Keep feeling kicks but not pregnant...

Hi,
Not sure what topic to put this under.
But I keep feeling kicks in my stomach and I have for a couple of months now... I've had my period every month so I'm confused.
I can actually feel the "kicks" on the outside too when I put my hand to it. It genuinely feels like a baby moving but maybe it's just a weird twitch 😬 I'm very confused?
I had a baby 6 months ago and had an emergency C-section just for some background. The "kicks" are generally in my upper stomach towards my ribs. (Rarely in my lower stomach)

I've also took pregnancy tests and they were all negative. I'm just confused because I can feel them from the outside. Just wondered if any had felt this before?

I sometimes get these. My DD is three!

Phantom kicks. Haven’t had it after DD funnily enough, but did after DS.

I think it's because the muscle wall gets annihilated by the stretching so you feel gastrointestinal bubbles and stuff much more than before. I get this too. Also, when I lie in the bath I can see my stomach jiggle in time with my heartbeat. Very freaky.

Hi Mango - I have this a lot - I can even see it sometimes looking down at my stomach - I think it's air/gas going through the colon? Not a medical person though so could be something completely different!

I still get this nearly 13 years later. I've seen my stomach visible move before. I think it's just gas on the move.

Still get those from time to time. My youngest is 4 Grin.
