What are these flutters?

Found out I was pregnant 2 weeks ago and I'm roughly 5-6 weeks.

The last week or so I keep feeling flutters, not a lot during the day but a lot more at night.

What are they? Their Definetly not the baby and I can't see ligament stretching feeling like flutters? Plus from what I remember they hurt!

Started to wonder if I'm further gone than I thought but I have a feral Doppler and can't hear a heartbeat so I don't think I am

I just can't figure out what these flutters are, anyone else experienced this?

Too early for kicking so I think it is gas too. Bloating? Congrats Flowers

Could you be further along? I felt the first flutters at 10 weeks with the first. The doctor said it was too early. I felt it at 10 weeks with the other three, I know it wasn't gas.because they got stronger and I only ever felt it in pregnancy.

At 5-6 weeks it's the size of sesame seed so it's definitely just has!

With my first I didn't feel anything till 17 weeks. With my second I could feel it at 11 weeks as I knew what I was looking for.

Probably gas. I get it (not pregnant) and reminds me of when I was.

Definitely gas. After my first pregnancy I used to get phantom kicks that I could actually see if I was in the bath... Usually followed by a gassy release Blush
