Going insane - I had a termination at 5 weeks pregnant and now I’m having what feels like kicking (I would be 18 weeks)

[jsws]

I know this might upset people talking about terminations etc but I had my reason. I was on the pill and already have 3 kids.

the past two days I’ve had patterns of what feels like kicks. I did a pregnancy test when I should after a termination and it came back negative. I’ve never tested again until the other day and I stupidly got pee on the part that shows the lines. I’m still on the same pill.

now I’ve had these weird kicks for two days and it’s I the morning and night. You can see my stomach move and feel them. It feels exactly how my three pregnancies felt

surely this isn’t possible? After a very negative test?

It could be gas causing phantom kicks.Or you’re about 2 months pregnant but then you wouldn’t feel kicks

Could you have got pregnant immediately afterwards? If your pill failed you once, it could have failed again couldn't it?

You need to do another pregnancy test, really. Or go to the GP to get an examination.

You need a test ASAP

Go and see a medical professional.

What do you think OP?
if you’re feeling movement (and seeing!) then you need an ultrasound ASAP

I had some phantom kicks / spasms which i could see and feel for a while after my pregnancies. Still worth testing again though.

Are there any supermarkets open till 12 in your area where you could buy another test?

A 24 hour ASDA or Tesco will have tests on the shop floor, so you can still buy one if the pharmacy counter is closed.

The ASDA own-brand ones have a reputation for false positives.

It's possible that you have stomach cramps or trapped wind. I get visible bumps popping up on my stomach during IBS bouts.

Do another test.

I get what feels like a baby kicking but it is just wind.

I’m sure it’s not real kicks op just your mind playing tricks. I would take a test to put yourself at ease

Have you had periods since you had the termination?

Do you have any symptoms like sore breasts, sickness or what might be a bump developing?

Yes, I had them for a couple of years after having DD2, IIRC.

Well you need to do another test surely?

I had kicks after my miscarriage for months after but was just wind or my empty womb going back in place.

How are you doing op?

I think you need an ultrasound, just to be sure

Have you managed to do another test yet @jsws?

Could you have got pregnant soon after your termination? Either way you need a pregnancy test.

Do a pregnancy test
