Why am I feeling 'baby kicks'??

For the past month or so I'm feeling baby kicks, if I was pregnant I'd be 6 months so I'd think it'd be pretty obvious, I've also had a ultrasound and internal and no pregnancy detected and nothing wrong with my ovaries yet I continue to feel kicks, what could it be? I've also had 2 blood tests and all come back ok...

I'd assume it's just a muscle spasm?

To also add I've had 1 period in 4 months which was beginning of December.

"Peristalsis action"

My friend and I both had this. You could actually "see" the "baby kicks" with her.

Turns out we both had bowel issues and we were seeing/feeling the results. The above is what it says in my medical notes.

@MyDeepZebra is there anything I can do to stop it from happening?

I'd make a GP appointment in the first instance so you know what the cause is for definite.

Both my friend and I were told to take buscopan, which worked but you really need to ask a professional.

@MyDeepZebra I’m already in the process with the doctor he sent me for two blood tests an ultrasound and internal scan so I’ll mention this to him when we discuss the next steps now all of the above came back ok.

It happened to me, you could also see them externally. No idea what it was, but wasn’t a baby. I’ve had three so I know what the kicks feel like. But it was very weird. They just disappeared on their own in my case.
