Sounds like Restless Leg Syndrome. Restless legs syndrome is a condition that produces an intense, often irresistible urge to move your legs because of unpleasant sensations, usually while you are trying to sleep. Moving your legs sometimes provides temporary relief. Restless legs syndrome often interferes with sleep, and that can lead to severe fatigue and problems functioning during the day.

What causes restless legs syndrome?
The cause of restless legs syndrome is unknown. It may be genetic because it runs in families. Conditions such as iron deficiency or iron-deficiency anemia, kidney failure, pregnancy, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and Parkinson's disease may be associated with it. However, most people who seek treatment do not have one of these other conditions. Restless legs syndrome may result from abnormal balances of iron in your blood and of the brain chemical dopamine. However, more research is needed to prove a connection.
What are the symptoms?
Restless legs syndrome causes uncomfortable and sometimes painful sensations in the legs described as tingling, "pins and needles," prickling, pulling, or crawling. The sensations cause an irresistible urge to move your legs. Movement may temporarily relieve the discomfort. This usually happens at night while you are trying to rest.
Once you fall asleep, your legs may begin to jerk or move involuntarily. These movements, called periodic limb movements, can wake you from sleep, adding to problems with fatigue. Periodic limb movements may also occur during the day, although you may not recognize them as a problem. While periodic limb movement is considered a separate condition, it often occurs with restless legs syndrome.
How is restless legs syndrome diagnosed?
Restless legs syndrome is diagnosed primarily through a doctor's evaluation of your symptoms. Sometimes a sleep study called a polysomnography is done to record the number of involuntary body movements you make that interfere with your sleep. You may have other tests, such as blood tests, to rule out other conditions that can cause your symptoms.
How is it treated?
Regular moderate exercise and stretching along with avoiding smoking and caffeine may be enough to relieve mild symptoms. When symptoms are more severe or make it hard to sleep, medicines often help.

This is my guess:
Restless legs syndrome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Restless legs syndrome (RLS, or Wittmaack-Ekbom's syndrome) is a poorly understood and often misdiagnosed disorder and is believed to be a neurological disorder. It is sometimes simply called "Ekbom's syndrome", but care should be used when using that term, because there is a distinct condition which shares that same eponym: delusional parasitosis.
RLS (which is also sometimes referred to as Jimmy Legs, spare legs or "the kicks") may be described as uncontrollable urges to move the limbs in order to stop uncomfortable, painful or odd sensations in the body, most commonly in the legs. Moving the affected body part eliminates the sensation, providing temporary relief. The sensations and need to move may return immediately after ceasing movement, or at a later time. RLS may start at any age, including early childhood, and is a progressive disease for a certain percentage of sufferers, although it has been known for the symptoms to disappear permanently in some sufferers.

That would definantly be your baby moving, not everyone describes it as fluttering, I never felt fluttering either. It felt more like my tummy was a washing machine, I was also slim with just a small belly and felt my baby move at 17 weeks too, the kicks were felt by my partner at roughly 22 weeks :) x

The blood supplying nerves get pressed resulting in poor blood circulation. Keep on changing the position so that the blood gets circulated.
