Hi everyone :)
Just interested to see if anybody still feels those phantom kicking sensations long after the birth of bub?! My dd is almost 1 yr and i still get very clear 'kicking' sensations in my tummy. It's probably completely in my mind....perhaps because i'm feeling clucky and considering TTC bub #2 - but it's very real (and not just wind - hehehe)! Does it ever go away????
P.S - Please ignore me if i sound like a nutter!
If you're a nutter, then I'm joining you. I feel kick like senstations too, and get scared everytime LOL, but even though it feels like a kick, I know it isn't IYKWIM?
I feel a kicking sensation under my ribs when I'm in the shower and reaching up for the shampoo (see it only happens then :) ). It just so happens to be the same spot that I had some neural stretching occur (a numb/burning spot) in late pg, so that's what I'm putting mine down to.
I am pg now, but at 8w I doubt bubba is strong enough to make him/herself felt!
I remember feeling this for a few months after she was born, you're not nuts.
So glad to know it's not just me....phew!
Fletchy - i hadn't realised u still got them too :)
Nope, you're not a nutter (unless we all are ROFL).
I got these for several months after Jacob was born!!!
I think we are all nutters then if that is that case, I have gotten that after all of mine, And after finding out about being pg with this little one, I have been getting like little twinges over my abodmen like little tiny kicks. I am thinking it is just the ligaments stretching, as i tend to get adhesions with each c-section, but it has been doing in my head at times as 'i know there is no possible way it is the bub at such an early stage.
So I am pleading the ligaments stretching defence hehe
DITTO!!! I think it is a sign!LOL I want a bub again!I am even dreaming of it. Literally:
OMG!!!!
I seriously though i was feeling kicking!! ofcourse i KNEW it wasnt, but wow it feels like there is a little bubba in there some times....
I also put it down to wind, but sometimes i would swear it was kicking.... one day i was racking my brain "no i cant be, and if i were, it would be too small to feel it kick!?"
I am exactly the same. I was even doing tests for past few months as although I was having AF it was so light and short I thought maybe I was pg and feeling kicks. But Alas, no I am not and it must just be wind. Feels SOOOOOOOOO much like kicks tho. Sometimes I think it's twitching nerves or something too. But Jess is nearly 9m.o and I am still feeling it! I too want another, but not just yet as 3 under 3 might be a little hard to handle.....
I had no idea that it was so common girls!!!!! It's such a relief to hear :) I definately miss those little kicking moments - so special - at least i've got pretend ones!
hi there
I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT I FOUND THIS TOPIC!!! :eek:
I thought i was going nuts - mine only started in the last 4-6weeks and DS is nearly 7 months - I've even done a pregnancy test as I was sure that there was something odd going on....even went the docs yesterday and enquired about it - she had never heard of this....but then again she doesn't have any kids
Maybe it's because I've been hanging out with girlfriends who are very pregnant and also new borns - or maybe I'm starting to get clucky again :doh: - either way glad that I am not going crazy or atleast not anymore than i already was :p
Me tootoo, I am glad that I am not going crazy alone - my DH will be glad to hear about this!
i so thought i was just imagining feeling kicking & thought it would sound too stupid to say to anyone - so im glad im not alone! i even did a preg test to see if there was something hiding in there i didnt know about - lol
ROFL @ you girls doing PG tests because you felt kicking!!
I haven't felt phantom kicks as such but everytime that I have a cold drink I wait a sec after the first mouthful fully expecting a flurry of kicks from bubs rofl!! Of course I'm not PG so cold drinks are just making my belly cold - not a baby kick!! Each time I shake my head in amusement at myself hehe!!
PMSL - at u Fletch...can't believe Scott just told u to fart!!!!!!! ohh so funny. Yeah we've both got those little phantoms in there having a party :dance:
Thank god im not going crazy.... i have them too. I thought it might be phantom as im a little upset-sunday is my due date.... Thoughi was still wishing to be pg and my body screwing with me...
No ur not crazy at all Simone....i especially understand what it's like to have a prem bub and wish i was still preg. Some woman can't wait to get that bub out but when u have one that comes early it really makes u appreciate having them safe and close inside u :hug:
Especially when they end up going back into hospital and you feel guilty. She's been in hospital for 6 of her 9 weeks outside of me... sux. Im still getting those feelings, and im feeling sicker and sicker... gosh i hate being sick...
OMG, Holy mackerel...
I cant believe this thread!!!! HA HA HA HA!!!
I still feel definate baby kicks in my tummy & sometimes I say to DH feel this & he can feel little palpitations in my tummy (it's definately not wind)...
It is so bizarre, I cant recall if I had them with Maddy though...
I love it but it makes me feel even CLUCKIER & I already feel like a chicken!
Thanks for this thread Rae, I was always thinking it was just me!!!!!
Yep, i get them all the time.
They are nice in a way, cause it brings back memories of being pregnant.
Oh i sooooooo love hearing that so many of u gals feel the same way....it is really strange but so lovely at the same time. It's wonderful to be given those little reminders of such a special experience. Awwwww - now i really can't wait to be UTD again!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, ill have to join the nutter club to then because ive felt them after having both kids. I know with #1 DD i did a preg test. silly but it freaked me out.
I was prepared this time with DS, still freaky though.
OMG! How funny! Just the other day I had this! LOL! Ooo I hope it stays, coz it reminds me of being pregnant... and I just luuuurved being pregnant. My cluckiness is for the pregnancy more than the bub! LOL.
Oh and Fletch - I would have summoned one up just for him for saying that! ROFL.
I thought I could feel kicks or hiccups just after I gave birth (for the first day or two). But nothing since then.
OMG i cant believe i found this thread!!
haha i am a nutter too!
I was actually considering doing a pg test even though there is almost no chance it could possibly be a baby!!
oh i feel so comforted knowing im not the only one out there feeling phantoms!!
Thanks Rae for bringing this up, i wasn't game enough to!
Lol - Nic....i'm just so relieved that i'm not alone. Ella's over 1 yr now and i still feel them - crazy stuff :D
