Q: Strange Belly Movement ! Fetal or Passing Gas ?

The last two weeks I have been having what feels like fetal movement but I don't think I am pregnant because I took a test in July and some were negative while others had a phantom line... My friend told me if it is a line that light it indicates negative... Plus I had a very heavy period on7/27 but I am about 2 days late now but my periods are never regular... So my question is what can this movement be if not gas because I have been not passing gas Embarassed ... The movement does not hurt or anything and just reminds me of being pregnant before but surely I would not be this far along if I was pregnant! I have noticed my belly seems to be swollen but also I have not had any problems w/bowel movements! Please help not sure what to do and your responses would be greatly appreciated! Also I can see this movement through the outside!!1

Go to a clinic and get a test. They can do an ultrasound as well. Smile

even if you were pregnant you would not be feeling movement yet. the only way to be sure is to go to a Dr or clinic to be checked out. i get gas that just stays in my gut and rumbles around. it is annoying! i know it is that too, and i get extremely bloated even when bm are regular, i have ibs though.

Especially eHealthy
its way to early for you to be feeling anything at this point so its defiantely NOT from a baby moving around

You could very well have been preggo and having a period for the past few months. I know several people who have had periods for the first 3-4 months of their pregnancies and had no clue they were preg. I would go in for a test @ the dr's office! A light line for most pregnancy tests, if you read the directions carefully, indicates a positive test. Good luck!

This is soo weird, but I have the same exact feeling in my belly. I can actually see it sputter. Did you have any luck on finding out what was causing this??
