Hiya,
I'm afraid I can't help from the experience point of view as I'm pregnant with my first but are you absolutely sure that you're only 6 weeks? Could it be that your last 'period' wasn't a true period and was actually a breakthrough bleed or implantation bleed instead and therefore maybe you are further on than you thought? From what I have read on this site people tend to feel things much earlier and show much quicker when on their second pregnancy so maybe you are a lot further on that you realise?

However even if you were a month further along than you thought 10 weeks would still be extremely early to feel anything,your baby would only be about an inch long.
My guess would be gas.
My symptoms are v similar to you and im on my second and 7 1/2 weeks.It is getting slightly better now and I am carrying gaviscon everywhere!
Symptoms will vary from pregnancy to pregnancy. My 1st pregnancy I had a visible bump from 6wks whilst my 2nd I lost a dress size in my 1st trimester & didn't have a bump until wk13.
My placenta was anterior in my 1st so I didn't notice movements until 24wks whilst with my 2nd my placenta was posterior & I felt everything from 12wks.
If you are only 6wks into term the flutters are more likely to be wind bubbles escaping & a lot of your bump may be bloating & excess fluid. If you are concerned at all or suspect your dates may be out you could get reassurance from your EPU.
