Baby flutters at 9 weeks

I'm currently 9 weeks pregnant and I have just felt baby flutters in my stomach. Not a kick of course but like little flutters on the left side of my stomach. Is this possible? If so what exactly is happening

It's more likely to be your muscles twitching and spasming as they expand, baby is only about the size of a strawberry I think at 9 weeks so it's probably more muscular 😄

Honestly OP no I don’t think that is actually even possible at 9 weeks, the foetus at that stage is around 2.3cm, they are barely moving if at all and even if they were you would not feel anything at that stage.

Far more likely at 9 weeks to just be gas.

Nope. It’s muscle spasms or wind.

Its air bubbles, changed in hormones and blood flow - it's lovely but not the foetus moving as it's still blob like - enjoy though it's very strange and comforting

No, not possible. Will just be uterus stretching, or your digestion more likely!
