Happens all. the. time. Now when I tell my husband that the baby in my belly is really kicking hard tonight, he should watch out…

Yep, I feel phantom kicks all the time! I, too, wonder how many “kicks” of my pregnancy were actually gas!

ha! I’m 19 wks pregnant now and still can’t figure out what’s gas and what’s the baby. probably because I’m gassy all the time.

I POAS on a stick today because after feeling it a few times I was terrified it wasn’t the IUD causing my monthly friend to go missing but a baby instead. You are so not alone.

I talked about this a few weeks ago on Twitter too. They really do feel like baby kicks. I swear if I wasn’t absolutely positive I’m not pregnant, I would assume I’m 20 weeks pregnant. Such a weird feeling.

Lends a bit of credibility to those “I didn’t know I was pregnant” people though? Doesn’t it? Apparently our stomachs can be that deceiving.
