Feeling movement

I am 17 weeks 1 day pregnant with my first little one. For the past week I seriously think I've been feeling my little one moving. Not just the feeling of "popcorn popping" or a "fluttering" but more like poking or almost like a muscle spasm but different. It is really hard to explain. Anyone else have this going on? I feel like its a little early, but I have no clue! Thanks in advance (:

Only you can tell and it is a feeling that is inexplicable. I'm sure you do feel your little one. Im 10 weeks and can't wait for that feeling to come.

It's not too early. They say you can start to feel movements anywhere from 15-20 weeks! Enjoy it, they bigger they get the "worse" the poking becomes lol.
