Baby or BH?

Every now and then I will get a firm pressure poking up through my belly. When I feel around it, it feels like a little ball pushing up through, and when I poke on it for a minute it goes back down.

I have heard Braxton Hicks contractions described as feeling like the baby is pushing out its arms and legs, but have never read anyone describe the round ball feeling. I think I have had BHs, and this isn't what they feel like. It is more of a generalized lower abdominal tightening.

I have been assuming that it was the baby. I got DH to feel it last night, and when I said that I thought it could be the baby, he got this huge smile on his face and kept poking until it went down. I hope it is the baby, because that would be the first time he's felt it. He hasn't been able to feel and kicks yet.

Is the baby still too small to be poking its butt or something up through my tummy? Has anyone else felt this?

    My guess is that is the baby, not BH especially if it goes down/moves when you push on it. I just felt my little dude last night for the first time, a hard little lump on my side, it was a LOT bigger than I was thinking until I checked out some growth info and it said that he should be about 6" right now, so that makes perfect sense now.
