Anyone else felt early flutters??

Hi i'm approx 11 weeks i say approx as i haven't had my dating scan yet but i had an early one in December and from that they estimated i was 5 weeks.

Just lately i have been feeling a flutter almost like a tapping from the inside of my tummy, what is this? I thought it's too early to feel the baby moving, the strangest thing is it's not in the same place one time it will be on my left side then about 10 mins later felt in the middle.

I'm not worried or panicking just wondered if anyone else has had this at all? It's probably just muscles twitching x x x

ummm, im not sure.i know some women have said they felt movements from as early as 10 weeks. apparently if it's ur 2nd or 3rd, 4th etc pregnancy u might feel movements earlier. without sounding like im insulting your intelligence, sometimes wind can feel like movements.....i remember with my daughter i thought it was movements for a while until i expereinced a kick....needless to say before then it was wind. But I think it is possible

seriously no intelligence insulted here!! your probably right this is my first pregnancy, so any flutter, twitch or bubble of wind as the case may be is new and exciting x x

My midwife laughed at me when I said I had felt movement at 16wks with my first. A lot of first timers don't feel it until about 20wks she said. I am sure I was feeling it and I think at about 14wks with a second would be reasonable, but definitely too early when the uterus is still behind the pubic bone in the pelvis in 1st tri.
