Probably not: Fluttering this early in pregnancy is probably bowel related. The embryo is so small at this stage that i can't imagine perceiving movement this early in pregnancy. You've had 7 children though, so i wouldn't argue with you!

Probably gas: Most women can reliably feel fetal movement by 16 weeks if they have had a few kids. We know they are quite active as early as 12 wks, but there is relatively more fluid than baby at that point so the movement would be hard to detect.
