It's almost tickling me! It is right in the cenre above the pubic bone.

Any ideas?

Trapped wind

Oh help - clicked on this because I have the same and am hoping that there is a rational explanation that doesn't turn my life upside down ......... Please say it could be wind!

Smithagain · 25/02/2009 17:13

Thank you Mrs McCluskey

memoo · 25/02/2009 17:14

yeah but smith, could you be pregnant?

BlameItOnTheBogey · 25/02/2009 17:16

Or more seriously, if you are not pregnant, there is a thing called something like phantom kicks which women experience after pregnancy where they have a sensation like feeling kicks. 'Tis quite common apparently.

Elaineee · 25/02/2009 17:16

I'm not due my period for another week, would a baby really be tickling me already?

It's driving me crazy because it is really tickly!!

Nah you wouldn't feel it that soon but that said, I continued to have periods when I was pregnant so.....

screamingabdab · 25/02/2009 17:25

Could indeed be wind. I get those and there's absolutely no chance I could be pregnant.

(I quite like them, though, reminds be of being pregnant ...)

NorktasticNinja · 25/02/2009 17:25

I had those phantom kicks after I had DD. Was most strange, it didn't start until a month or two after the birth but it went on for ages.

Smithagain · 25/02/2009 17:47

I don't think I could be pregnant. Have implant, am having period, have been v v careful ... but this feeling does feel very like early movements. Weird.

Smithagain · 27/02/2009 08:37

Update - am officially not pregnant. Wind it is, I guess!

PortofinoLovesPancakes · 27/02/2009 09:29

I get that sometimes. Feels exactly like early baby movement but low down. DD is nearly 5 though and I am def not PG. I put it down to wind!

MrsMcCluskey · 27/02/2009 12:47

Parrrrp!!
