick around, even if it's hiccups in the middle of the night, or him putting his little toes up into my ribs! :)
congrats!

Yes, I was only twelve weeks when I felt a pretty strong "punch". When I asked the doctor about it he laughed and said: "What else do you think is in there to kick you? Of course it's the baby!"
Congrats!

Yep baby is certainly kicking. Now if you hear BLUE 39 BLUE 39 be careful. They're setting up for a field goal.

The first movements that one feels usually feel more fluttery than like a kick. It's quick little fluttery movements like a butterfly .

It is absolutely the baby moving. It is not to soon at all...infact the very first movements feel like a butterfly.

I think that's it! Congratulations. When I first felt my daughter kick I thought it was my tummy rumbling (though I'd never had a tummy rumble like that.) I thought mine felt like a fish flopping around.

it may vry well be the baby, especially if it feels like little "flutters"
Good luck with the baby regardless, and congrats. I have 3 girls and they are the best thing that ever happened to me.
