I'm nearly 18 weeks and for the past few days, a couple of times a day, I've been getting this very light tickly sensation around my tummy, like tiny bubbles. I was expecting something stronger, but this is very gentle and really quite tickkly, almost as if my clothes are tickling my tummy.
Is this baby or do you think I'm just imagining it?

I'm 18 weeks tomorrow and have been feeling exactly the same thing for the past few days too! Weird isn't it?

Yes, that's it, enjoy those early flutters. I found baby would flutter more if I lay flat on my back or after a glass of orange juice or chocolate. I am 35 weeks and now I get very strong, alien tummy shifting movements

Sounds like it! How lovely, I remember this from my DS, although I was about 14-15wks.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.
