    For the past few days I've been having what feels identical to the first flutters and kicks of a baby. Now I'm 100% not pregnant nor do I want to be but I keep feeling it. I'd imagine it's some sort of little spasm in the muscle or something, too close to the surface for gas. It's so odd though! Kind of nice too to remember those first kicks.

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    I had that it was werid, but usually it's just the womb settling back down and readjusting, mad when you think how it blows up like a ballon over the 9 months.

    Yeah I got them too well being honest I still get them and my daughter is nearly 20 months old.
    Its very weird but makes me smile remembering being pregnant.
    It must be the muscles and bits getting back to normal, although after 20months I would have hope I was some way back to normal?!

    I was talking to my Mum about it at the weekend and she says she still gets them (26 years since she was last pregnant) and that her mother got them well into old age. It's definitely muscle spasm (possibly abdominal muscles not the womb itself) as I was watching it this morning and you could see my belly hop like when it happens elsewhere in the body. Funny one.

    If I get flutters, its usually followed by wind :D

    I know what you mean tho, I'm sure I still have one in there at times! I even had the same sort of pressure I used to get up under my ribs the other day!

    Ya I get them too and my youngest is 7. I think you are more aware of these things after you have kids makes me wonder if half the kicks I ever felt were indeed kicks!
