I am 17 weeks 3 days pregnant. I haven't felt any movement, maybe until today. I felt what seemed like a gentle poke in my lower belly, but from the inside. I've had quite a few feelings like that since then and also feelings like theres something rolling around inside. My question is: is this the baby moving? Its my first pregnancy and I've never felt anything like it before. I dont want to get too excited in case its just my food digesting I feel!! LOL! But I also dont know what I should be looking out for as far as baby movements...

You should be feeling movement about at this time, this is what my doctor & mcc nurse said. So yes you're feeling movement.
At first for me it felt like gas bubbles rolling through my stomach that never made their way out. Sometimes it felt like popcorn popping. At first I wasn't sure either, but as the sensations grew stronger I knew that it was the baby moving.
Now at 22 weeks, it feels like the baby moving around, turning upside down or whatnot, kicking my stomach, and headbutting it. You'll soon be certain.

Congrats... You felt your baby move!!! I felt mine at 16 weeks... and it would "roll around" constantly!!! I stopped feeling the baby for about 2 weeks!!! I was so freaked out... I thought something was wrong... I checked with the doctor and he said the baby would start being active around the 22 week... He said not to worry and to be patient... lol... I'm now 20 weeks 3 days and I felt the first real "kick" last Thursday... It's an amazing feeling... Just wait... and enjoy... I can't wait till my boyfriend is able to feel the baby through the outside of my tummy... Soon very soon I hope... I'm anxious for him to feel the joy I feel....

Hi! I am 25 weeks pregnant with my first. I think the butterflies or gas is a bad description. At first it felt like well....shoot...Butterfly kisses. Now it almost feels like a spasm, but not a painful all over one. I still don't know if it is her moving or not. I am like you....don't want to get to excited about food digestion. I think I even felt and saw her rolling around last night. But...still not sure. Ok...I know I didn't help at all, but I just wanted to let you know I know how you feel.

It really is kind of hard to tell in the beginning, but that sounds like baby movements. Just don't worry if you feel it today and then nothing tomorrow. It will be a couple of weeks before you feel the baby consistently. Congratulations.
