Fetal Movement at 17 weeks?

Hi everybody...Im getting rather confused as too whether this is my baby moving!! On Christmas Day i started to get a feelin inside me stomach as though my uterus had just gone over a bump that turns your stomach and i just passed it off as too much Turkey lol!! Anyway a few day later since then, i had tickling sensations, that was  like someone was tickling me with a feather... I started to think that this was the baby..However this lovely little tickling sensations are now little jabs that happen all the time...This is my 1st sucessful pregnancy into my 2nd trimester so everything is new to me now, but i am assuming this is fetal movement...Am i right? xx

Sharp jabs could also be growing pains abs ligament pains. It usually starts as a fluttering, like having butterflies then goes to actual kicks.

I keep having internal tickling sensations too, I was wondering what that was or if I was imagining it.

Sounds like it! With my daughter it felt like someone was brushing their fingers, but on the inside of me. Before long they turned into full on kicks.
