Movement

So I'm about 18 and a half wks pregnant...I was laying on my stomach and I felt movement. I quickly got up and lay down on my side. I hope I didn't hurt the baby by laying on my stomach

Feeling movement at that time is normal! It's called "quickening". I'm 19 weeks and feeling movements come and go. I would feel movements more when I layed on my back, but mine started at 15 weeks. Don't worry, the baby is fine! At this point I don't lay on my back to increase blood flow and be more comfortable.
