Poking?

I am 16 weeks for the first time. It is currently 3am.  On my right side about an inch up from my underwear line and about a finger length away from my belly button if my belly button is the middle line. I'm feeling this poking from the inside out sensation some time is like a jab and other times is like a light finger press every couple of breaths now that I'm concentrating on it. It feels like a heavy spot like I have a small bean bag resting on top of my skin right where the poke starts. This has been going on for about an hour and I have felt it for a few seconds earlier in the day and the day before. Is this baby?

I'm 18 weeks and I started feel the same thing at around 16 weeks. It's Your baby! They like to stick to one side of you and that's why you feel that heavy spot. It's just your baby stretching up against you.

Omg I'm 16weeks also and I've been feeling the same thing but the lower side and when I lay flat on my back I can feel where it's starting to get hard it's like a little ball and sometimes I feel flutters so it's a possibility that we're feeling our Babies
