Pregnant- 5 Weeks Along- Having Flutterings. Is This Normal Posted: 11-08-07 16:46pm
I'm about 5 weeks along and am feeling
flutterings in my abdomen. I know it's
way too early for the baby to be moving
yet. I've had these feelings before,
usually a few days before I start my
period. Am I being paranoid, or could I
possibly be having a miscarriage? Is my
body rejecting my baby? I've had 2
miscarriages before this and this
fluttering happened then as well. Is it
just a coincidence or is this something I
should really be concerned about?

I wish you the best of luck with this
pregnancy, and am sorry to hear that you
have had to miscarriages. A fluttering
feeling is definitely not the baby moving,
most women will feel movement around 18
weeks or later.
There are many other organs doing their
jobs in that area of your belly, so it may
be only coincidental that you feel a
fluttering before you have a miscarriage.
When you are pregnant you may be more
concentrated on what is going on in that
area of your body than at other times. It
may be happening when you are not pregnant
and you may not notice since you are
preoccupied with other things.
It is never bad to be worried or paranoid
about a pregnancy, especially when you
have not had success with two others.
Although you normally wouldn't contact an
OB about your pregnancy at this time, it
doesn't hurt to ask if they could help you
out and talk to them about your very real
and legitimate fears. Some might suggest
progesterone supplements if your levels
never get high enough to carry a baby.
In these early stages, not much can be
done if you do start to miscarry. The
only other thing you can do is take it
easy and try to do some relaxation
techniques.
