Has anyone been experiencing what feel like kicks/twinges in their belly? I'm 3 weeks pp and it freaked me out. Apparently it's quite common. I think it's caused by gas/your stomach digesting as your belly is so soft you feel more compared to prepregnancy?!
-
7 months postpartum with my second and I'm -still- feeling phantom kicks. So very very normal.
-
My last phantom kick was around 15m pp!!!
-
@NaturallyCathy: @locavore_mama: wow- glad to know its common! And crazy it can last that long!
-
Yep I definitely feel them even at almost 6 months pp!!
-
Normal! I still get phantom kicks at 1 year pp, much less now though. Pretty sure its just gas these days.
-
Yep, I had a weird episode of them recently at 12 months pp.
-
Most definitely! I am 10 months pp now, and recently I had phantom kicks often enough that I ended up POAS to be sure I wasn't pregnant.
-
Yes. I was convinced I was pregnant because of them, and my husband had a vasectomy!
-
Maybe there is another one hiding out in there?
Just kidding!
-
@Mrs.Someone: haha that's what DH said!
-
Never heard of phantom kicks before- but lately I've been getting twinges where my contractions were in my back.
-
8 months pp and still get them! Such a weird feeling!
-
I got those! Also, after I weaned my first, I would always get phantom let-down feelings, super awkward!
