When you feel nervous or excited, your body gets ready for action. It sends a message to your stomach, and your intestines start moving more, that’s why you get the feeling of butterflies in the stomach. It's like when you're about to go on stage or take a big test; your tummy feels all wobbly because it's working hard.
Examples
- You feel your tummy flutter before giving a speech
