Is baby moving?

First time mum and sometimes not sure if baby is moving or it's just my stomach, most times I feel baby move otherwise ...I'm 19 weeks on Thursday.. And If I just watch my stomach, it looks like it's pounding near my belly button?

Yeah you're barely starting to feel the baby move. You won't feel all their movements unless they move their whole body or kick. I was the same way with my first at 19 weeks. Sometimes i could clearly feel her and other times not so much. If you lay on your belly for just a little it's easier to feel them.

The first time I felt my baby move was at 17 weeks as a first time mom and it was a feeling like as if I was an elevator and my stomach dropped kind of feeling it happened so fast I got scare lol

The first baby kicks for me felt like my stomach was jerking/twitching a little. They became easier to distinguish around 22 weeks!

The pounding near your belly button is likely your own pulse. My stomach does that and I'm not currently pregnant.
