They are most likely flutters.  It happened to me at 16 weeks where the movements stopped for a few days,  I was so worried and i called to get seen and baby girl was totally fine. About 18 or 20 they became regular and doctor said I shouldn't start counting until 30 weeks . So at that stage is totally fine.  If you drink something cold it would get the baby moving

I'm 19 wks 2 days with my first baby. I'm not sure I've felt my baby move at all yet. I've definitely felt growing pains but I don't think I've felt any movement. This worries me little but the doctor assures me that is normal not to feel it yet. I'm very anxious and excited!!! I don't think you should be worried about it at this point.

Not necessarily this early.   One you Hey regular movements then yes.  But it sounds line you just started so it could be very sporadic.
