Okay you BTDT moms tell me I am not the only crazy one...

A month or so I ago I could SWEAR I felt tiny little baby kicks. Of course it was just gas bubbles. But then I look down and I saw my stomach moving! I went over to Dh and was like "Do you see that?! My stomach is moving!" And he's all "Um, yeah, that is you breathing." so I stopped breathing it was still moving slightly and he's like "Yeah and that's just a blood vessel/your heart beat".
So I was all hmph, I am taking a test anyway and I was seriously scared that somehow I had been preggo for months and that I was one of those women that didn't find out till they felt baby moving! Of course it was BFN.
Maybe it has to do with my PP stomach muscles but I swear sometimes my tummy will shift around kinda the way it used to when I was pregnant.
So I have a phantom pregnancy....anyone else?

I've had them too. I took a pregnancy test once because I hadn't gotten my first AF and was feeling those "kicks".

I get gas bubbles that feel like the first movements/kicks. Also get the movements that you can see. I'm pretty sure that when you have gas bad enough that it FEELS like a kick it can move your stomach like a kick too!

I don't have this and I hope I don' get it either. It sounds creepy. I do get pregnancy symptoms though. I wonder if that will ever go away

I have so been having this on and off for months. I have taken at least 3 tests and all came back negative. I've even had regular AFs and I still get freaked out by it.

YES! Same exact same thing happens to me! It's usually a muscle twitch but it feels soooo much like a baby.
