Anyone else getting a fluttering sensation?

Hi ladies!

 

Just wondering if anyone else has gotten a fluttering sensation. It feels like there is a crazed butterfly in my uterus. It doesn't hurt, it's like your eye twitching. It's just distracting and weird. I'm wondering if it's increased blood flow or stretching or something else.

 I am only 6 weeks and coming off of a m/c in September at 5 weeks. Just a weee bit nervous. I don't recall feeling this last time, so hopefully it's a normal symptom.

Perhaps gas or light cramping?  I had lots of new sensations in my first few weeks - probably because I was so hyper-aware of everything happening or not happening with my body.  I'm noticing less now - not sure whether I'm just more relaxed or if things have settled out.

It's probably just gas or a muscle twitch in your abdomen.  I feel it sometimes too.  We are just hyper-sensitve to every little thing now.  Just don't think it's the baby because it's way too early for that.

I know it's too early to be feeling anything, so it must be gas or something.

 Just odd. :] Thanks for the responses ladies!

It's most likely gas.

I'm guessing gas.  It could be your ute stretching, but that doesn't really feel like fluttering to me.

I keep getting that feeling, but it's always immediately followed by wicked gas.

I'm not sure if it's gas or baby. My vote is gas, personally... though I have read that you can start to feel the baby as early as 13 weeks if it's not your first.

I keep getting this and then realise that its gas. I have been told though that from 11 weeks you may get little flutters of baby moving.

Oh good, it's not just me!! I have been feeling the same thing for a couple weeks. Wierd huh? To be honest I know it's not, but I like to imagine it's a preview to actually feeling the baby move in a couple months.

To me, the early movement felt exactly like the fluttering/twitches or like little bubbles.  I felt my 1st at 17 weeks and my 2nd at 15 weeks.  It may take a week or so to recognize it as the baby and not just gas at that point.

As other people have said it's gas but I think it kind of a cool feeling.
