Early baby movement?

Hi everyone,
This is a question for the ladies...
I am 15 weeks pregnant today and early hours of this morning while I was trying to get back to sleep, I was on my back when I felt my lower stomach move, almost like a twitch.
Could this possibly be the baby moving?
At my scan, they told me that the baby is a ‘wriggler’ and also that my placenta is at the front, so I didn’t expect to feel anything just yet.
I know it’s not wind as I feel that higher up and didn’t need to pass any at the time or go to the toilet x

@T1D85 I started feeling movement around 16 weeks it first felt like a popping feeling I'm now 18 weeks and it feels as though when you go over a hill in a car or fish swimming around in my belly. Everyone describes it differently though so it could well be baby 👶🙂 only time will tell when the movement gets stronger x

Possibly. But when I get wind or indigestion now (not pregnant anymore) I always think it feels pretty much the same as when DS used to move in there - the amount of times I must have though it was him when actually it was just a bit of indigestion Grin twitching sounds about right though, like a kind of fluttering.

@Pinkblueberry yes I've been the same with the indigestion and wondering whether it's baby or not 🤣🤣 I've been getting more butterfly/rolling feelings now that's getting stronger all the time so I know that's definitely baby. Yesterday it was so strong it made me stop in my tracks and smile to myself it's the best feeling in the world 😍 x

I thought mine was just wind etc but felt it quite early. Probs by about 16 weeks? I thought it was wind and dismissed it until a few weeks later when I got DH to put his hand on and asked him what he thought and jumped out of his skin and was like that is NOT just wind!! And I was like oh...well I've been feeling them for ages! Haha. It probably is baby.

I felt my fourth DC at 12 weeks. I know that sounds impossibly early but he was my fourth and also my first baby with a posterior placenta. The twitch/flutters are unmistakeable, I never get gas in my uterus anyway...
