Is It Possible I Am Several Months Pregnant??
This is going to sound really odd and I was wondering if any other moms have felt this. For the last few days I have felt like I have a baby moving in me. It has to be gas because I have taken numerous pregnancy tests over the past few months and have been having periods. They have been lighter than they used to be, but I've still been having them regularly so the chances I'm pregnant are REALLY slim. However, I have had two kids and so I know what it feels like to have a baby moving around and I have never felt this at any other time. It does not feel like gas but it has to be, right? I mean, I'd have to be at least three if not four months pregnant to be feeling a baby move. It is SO bizarre and I am wigging out. Could it be a tubal pregnancy? Would you ever feel the baby move? I've had no pain or anything. What are the chances I'm pregnant?? Have any other second or third time moms had gas for several days that felt exactly like a baby?

Go get a blood test. Mother's intuition is usually spot on, and this will help you to have one less thing to worry about as you clean up yet another spill on the already dirty floor.

I had the same thing happen when my second boy was about 4 months old. The dr said it was gas, or just my insides moving around a bit. Not a biggy, it is the creepiest feeling ever though. It feels just like a baby. When it happen to me I was so freaked out. I could even see my tummy move. Wow. I hope it stops for you. But if you'd feel better maybe you should call the dr. Good Luck

i have seen a show on tlc called "i didnt no i was pregnant" and a lot of the woman on there have the same symptoms saying they got their periods and thought they had some crazy gas, they also took countless tests that came back neg, no sickness or anything else, most didnt even gain weight so on the off chance that you may be, you probably need to go see a dr JUST IN CASE, what could that hurt right?

Rest assured if this were a tubal pregnancy, you wouldn't get very far into it without pain, not far anough to feel a baby move. Your tube would rupture long before that point. I experienced similar sensations after having had either one or two of my babies, so it does happen. I know it was gas, not sure why it felt so distinctly like a baby! It only happened off and on for a few months. Since that time, I've never experienced it again. Strange feeling, but normal!

I've had this for about 2 years . . . so it's obviously not a baby for me! I've figured out that for me it's muscle spasms caused by certain foods I eat. If I lay off of MSG, caffiene, High-fructose Corn Syrup, I don't feel it at all. I know it has somewhat to do with the muscle issues I'm in the middle of being diagnosied with, but I have also talked to other moms who have said that they've realized that stimulants in foods do the same thing to them (they also thought they were preggers). Just a thought!

Thank you so much for asking this! I've been experiencing the same thing lately, and have been freaking out about it. This forum is so great.
