What am I feeling? Is it baby movements?

I'm 18+4 weeks pregnant today. For the past 2 days I've had funny feelings in my stomach. I thought it was just my body stretching and preparing to make room for him.

We've previously lost 2 angels before becoming pregnant with our son so I'm quite nervous as to what I'm feeling.

I have thought it could be him moving but I'm not sure because it doesn't feel how people have described it. They said it'll feel like flutters and butterflies but this feels like I have wind and that there's pressure in my lower abdomen. It comes and goes. I've been feeling it so much more tonight but the fact I'm feeling a lot tonight has made me doubt it's him moving. Does anyone know what this could be please?

I guess it's hard to describe really. I thought it felt like wind to be honest. A few weeks later it felt more like flutters.

Thank you!

I imagine that it is your baby moving. If you are very slim you feel them quite early. I felt mine from week 14 or 16. Can't remember any more. It also depends where the placenta is.

Whether it's on the front of your tummy so baby kicks it rather than your womb directly.

Enjoy them.
