Fluttering in early pregnancy

I've been experiencing fluttering in my stomach for days now. Im about 5weeks pregnant, too early for the fetus to be large enough to be felt moving.  What is this feeling??
Id like to hear your stories if this has happened to you.
Thanks.

Its most likely gas. You can't feel the baby at this point. You usually cant see it on a sonogram until 6 weeks,  even with a internal one. Had one at 5 weeks saw nothing had one at 6 w 2 d and had a little bblob inside me!  Your baby is about 2-3 cm big,  if that lol.

This is my first and I started feeling my baby kick at 16 weeks. Fluttering at 15. I was underweight when I got pregnant, my ob said that's possibly why I felt it so early. Every body is different.
Although, 5 weeks is wayyy to early. You are most likely feeling gas.

it's probably your uterus stretching, you can feel the baby move around 20 weeks, earlier if this is your second

Since I found out I were pregnant I too felt a buttery fly flutter feeling in my stomach especially when I lay in bed thinking about being pregnant. I honestly think its just excitement/nerves like you get on Christmas eve as a child.. :)
