Hi baiza

Yes I would say that it's your baby moving. As to how mant movements you should feel, well thats a herd question to answer. Babies, like us, need sleep. Some days your baby may be very active and other days he/she may be sleeping. From a medical point of view we say that you should feel an average of 10 movements a day over a few days. But as I have said this is on average, and I have yet to see an average baby.

I hope this answers your question.
