What am I feeling?

About three inches above my belly button right under my rib, on the right side, it feels like my stomach is twitching and my skin is visibly moving. It starts a little bit above my belly button then goes almost up to my ribs in the same spot. I've been feeling it for 20 minutes or so. I don't think I'm feeling baby because I'm only 15w 5d, but I have no idea what it is.

Re: What am I feeling?

  • Probably a muscle spasm.  Baby is not that high yet.

  • Sounds like spasms to me. Try eating some potassium and see if that helps. Potatoes, banana, Gatorade etc. good luck! Hope it stops soon cause I could imagine that being annoying
  • I'm going to piggyback on this thread if it's ok. I just felt/saw the weirdest effing thing. Mine was much lower- just above my underwear line, definitely around where the baby is, where my "bump" is most visible. I've been feeling a few bubbly/tickly feelings lately and I had my shirt up and was staring at my abdomen (as one does.) I saw like a small undulating bulge, if that makes sense, which started just to the left of the center of my abdomen and then, a second later, showed up just to the right. My first thought was muscle spasm, since I'm only 16 weeks. But it was weird and didn't really look like any muscle spasm I've had before- there was a movement to it that did not look at all like a spasm.

    I'm crazy, right? There's no way I just saw the baby from the outside?

  • Is the twitching sensation in any way correlated with your pulse? I've experienced the same sensation and seen my skin moving, and it has matched up exactly with my heart rate.

    This morning I have a visible ball in my stomach that was pressing outward. I felt it and DH felt it and after putting a little pressure on it baby moved back down inside. I'm only 13w2d with my 3rd but it was no doubt baby. Mine was on the right side under my belly button.
