what do flutters feel like?
I'm approaching week 18 and some people have started asking me if I've felt any movement or flutters yet. I don't think I have but then again, I don't quite know what I'm supposed to be tuning into.
I know it starts at different points for everyone and may feel different too... anyone mind sharing what their "flutters" felt/feel like?

i always described it as popcorn popping. in the beginning they are so quick you could completely second guess if you even felt it.

literally like butterflies in your stomach... To me it almost feels like a heart beating inside your stomach. I started feeling them around 16 weeks but they were so light. Now at 22 weeks I feel them constantly along with light kicks. They seem to get stronger and stronger every week.

Re: what do flutters feel like?
To me it felt similar to the feeling I get when my stomach drops out or does a flip when I'm on a carnival ride. I also agree with the popcorn sensation.

Re: what do flutters feel like?
Little muscle spasms or twitches in the area near or below your belly button. I started to feel it at 19, almost 20 weeks.

Like a little fish swing around. At least that's what it felt like to me.

I used to say they'd feel like eye twitches.

To me, they felt like little movements or tickles inside my stomach. I didn't feel flutters until I was 19w3d. But then I felt kicks just a few days later and those were hard to miss!

Re: what do flutters feel like?
I'm glad you asked this question. I'm 18w3d with twins and haven't felt anything yet either. Hopefully we'll both feel our little ones soon!
