Baby moving?

I am currently 17 weeks, 18 on Friday.  I have been experiencing what feels like a ball rolling around in my lower abdomen that causes pressure.  I don't know if it is baby moving or something else.  I've heard of people feeling "butterflies" which is what I felt with my daughter.  Any ideas or anyone experienced this?

Sounds like the baby is starting to get big enough for you to really feel how much they move around, lol. Enjoy the feeling! That is what I miss the most about being pregnant. When a lil baby that you helped create is living inside of you and kicking you to know end, I just love it. I used to try to figure out their different kicks, like if they were mad at me or happy, pending on where they kicked and what I was doing and all kinds of stuff, needless to say, I kept myself amused easily as long as they were awake :)

I hope so.  I went to the ER on Thursday because I was having a lot of sharp pains and pressure.  They ran some tests which came back normal and checked my baby's heartbeat which was 150.  I just keep worrying that something is wrong.  Try not to but its hard.  Thank you.
