feels like a baby kicking-not pregnant

[stafford990103]

I keep having this sensation like a baby kicking, but I am not pregnant. It is on the left side and it has been going on for a few days. I have not been eating anything unusual and I have been going to the restroom like normal. The sensation is about 4 inches to the left of my bellybutton and is driving me nuts! Anyone...?

Did you ever get a response to this? I have the same exact thing going on and I'm almost concerned. It's going on for the past 3 weeks now.

gas comes to mind...

OMG, This is the first time I heard of anyone having the same thing as me. I just went to the doctor the other day for a follow up (they think I have colitis) and I told him that I have the strangest thing. It feels like a baby is kicking me on my left side and that I am not pregnant. I have to go see a Gastroenterologist.

I have the *exact* same thing over the last week. It's not always so high as my belly button though. A little lower. It feels genuinely like a baby kicking. My husband even pushed his hand up against my abdomen and confirms that it feels exactly like a baby. Someone in another forum told me that it always turns out to be gas when she gets that baby kicking feeling. I'd be curious to know if it is colitis or something I should go to a gastroenterologist for.

It might feel like you're getting stabbed in the area, but drink something hot and see if it helps, it really could be gas, seriously, if you don't drink something hot regularly, you could get it, if you do drink it regularly and stop, you might get it, so try it, you have no reason not to, and if it feels any worse then seeing a doctor is a good idea.

Ok - I've been googling all evening looking for something like this! This started a couple of months ago and mine is on the right side, a couple of inches below my belly button. It's progressed to the point where my abdomen actually (and visibly) expands a bit - today there was a sharp burning pain at the same time (it only last a few minutes.)

I'm definitely not pregnant (it would be an immaculate conception if I was!) and it doesn't feel like gas...

Any thoughts? Thanks!

Wow, I also have had this experience twice, months apart, each lasting for several weeks. The first time it was in my lower left side of my abdomen. The second time just above my belly button. Everytime I sneezed it would start, just like if there were a baby and I woke it up. My doctor told me it was gas but quite frankly, I have been so ill the past two years with not one diagnosis for any of my symptoms. For awhile I felt like I was going to pass out after eating, not always, it depended on what I ate. I pretty much figured out I could not eat gluten. Then my son was diagnosed with celiac so I suspect I have it too. Although my biopsy and blood tests were negative (well I had been gluten free on my own for a year prior). Anyway, when you see the gastroenterologist, it couldn't hurt to get the celiac blood panel test done. It is often misdiagnosed as IBS etc.
Just curious, I assume all of the individuals who said it feels like a baby kicking are female?
The way I have been feeling I think the alien embryo (or other parasite) suggestion could be the answer to my problem!! Just wait until I suggest this to the Doc!! He has already told me I need a psychologist!
