5 weeks postpartum - tummy moving?

Hi all,

I just wanted to see if anyone else had this strange thing happen?

I had my baby five weeks ago and today I’ve noticed my stomach is moving like it’s being kicked from the inside, just like baby kicks. I’ve heard and read about ‘phantom pregnancies’ and ‘phantom kicks’ but no where mentioned actually seeing the kicks or your tummy actually moving???

I know my tummy is still contracting back from
The pregnancy but these don’t feel like contractions, they feel exactly like baby kicks and even my husband can see them!

I had an emergency c section if that makes any difference but I just wanted to see if anyone else had this thing happen to them?

Thanks in advance!

I think that’s one for the doctors.

I had this after all 3 c sections! It was wind

Yep I had this! Really weird but it went away. Combination of womb contracting / trapped wind from the section
