Baby movements-20 weeks

Hello, I’m having a plus size first pregnancy which has all been perfect so far! I’m 20weeks and having a little boy. Our anomaly scan is in 5 days so that’s good.
i am having weird sensations in my stomach area but not sure if these are the flutters everyone talks about- it doesn’t feel like how anyone or any website describes and almost feel too high up at the top of my abdomen or under my chest. Been having them for a couple weeks now but stronger more recently. I know odds are they are the baby movements but I am just so unsure. Anyone else take awhile to figure it out?

How would you describe the feeling? When I had it, I couldn't really describe the movement as fluttering. It was more of an internal twitch, like when getting a twitchy eye.

I felt what I described as a tiny little pulse sensation, very gentle. Or like someone very lightly tapping with a finger tip. I don't know if I had that 'flutter' feeling as such. But definitely lower in the abdomen.
Your uterus only reaches as high as your bellybutton by approx 24 weeks so it's not even at your bellybutton yet. Normal not to have movements on your first up until 24 weeks so still plenty of time 😊
