I hope i don't gross anyone out, but I
don't know if this is pregnancy or if it's
a parasite. I've been told I can't have
kids anymore so that's not an option, but
I thought I'd ask here. I have movement
in my abdomen like kicks and pokes. It
also started out like fluttering and now
it's definate kicks and pokes. My belly
isn't growing. (I'm a plus size lady) I't
been since late October when the
fluttering started. What is going on with
me? I've had kids before and that's what
it feels like. The only other thing I can
think of is parasites??? Help!!

Oh my.
You should definitely schedule yourself
for an ultrasound no matter what it is.
I don't know why you were told that you
couldn't have any more children, but
sometimes doctors make mistakes and you
could be pregnant and would need to find
out so that you could start to take proper
care of yourself and your growing baby.
If it's something else, then whatever it
is that is moving around is certainly not
healthy and will drain you of all
nutrients and make you very sick.
I would bet more on a pregnancy since it
feels to you more like a pregnancy and I
do not think that a parasite would have as
much of an ability to move like a baby,
but of course, only you know how you would
feel. I think that parasites would have a
marked bad impression on your health as
well....such as a tape worm, which would
make you hungry all the time and you would
start to feel very drained and tired.
Since you are a plus size lady, it is very
likely that you wouldn't notice your belly
grow either.
Good luck with the ultrasound and keep me
updated!

about the movement - when I lay down to
sleep it stops until I wake up in the
morning. No itching or burning in the
*bum* (sorry) and I feel wonderful nothing
painful, at all. I'm just not sure, ya
know? I'm afraid to go to my dr as she's
a quack. Maybe I'll try a new dr.
Sometimes it feels like a poke!
thanks for your help!

Why don't you take a pregnancy test?

I took one back before the fluttering
became pokes and kicks and it was
negative. I also don't have a period.

So take another one now that you're
feeling those & since you don't have a
period!! How long ago did you take one?
And how long have you not had a period?
