Weird kicking feeling

8 replies

nomorepeppax · 14/02/2020 07:54

Hi all, hope someone can help I feel like I'm going mad!

For the past 6 months if not longer I've been getting feelings in my stomach as if there is a baby kicking. The last 3 days it's been pretty constant. I have an 18 months old dd and am not on contraception apart from condoms when needed. I have taken countless pregnancy tests all negative.

It's such a weird feeling and so much like a baby kicking that i can't think what else could cause something like that. Sometimes I worry that I am pregnant and will just go into labour suddenly

Anyone experienced anything similar

If it's been six months, it is unlikely to be a baby. Could it be wind?

Might be worth getting the GP to examine you, just to rule out anything worrying.

It just feels so much like a baby kicking that I think, what if?

I don't think it's wind as I never seem to pass any after or have any pain and it will happen at random times of the day, yesterday about 3pm it was happening for over 30 mins and again this morning for around 10 mins.

I thought about going to the GP but feel silly. Maybe I should just to be on the safe side

Have you had regular periods for these past 6 months that this has been happening? I don't mean this badly but are you overweight to the point you'd not notice a bump growing? And have you had any other symptoms of pregnancy during the 6 months? Breast growing, nausea, heartburn etc.

Periods have been pretty regular. Not overweight and have been losing weight. Only other symptom is occasional nausea, but probably only once every week or so

I had this, albeit not for as long as you. I honestly would have sworn it was a baby kicking (did a pregnancy test just in case!) but I guess it was just my bowels doing something odd 🤷‍♀️

@Spam88 it's the weirdest feeling isn't it

I think once you have had children you feel more in your tummy due to separated tummy muscles. Do you have this op?

I get this too.
