Muscle spasm in tummy

[greedychops]

I am 11 weeks pg so too early to feel movements, but when I sat on the sofa this week, it felt like I had been kicked in the tummy (from inside) by a big baby. It reminded me of a big kick at about 30 weeks in previous pregnancies.

Anyone else had this and know what it is? Have had it a couple of times since, and I am nervous that my tummy muscles are separating or something?

I have had this from about 12 weeks, very strange feeling. It happened in the cinema the other day and I let out a little yelp (very embarrassing ).
No idea why its happening or when it will. This is my 4th DC and I don't remember it happing with the others, I am 18 weeks and getting plenty of normal movement and my 12 week was fine so I have no idea.
Sorry haven't been much help, but at least you know your not on your own.

That's great to know that someone else has had it pink clouds - my dh got a surprise when I yelled too . Would have sworn it was a baby kick if I had been further along.

YES! I keep getting this too - it's always when I'm twisting backwards (like, when I'm reaching for something on bed-side cabinet, for example)

It feels as though someone is poking me. The first time I accused asked my DH if he'd prodded me, lol. The second time I jumped so much I actually went to 'brush off' the persons hand who had poked me!!

I'm trying not to move in that way now cos it freaks me out slightly but I keep forgetting and doing it anyway. Maybe I'll mention it to the midwife next time I'm there...

me too this is my 3rd dc and i dont think i had it last time, it is freaky, think its somthing to do with the uterus and muscle's stretching???

Maybe it's a strange third or fourth pregnancy symptom that they just don't tell you about. Glad it's not just me though. Always like safety in numbers.
