baby flutters

im 17 and half weeks and im sure i can feel the flutters of the baby. it feels like a bubble machine in the bottom off my womb. my uterus hasnt stretched much due to me being so poorly and in hospital with my pregnancy so baby is quite restricted but comfy. im just wondering what it is you actually feel when people say 'fluttering'? x

My baby feels like bubbles popping, butterflies and now at 27 weeks a very good hard kick or punch, but just now I had lots of bubbles again :)

i thought it was wind too.lol. but it feels like i have a bubble machine blowing bubbles inside me. its strange to discribe. and i get the odd popping. i suppose that must be flutters x

I think I might too be starting to feel something now, like weeny bubbles but not totally sure, I am 16w5 now. Is that what you feel? It's more frontal or just to the side so don't think it's guts! Xx
