2nd Trimester

Stomach twitching/spasm?

Hi I have been having this weird feeling in my upper abdomen. It feels like my stomach is twitching (kind of like an eye twitch but in my stomach) and is right below my bra line and all the way across. I noticed it last night for the 1st time. I was just sitting in my chair and I felt like a steady beat so I thought maybe my heartbeat? Then a few minutes later twitching, I just sat there staring at it and rubbing my belly to see if it would stop - no. It's happening right now and I set the stop watch it seems to come and go and last about 80-90 seconds. It's not hiccups those are more like jumps in my stomach, not baby movement that I know of. This is my 3rd and I've never felt this before. I wonder if my body is just not handling this pregnancy well. Has anyone else felt this? Do you know what it could be? I'm 21 weeks if that makes any difference. Oh and they're not painful at all and I don't think it's BH. Thanks ladies :)

Re: Stomach twitching/spasm?

  • Sounds like just a muscle spasm. I get them behind my shoulder blade sometimes or in my leg or arm or stomach. I'm not sure what causes them or how to make them go away.

  • Had this exact thing the other night...I think it's just a muscle spasm.

  • Yeah, sounds like a muscle spasm.  Sorry OP, that's gotta be uncomfortable & annoying!

  • Oh :( It is very annoying. It's been doing it all day and is right now on my left. It hasn't really stopped and it kinda feels like vibrating. Idk I have an appointment on 11/2 but I'll probably call my dr monday to see what he says.
  • I had this too. I called my Dr asap cause it freaked me out. She said I pulled a  muscle somehow. It was a very strange feeling.
