I’ll feel him sometimes in the morning if I’m laying on my side or if I push down on my stomach enough he’ll kick back...

Why does my tummy feel like it’s vibrating?

My bump keeps feeling like it’s vibrating or pulsating. It’s not visible from the outside but can feel it quite deep inside. It doesn’t feel like a kick or roll. Has anyone else had this? I don’t think it’s hiccups and it doesn’t feel rhythmic.
