Please tell me I am not crazy.
Randomly, for the past week or so I have been having phantom baby kicks. I am 8 months pp and, unless I am birthing the next Jesus, I am pretty confident I am not pregnant.
Has this happened to anyone else? Why would it randomly start now?

I got them randomly until...well, I felt one a few nights ago, at 18 months pp!
Dunno why, but I know several bees who have said the same thing!

I had that after Chloe was born!
I even saw my belly move once and was freaking out.
It was gas. I had to fart. Ba-dum-cha!
Any chance that's what's happening with you?!

@Mrs. Jump Rope: Ha! Possible. I am generally a pretty gassy gal (yay alliteration)!

It happens to me from time to time, though it was worse earlier on. Makes me wonder how many early kicks were just... gas. Haha.

Yup, I have it every once in a while now at 6 months pp. But I know it's just gas. Hot.

I had them until I found out I was pregnant with #2 at almost 18 months PP. I haven't had them at all this time.

I still have phantom kicks at a year pp. I mean, maybe I'm wrong but I really don't think it feels like gas!

I just had these this week, at 6 months pp. Crazy! I know it has to be gas bubbles or something...but its so convincing. Crazy body.

Yep, I got them alllllllll the time until about a month ago, now they're going away a bit. I'm almost 9 months pp.

Yes! I still have them every once in a while at 16 months PP. Weirdest thing ever. I occaisoinally worry that I'm having an "I didn't know I was pregnant" moment.

Yes, I remember it happening last fall when my husband lost his job. I was about 16 months pp then. Omg it freaked me out! But now I know it was just my stomach being crazy stressed out.
