does it happen when you are awake?
all i know is that between having my first baby and falling pregnant with my second, sometimes when i was asleep i would feel kicks but it was more than just dreaming, they felt very very real and for a few minutes after i woke in the morning i could still remember exactly what the kicks felt like. now during the time i am awake if i try to think about exactly what a kick feels like i cannot remember or imagine the same sensation - it only happened when i was asleep and as i say it is incredibly real. the same as you really - you would think you are pregnant when you are feeling the kicks.
i had my second baby 20 days ago and even during the time i am awake i cannot remember exactly what those kicks feel like. i havent felt the "kicks" at night time since she has been born, but it has only been a very short time!

Do you think that subconsciously you want another baby? I've been trying for almost 10 months now and sometimes get those feelings - I've done pregnancy tests when I know that I can't be pregnant because of them! Don't know if its psychological because I want another baby or if its just wind! But its very strange. Its more flutters than kicks though in my case. It seems like it's quite common though :-))xx

I HAD THIS i was completely convinced i was pregnany but like u i thought omg this is gona be one big blood baby! i had it right up until i fell pregnant 2nd time (almost 2 years)
i actually went to the dr about it coz it was bothering me so much.
i was told that its really common its wear everything has moved and stretched etc from pregnancy its most likely wind and u can feel it moving around and popping and bubbling through ur bowels.
but dr did also say that they were not completely 100% sure on this but his was their best most educated guess.

hope this helps u, its really weird and really threw me x

Hey, thanks for your comments everyone. I thought I might just be a bit weird so its nice to hear that other people have had the same thing and it quite common lol. As far as I know it only happens when im awake but clearly it is just wind :s lol although the description of it wasnt very comforting :) lol :p
