Am I feeling my baby? Or something else?

20andNervous

This is my first pregnancy so I am some what lost on what my body is doing.
I am feeling what I can only really describe as light muscle spasms below my belly button. Its not very intense just sort of soft and weird. I was thinking it was just my body changing or my uterus' muscles stretching. But I am roughly 16 weeks and was told I may begin feeling it soon.
I am also a heavy girl and heard it is harder to feel for girls my size.
Any thoughts or comments?
I would really appreciate it.

When I first felt my son kick it was like little flicks lower in my tummy...then as time went on they got further up (like by my belly button) and now he's always kickin me...so it might be ur little one but I'm a bit thicker n didn't feel that until about 29wks

I meant 20wks not 29 hahaha

It could be!! It could also be your stretching muscles. Hard to decipher! Im 19 weeks and trying to figure out what I'm feeling too and im very thin!

Thanks for all the feedback!
I am going to wait a bit longer before I say for sure if it the baby or not.
