Early flutterings??

Hi all

Just a quick question- how do you tell the difference between early flutterings and digestive rumblings?

Am 17+3 and swear I can feel a bubbly/squirmy feeling in my abdomen sometimes. It doesn't feel like any digestive system feeling I've felt before but then pregnancy creates so many weird sensations that I don't know what to think!!

Tell me I'm not imagining it!!

You're probably not imagining it! I felt fluttery feelings in both my pregnancies at around 13-14 weeks so by 17 it should be a bit stronger and more noticeable.

I'm very in tune with my body and know what a digestive bubbling is compared to a baby flutter. Just sit really still when you feel it and concentrate- I'm sure you'll be able to tell the difference Smile
Enjoy it, it'll get gradually stronger until you feel little kicks. Priceless.
