Stretching or movement?!

[Melody27]

Hi everyone, I’m currently 17 weeks and not sure if I’m feeling movement or it’s stretching. I occasionally have felt tickling but also can feel like a short sharp stabbing pain between my tummy button and pubic bone. Doesnt last very long at all. Any thoughts?! Xxx

The stabbing pain for a few seconds is exactly how I'd describe round ligament pain, so yes - stretching!
The tickling could be movement. Early movement is a bit like that. Like a feather tickling you inside, or like tiny bubbles bursting. But it's really hard to distinguish from digestion at first! Then as it becomes more frequent you learn to recognise it.
The best time to feel it (for me) is to eat your evening meal and then lie down on your back. It doesn't happen every day, but sometimes. I'm 19 weeks, second baby, and just at this early movements stage now as well :)
