    Default Something odd is taking place inside my body

    For the last 4 or 5 nights , whenever I lay down I feel this thumping inside of me. Below the belly button and above the pubic bone. IE where a baby kicks.

    Its only when I lay down and yes you can put your hand ontop of my stomach and feel it. It's basically only in one area and doesn't seem to move around.

    I have been pregnant , so I know what a baby kicking feels like. Although its been damn near 8 years.

    I remember that my sons kicked the most at night, when I'd lay down and attempt sleep. I went back and read books and journals I kept during my pregnancies and found that at around 4 months I could feel them outside of my stomach. Before then it was just what i call the butterfly effect.

    Im confused by this thumping feeling though. Ive had a period every month, although they've only been 2 days tops. But theyve been heavy and with cramps etc etc. You know normal periods. They aren't late. I've had them start coming earlier by a few days.

    My boobs aren't swollen and smells and tastes aren't effecting me. I've also went from 138 to 120 lbs in a matter of about a month and a half. So I'm not gaining weight. I'm losing it.

    Im completely mystified and I guess I have to assume it's just gas or something. But I have never experienced anything at all like this and it's really sorta scarey.

    Has anyone ever had anything ever like this? Im really getting paranoid about it since its every fucking night OR when I lay down for a while. I mean like clockwork I can lay down and put my hand on my stomach below the belly button and sure enough the thumping starts

    For anyone that's been pregnant it feels a lot like when the baby has the hiccups.

    Im totally spooked.

    probably gas! ive had that before and thought i was prego again, are you chewing alot of gum? that will make u gassy as well as eating too fast or too little.

    but take a test if u have missed a period.

    although i very highly doubt your pregnat take a test just to be sure someone not in there trying to say hello.

    also it would not hurt to go to the doctor.

    It could be a cyst. My cysts do all sorts of weird things, an odd thumping sensation sometimes but it's a bit painful & temporary.

    YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've often raised an eyebrow and even taken preg. tests because of it. I had my room mate place her hand there and push the slightest bit and she was like WHOA. I am pretty sure it was gas because I have a really airy tummy, but it was lower like you described and very clearly a "jumping, thumping" kind of feeling. It was no baby, so I guess it was gas!

    Im freaking out. how long did yours last for? Im wondering if mine is from the current weight loss . But when I push back on it it thumps or kicks..whatever you wanna call it. I know my luck though, and if there were to be anyone pregnant without knowing it ... oh shit it would be me.

    Now if it goes to switch sides ( like babies do ) im going to probably have a fit . So far its staying on my left hand side and hasn't swam to the other.

    dear god almighty. I feel like one of those women you'd read about on the front page of the weekly world news " woman thought she had gas turns out she was pregnant "

    I get that every now and then and I KNOW it isnt from pregnancy(or if it is I should be in guinness book of records since I've been feeling it for about 20 years!). I asked my dr once and he said its most likely either gas or a muscle spasm.I DO feel it a lot after I work out...esp if the work out was ab-intensive.

    Haha. Like they said once on roseanne or friends or something random "im gonna be like those fat ladies in minnesota who didn't know they were pregnant till they went to take a sheet and a baby came out"

    Mine still does it all the time, and mostly when I'm layiing down, like you said. My tummys always acting up so its been doing it a while. It usually goes away if I take a couple of gas-x strips.

    depending on exactly where it is, your aorta runs through your abdomen, and is more palpable when lying on your back...i've lost a LOT of weight over the years, and it's definitely more noticeable when i'm smaller...

    next time it happens, try feeling another pulse point at the same time and see if they match up...when my weight was at it's lowest, i could sometimes even SEE my pulse about where you're describing...

    Lightbulb Re: Something odd is taking place inside my body

    Tart, sweetie, is this symptom occuring during your ovulation days ? Because if so, you and the other ladies may be experiencing mittelschmerz, which is pain in the midsection during ovulation.

    Although you should definitely take a preg test / get checked for ovarian and uterine cysts and fibroids (which can cause involuntary vaginal muscle spasms), I suspect that this may be a possibility to your symptom.

    During ovulation, the follicle stretches the ovarian lining and this may cause cramping. Also, when the follicle ruptures it may release fluid or blood, which can irritate the abdominal lining, causing uterine contractions.

    Mittelschmerz varies in intensity, producing dull aching to severe cramping. This pain may last a few seconds, minutes or days.

    It always presents on the side of the fallopian tube which holds the ovary that released the egg (the abdominal side that is ovulating). Sometimes, the pain alternates and sometimes it is constant on one side.

    Mark a calender with your symptoms and check if they land on your ovulation days. If so, this is probably the cause of your concern

    Sounds like a little spasm maybe. I get it in my lip and my eye sometimes and you can see and feel it move. I guess your insides could do the same thing?
