This could be movement. You'll start to
feel the flutters and they'll get stronger
and stronger until you can see your whole
belly move.

I would say Yes. I am 18 almost 19 weeks
with my first and the butterflies are what
I feel too. Although I have felt a little
more at times. Since the baby is still
down low that is more than likely where
you will feel baby movement. I just can't
wait til I know that it is baby
movement....Like when you can really feel
it. Everyone tells me to enjoy the
butterflies cause soon you won't be able
to stop them from moving.

That's exactly what the early ones felt
like to me. They still occasionally feel
like my stomach is gonna turn (28wks). If
you were/are skinny, even if you're not,
then I'd say they are definitely the baby
moving! Congrats!
I began feeling movement at about 20 weeks
but I felt what your experiencing a few
weeks prior to that. Enjoy the movement
while you can because that baby will be in
your arms before you know it, and if your
like me, you will miss those "kicks" and
"flutters". Goodluck with the rest of your
pregnancy.

i was about that far along when i felt
grace move for the first time maybe a bit
earlier, cant quite remember.
i was 18 weeks when she gave me her first
decent kick....i was lying down having a
rest when she did it. It startled me that
much that i screamed!!LOL After that day
she kicked the crap out of me till the day
she was born!!
