I occasionally get a fluttering feeling in my lower abdomen.  It mimics the feeling of early fetal movement, even the location is similar. However, I am not pregnant. I am not having any other digestive issues. Just wondering what this might be? thank you
Hi. Thanks for your query. Since you have mentioned this as a typical fetal movement and in the same position, that you are so much certain of, and since you do not have any digestive issues as you have specifically mentioned, this can be taken as a case of Pseudocyesis. In Pseudocyesis the re is no actual pregnancy, but the patient gets all the signs and symptoms of being pregnant. I would advise you the following:Get an ultrasonography and standing X-ray of the abdomen and a urinary pregnancy test. Consult the Gynecologist. And be assured if all the tests are normal. Nothing specific treatment is needed as this is self-limiting and passes off most of the time the moment you have next periods. Assurance is the biggest treatment at the moment. If something is found during the course of investigations or the tests, the treatment can be guided as per the cause.
