Your stomach shuts down & contracts when you're nervous or upset. It's a natural "reflex". We all get them before a big "jump"- of ANY kind... :)

When you get nervous about things your stomach acid flares up so you get what feels like butterflies.

Hello there

I think it is fear of the unknown result, plus a little anxiety

Hope this helps good luck
