flutters v. gas. how do you tell the difference??

I am almost positive I have been feeling flutters the past few days. I feel the same kind of sensation in two spots - one on the lower left side and one about an inch under my belly button.
But then I doubt myself and think its gas.
How do I tell the difference? I have had gas symptoms before but it has never felt like this, almost like a a "popping."

ETA: I am 17w3 days w/twins.

sounds like you are getting flutters!

I just knew, b/c if I didn't eat anything that would cause me to be gassy, then what else could it be?

i figured out it wasn't gas when i realized that the bubbles i was feeling weren't accompanied by any other "side effects"

for me, it felt more like poking and rolling than anything else.
