Question

Are phantom fetal kicks/movements a thing? Today I was sitting in bed and felt a quick jab right below my ribs. It shocked me and I immediately recognized it as the same feeling I got when I was pregnant, when Karii would move or kick. I'm 6 weeks postpartum and it's the first time this has happened.

@mamahoude,  it was so strange! it felt so real I almost thought I was still pregnant...until I looked at my son and realized something wasn't adding up lol! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom at least I know I'm not imagining it! Thanks!

Its always been my belief that it's the uterus adjusting/shrinking, but I don't know.  Either way you're not alone because I still deal with it.

@kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, hmm. it doesn't feel anything like when I have gas but I guess it could be.

Kimberly · Answer

Someone told me it was gas, but I feel them all the time and I'm a year postpartum.
