Hey guys! So I am currently 8 weeks pregnant with our rainbow baby. Starting about a month or two after our previous loss, I began experiencing what I can only describe as "phantom kicks" where my belly/uterus would twitch or spasm. I'm thinking that was probably just everything going back to normal. We lost her in the end of July. We found out we are pregnant again just after New Years. All that time, I've been experiencing those "phantom kicks" occasionally, probably about once or twice a month.

Since being pregnant, they have increased in number. I'm now experiencing several a day, and you can physically see the twitches on occasion (it's not just internal). They don't hurt, it's just a strange feeling and I always jump to 'OH IT'S A KICK', but then I think 'no, it's way too early'. I never felt anything like this with my first pregnancy (until about 18 wks when I started to feel her kick... but those were obvious kicks). Could it be that I'm feeling the beginning of movement of baby because I'm hyper aware? Or do you think it's just my uterus and belly expanding? Or is it maybe a combination?

Has anyone else experienced something similar?
