Are these feelings my baby moving?

Hi ladies. This is my first pregnancy, I am 18 weeks and only last night my bump decides to appear :) it's small but there. Anyway I'm confused about the feelings I have been having for weeks, when I was 15 weeks I started to get fluttering feelings but it felt high up and almost felt like it was in my chest it was at random times especially when sitting down in the evening, people said it wasn't baby as it was to high but it's happening more and more and stronger and now feels like it is moving down below my ribs. I swear it's my baby moving but people are not convinced as this is my first baby I'm so confused. Now It feels like a swimming sensation. What do you think?

I'm 14 and 3 the last week or so I've been feeling "tickles". Sometimes I feel a "jump" I guess that's what it is..  I'm also a Ftm..

This is my first as well and I was feeling "flutters" around 15 weeks. Everyone is different. Some feel it earlier even with your first. ( : enjoy it and it just gets more amazing. When I started feeling kicking I couldn't wait for my husband to feel it and he finallydid at 24 weeks. Its amazing. ( :

I started to feel my little one move at about 14 weeks.. When my dr listen to the heartbeat she confirmed my little one moved around a lot. So I say it was your baby...
