What does a flutter feel like?

Question

I keep seeing these flutter posts. My heart will beat extra hard but what is a flutter like? Like butterflies in your tummy, like these random side aches I get? Can I get some idea other than the word flutter? Is it like a fish flipping around lol. Please advise...

Answer

Mine felt like being very gently tapped but from the inside

Answer

I’m a FTM and I kept thinking what I felt was gas bc it wasn’t “gentle butterfly kisses” or light brushes.
Took me like 2 weeks to realize it’s the baby! 😆
For me it feels like when you’ve eaten something that REALLY disagrees with your gut, and you have very bad gas etc. coming soon. 
Kinda like strong bubbles popping.

Thanks everyone.  This is all helpful and encouraging.  What a nice response flow.

Answer

The first time I felt my baby, it was like little taps from the inside. That was at almost 17 weeks. Now, I'm always feeling wiggling. Like, I can feel the baby squirming, it's such a weird feeling. 😂 I'm 19 weeks now, I still feel the taps sometimes, sometimes it's much stronger than that. Like, full on kicks.

For me it feels like someone flicks me with thier finger hard

Answer

Flutters definitely don’t feel like cramps or anything remotely painful. It sometimes feels like a fart lol or like when you have bubble gut. It’s faint movement it’s hard to catch at first, I only feel mine when I’m in bed at night

Answer

The first flutters I felt was around 18 weeks and it felt like a butterfly flapping its wings in my pelvis. As the flutters got stronger it started to feel like gas bubbles but in my uterus. At almost 25 weeks they’re a mix between the “gas bubbles” and straight up kicks. Around 19 weeks i was able to lay on my back and watch my stomach move from the little kicks.

Answer

Flutters to me definitely felt kind of like gas bubbles except I didn't have the urge to flatuate afterwards 😂
Your cramps are more than likely round ligament pain.

Answer

For me it’s like a mini extremely quick vibration from the inside, a bit like butterfly feelings in your stomach

Answer

I never felt flutters. It’s like a pulling feeling for me. Pulling and pushing
