It feels like when a rabbit thumps their foot really fast several times in a row. And its been going on all day and most of yesterday. It started like 2 weeks ago or so and started with just one small movement once a day and now its all day long with little breaks of 10 to 20 mins inbetween and then settle for an hour or so and then start back up with tons of movement twitches for 10 mins straight with a few second breaks inbetween. Some are even so strong i can see my whole belly shake..Wtf i know there is no way i can be pregnant ive taken several tests and had my periods every month menstral cramps and all. Is this just a bizar case of muscle spasms?0Comment Advertisement | page continues below

  Phantom kicks. I get them all the time.

• adnewton1985 Posted 03-01-12

  I'm so glad someone else is doing this as well.I started having those a while back but not as severe as it sounds like yours are.There was no way I could be pregnant.I didn't think anyway.But that definately eases my mind that I'm normal lol.

• lLb9smom Posted 03-01-12I just started getting them as well It seemed to have started around the same time we started weaning. Wondering if it is a hormone thing as well as a muscle spasm. Mine have been strong the last couple of days and lasting longer.Advertisement | page continues below
• rabbitsplay7 Posted 03-01-12You should my post from around a month ago. That stuff will screw with your mind!!!
• mmkbaucher Posted 03-02-12

  i totally get them too, haven't had them for awhile now, but the more recent ones coincided with a late/missed period and really got my hopes up. POAS and it turns out my cycle is just going to be irregular again :-(

  (yes i have baby fever for #2)

• llizzee04 Posted 03-02-12Get them too. A lot last night.
• lhicks2 Posted 03-02-12

  Ive been getting them for months too!!! very strange feeling but glad Im not alone!

• aAJMKAC Posted 03-02-12

  i get them sometimes too! usually if i'm moving a certain way. i think it's just a muscle twitching/spasm though.

• lldschic07 Posted 03-02-12

  I've been getting phantom kicks up by my ribs and occasionally down by my uterus. Apparently my mind misses the thrid trimester!

• ffloweringtree Posted 03-02-12

  I get them too! In fact I had them last night (and I'm currently having my period!) It's very strange.....
