Fast, pulsating feeling in abdomen...?

On and off for a week now when I am in bed at night I sometimes feel this really fast pulsating feeling in my abdomen (almost like a muscle spasm feeling.) At first I thought it was my own pulse, but it is always like 3 times faster, which is why it freaked me out at first. Any other ladies experience something like this?

Re: Fast, pulsating feeling in abdomen...?

  • any chance its the baby movements your feeling ????and is this your first coz they say u feel the movement sooner with yo subsequent pregancies

  • I have felt it several times too. I chalk it up to gas.

  • I also had this for 2 days and then it went away. I was a little freaked out and even posted about it but as long as its not painful, I wouldn't worry. If you are totally freaked out you can call your doctor. 
  • I had the same feeling this morning, I figured it was gas also... I always think everything is due to gas lol

  • Somebody posted yesterday on 2nd tri about feeling a pulse in their lower ab and someone suggested it could be the baby. I have felt something like this twice in the past two days, and I know it is not gas. I thought it was my own pulse, but it was faster, and I didn't know why there would suddenly be 3-4 strong beats that I could feel, instead of a constant pulse. I am going to try to pay more attention to it to see if I can decipher what it is.

  • It's just muscle twitching.  All this stretching and moving is tough on your muscles and especially your ligaments, so things are just twitching around in there.

  • Thanks ladies for all your input! I guess it could just be gas or a muscle twitch, although it seemed way too weird to be either of those. And it seems to early to be baby. Who knows:-)

  • I have that all the time. I'm not too sure that it's not the baby. Mine is random. You DO feel it earlier with the second one. If it's not your first it's VERY possible.
