I can't tell if I love or hate...

Phantom fetal movement.  I know it's just gas or a twitch or something, but sometimes it feels so much like a baby kick.  I love it because that was the coolest feeling ever, but I also hate it because I freak myself out and think dear God am I somehow, unknowingly, 20 weeks pregnant?!?!

And before you tell me to POAS, I'm just finishing my period, so I know that's not the case, I just temporarily forget that when my phantom fetus kicks me.

    I think we always had these spasms before.. just never knew that they felt like little baby kicks until we experienced that.  hehe

    but I know what you mean.. they drive me crazy as well.

    Hah.  I always wonder how many times I *thought* she was kicking me when I just had gas.

    I am so glad I am not the only one who has thought this.

    DH and I decided not to use BC after DS was born and I just POAS on the first of every month just to make sure. Luckily our personal BC of EBFing has worked so far. Now when I have the phantom fetal movements I can rest easy that it was just whatever I ate.
