Phantom kicks to the point DH can feel them

I've been getting baby like movements in the past week, really strong kick type feelings to the point if DH puts his hand on my belly he can feel 4/5 little kicks within 10 seconds when it's happening.

I've been getting my period each month so I really don't think I'm pregnant. But on the other hand I doubt gas or any other internal movements would occur this much over the whole week. I've had 3 DC, youngest is 1 and it feels exactly like pregnancy and a baby kicking. I can even see the movements in my belly.

What on earth is going on?!
AIBU to be certain I'm not pregnant?

I get this. I sometimes catch it on film. Unless I have had a continuous 15 year pregnancy, I am not pregnant.

I do occasionally get phantom kicks after having two C-sections. However I also, years ago had a pregnancy where I had a period every month and about eight negative tests. The doctor had refused to do a blood test under the circumstances but not only had I been feeling kicking for a while but had started leaking milk, which I went and squirted at the doctor to force him to take action! Lo and behold, an ultrasound showed me about six months along. Still having a monthly bleed too.
