Feeling in My Tummy

I get that sometimes too... it's called 'gas' and 'digestion' ;)

Your body changes as you age. Older women who are pregnant for the first time say that baby kicks feel like gas... younger women who are pregnant for the first time (like you and I, not pregger but example), think the opposite way; gas feels like fetal movement.

Try stretching, this helps me!!

It sounds like gas to me! Hope you figure it out. Take some gas-x or tums and see if it goes away.

gas or little muscle twitches (like you get in your leg or other body parts)

Well...unless you got knocked up about 12 weeks ago then it for sure isn't a baby. If you got your period on the last cycle and still managed to get pregnant you still surely wouldn't feel any kicks in the belly. At this point the embryo doesn't even have legs and is not even the size of a poppy seed.

I second the gas thing. I get it too sometimes when lying in bed and it totally feels like a baby kicking or squirming around in there

I call them phantom kicks. Before I got pregnant I heard that the babies first kicks and gas felt like the same thing. I was like I've never felt gas like this before I got pregnant. Had 2 kids low and behold I get the phantom kicks so I guess gas and baby kicks really do feel the same. I enjoy the gas though it reminds me of the times my wee ones were in there baking.

Read your so what happened: every year you will notice something else go, gas in your 25 year body now. I swear every birthday brings me a new quirk for the year. I guess you dont get old overnight.

I know the feeling! Before I was pregnant with my first child, I never remember feeling gas "kicks!" When I became pregnant the first time and everyone asked if I could feel the baby (still early on) and I said, "not yet," they told me when I felt gas like movement, it was probably the baby kicking. I remember thinking; I have no idea what they are talking about. The only gas I have ever felt before was gas PAIN, like from a gas bubble, but never gas "kicks." So, when my first child was about 2 years old, I remember sitting on the patio reading a book and feeling "kicks" in my stomach. I told my husband that I was sure I had to be pregnant because the only time I had ever felt movement like that was when I was pregnant with our first child. Well, I wasn't! I took 3 pregnancy tests and they were all negative. When I went online to research and read about it (because that's just what I do), I learned that it is in fact gas! I thought it was so weird that I had never felt that before (or was never aware of it) until after my first child was born. So, now, after two children, every time I have gas "movement," I think about when I was pregnant with my 2 boys! Most of the time I believe it is gas, but I'm not going to lie....there are still time that I wonder if I'm pregnant! LOL!!
