Is this 'kicking'?

I?m 17 + 1 with first baby, and think I?ve been feeling movement for about a week ? but books say you normally don?t experience this til later with the first pregnancy.

It?s quite low down, an inch or two above the hair(sorry!) and feels like little flutters quite near the surface. Exciting and also quite weird! But as it?s been happening for a week now I?m not sure if it?s always happened, and I?ve just started to notice.

Think it?s in the wrong place to be wind, or similar tummy gurgles?am I going mad or is this early movement?!

Oh that's too exciting! I'm a week or so behind you and sooo looking forward to feeling something (anything), which will make feeling this rubbish seem worthwhile! Very excited for you

Yep, movements.
They'll get stronger and stronger til it starts booting the hell out of you

How exciting! Thought it was but then started to over-think and wondered if it had always been there but hadn't noticed! Also thought it wouldn't happen for ages and don't really have a bump yet so was starting to feel a bit of a fraud - so nice to have little reminders now and then!

I didn't feel kicking until around week 19 and only definitely felt it at 21wks - I was sat with my hands on the bump for days and days waiting! I'm only 25 weeks but the kicking is getting much stronger already.

Deffo sound slike the first 'flutters'. You won't feel proper kicks for a while yet, I'd imagine. I'm 16 weeks with my 2nd and can't wait to feel the first movements
