You could be feeling your baby it is very possible I thought I did at 15weeks. I really started to feel her at 20weeks though.

I felt movement at 18 weeks, i was that nervous in the end i asked the midwife to listern in. They are still very small as that stage remember :D

Ps until 28 weeks they don't have a regular sleep/wake pattern so I wouldn't worry about inconsistent movement at this point if I were you mama.

I felt my first at 22weeks before then I couldn't tell the difference between gas & all the other ruckus going on in there. Are you a first time mom? They say it takes us first timers longer to feel them since we're inexperienced.

I'm 19 weeks and I barely feel any movement. only occasionally I feel something but I'm not sure it's the baby. and it's not every day I feel something. I think it gets more definite only after 20 weeks.

I'm 20 weeks and I just started feeling my twins. I guess everyone is different. But it makes me so happy when I feel them move ^.^ best of luck!
