random twitches in lower abdomen?

So I've recently started feeling them.  It's not like when your eye twitches and its like a lot of times in a row, it's like one twitch, or feels like it. Could this be baby kicks?

    Might be, I had a similar feeling about a week and a half ago (right around 14 weeks or so), nothing since.  I would describe it like a "flutter".  But it could also be wishful thinking....who knows?

    That's exactly what the first kicks felt like to me :) I started feeling them right around 16 weeks or so...

    you're still pretty early, but what you're describing is exactly what it felt the first time for me (around 16 weeks), so it sounds like baby!

    That's exactly what I started feeling at about 15 wks.  I am still getting them but they haven't been as strong as they were a couple weeks ago. 

    It's so exciting to feel movement for the first time!  I can't wait for the real obvious kicks!

    I'm incubating Jabba the Hutt, then.  I think I felt my baby for the first time today (17wks) and it didn't feel like twitches or kicks at all.  Not even "fluttering," as I've heard it described.  It felt really ...soft.  Kind of like the stuff in my abdomen was just settling.  You know, how melting snow kind of does?  It'll be all fluffy for awhile and then kind of collapse on itself to change shape?  I thought maybe it was gas (I hear this is a common confusion for first-timers like me) but I sat very still and waited.  It happend for a consistent 15 minutes or so, and it didn't move around my belly like gas generally would, and it made NO SOUND.

    I think I know what a bed feels like when someone's wriggling around trying to get comfortable.  ^_^

    That's exactly how I used to describe first kicks with DS, like muscle twitches.

    Mine started around week 16.  At first I thought it was my stomach growling but then I realized it was baby moving.

    13 weeks seems early, but that's exactly what it felt like to me.  Like my lower abs had a muscle twitch.  For the first week or two, I only felt them every few days.  It quickly gets to be common, and it usually makes me smile, except when he kicks my bladder.
