A member asked:

I'm 18 weeks pregnant what does my baby movement feels like beside flutter cause i don't understand what flutters me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to describe: It will eventually become obvious to you, but it is not like anything you have previously experienced. Early movements are often mistaken for gas or indigestion. For lack of a better word, some women describe it as "flutters", very light and repetitive movements.
