Is it muscle spasms or karate kicks?!

I'm 19 weeks 2 days, and for the past 3 days I have been having these different feelings under my belly button! They felt like muscle spasms at first and now it's really feeling like he's kicking the crap out of me! At my u/s last week they said that I'm measuring a week ahead. Have any of you ladies felt the baby this intense at 19 weeks? Also, my fiance' put his hand on my tummy and he felt the kick. Is it too early to feel it on the outside yet?? I'm a first timer so I'm not sure about any of this!! TIA! =)

    Muscle spasms is how I describe my LO's movements.  I didn't feel them until around 19 weeks, though and DH has yet to feel them from the outside.

    I started feeling baby really well around 18 or 19 weeks I think. ?And it definitely feels like muscle spasms. ?At 20 weeks, both BF and I felt him from the outside. ?So it's definitely possible that your DH could have felt kicks.

    That's exactly how I described the first kicks I felt.  It didn't feel like flutters or gas bubbles.  It felt like I had a twitch in my stomach.  I was right around 18 weeks when I started feeling them too.

    I never got the flutters or gas bubble feelings--they started as teeny muscle twitches and have now progressed to full on muscle twitches that I can feel from the outside and make my belly move.

    I was unsure if what I was feeling were kicks or not, but when LO flung a huge kick during my U/S, my thoughts were confirmed: I saw it AND felt it. Crazy.

    Sounds like kicks to me! :)

    I was right where you are when I started feeling the kicks too. And I remember clearly heading into work from the Dr and feeling them for the first time, I could actually see my stomach twitching like crazy! I would definitely say they are karate chops :)
