Really big movement at 17 weeks?

Hey everyone
I’ve been having flutters for a week or so now. I’m 17 weeks 6 days.
I’m super nervous as I’ve had two early miscarriages previously.
I had a scan 3 days ago and all was perfect then tonight I was lay in bed and I felt this big movement then for a couple of minutes there was definitely something sticking out of my front right. It was really hard and felt like maybe babies head or bum. It was too big to be a hand or foot. My stomach was really odd shaped for that couple of mins. Everything is back to normal now. Is this normal at 17 weeks? Online it just says you get tiny movements at this stage but it definitely wasn’t tiny.

Baby probably did a big somersault! I had this probably around that time with my first. Was lucky enough to be when DH had his hand on my tummy, so he felt him for the first time then too.

Thanks so much! So glad this is normal I just got a bit worried because everything I’m reading says most people don’t feel the baby this early.

Yes, they can suddenly make a big move as far as I know, I don't think it indicates a problem.
