What is the difference? Sometimes I feel a sharp jab on the left hand side. I am in my 15th week.

Well at 15 weeks you might be feeling little flutters. But I don't think that you feel sharp jabs. The baby is not that big at this point and still has plenty of room. Don't worry you will be able to feel the diffrence soon. Good luck

Brenda is right, you should be feeling your baby move here within three to six weeks, and I defanently remember feeling these little flutters first. But the sharp jab doesnt sound like a sensation coming from your baby himself. Not this early anyhow.

You will feel them bettween your belly button and your vagina. It will feel kinda like a butterfly is in there. Really light movement. Smile
