A member asked:
Im12 weeks pregnant and showing a lot and i felt a movement in my lower abdominal like some1 poking me or a muscle twitching. could it be baby moving?

Probably not: Most people don't feel movement of baby until around 20 weeks. However, even at 12 weeks your uterus is larger than normal and that can cause you to feel unusual sensations.

Sensitive?: First movements can be there at 12 wks. Most women don't feel it since the baby is so small. Yours might be larger than the average and you may be more sensitive. See your OBGYN a bit before the next scheduled time to verify if you wish. Congrats!
