You are lying down and out of nowhere, you feel something moving in your lower abdomen. You feel your belly moving, shaking and you are frightened and surprised by this sensation. What would you think if you are trying to get pregnant or even if you are not? Which are reflections of a pregnancy ! Of course, pregnancy provides several movements, including the shaking belly, but we must always remember that it is from a certain time of gestation.
When do we feel the baby move?
Usually around 14 , 15 weeks , the pregnant woman may start to feel as if they are butterflies stirring . They are subtle movements and sometimes even imperceptible, if the woman is in her first pregnancy. Feeling the most concrete movements in pregnancy happens around 18, 20 weeks when the belly also begins to appear. At this time, it is really possible to realize that it is the baby and moving.
Most cases in which women who feel certain movements in the belly, including a shaking belly, may think they are pregnant possibly because they are already waiting for a positive. The will, combined with the physiological events of the body, can provide a greater impression of movements because the woman starts to pay more attention to her body , to what she feels. When you have had one or more pregnancies, the movements are happening for a long time, it is not known why but the body is left with those reflexes of the pregnancy.
Body Mother
An unscientific explanation, but one of popular beliefs, is the Mother of the Body . This sensation is funny, it really seems to be something moving and shaking, but nothing of an ongoing pregnancy that could provoke this sensation. Here comes the doubt: “how strange, I feel my belly move and I’m not pregnant!”
The movements of the belly can be of different origins and not only because of an ongoing pregnancy. When there is an initial pregnancy, these tremors can also be the result of uterine distention. When the uterus begins to stretch due to the evolution of pregnancy, they can cause symptoms similar to the baby’s movements.
IMPORTANT: If the movements in the belly are related to other symptoms such as menstrual delay, nausea and dizziness do a pregnancy test to confirm.
What Causes Belly Movements?
The internal organs are diverse, those in the lower abdomen are those that move the most. So, intestines, tubes and muscles can be the “villains” of the story. The bowel movement is frequent and we can even feel them before becoming pregnant or even without realizing it. They are like small bites and tremors in the belly, however, due to the organ doing its job of taking the remains of ingested food towards the rectum to secrete.
Intestinal Movements
The movements of contraction and relaxation of the intestine can sometimes confuse yes. Constipation can also cause these phenomena. Speaking of intestines, gases can cause these movements. Incidentally, not only in the intestine but also in the stomach. Carbonated drinks, foods that generate a greater amount of fermentation also cause the very common complaint to doctors of “I feel my belly move near the navel”, is this normal?
Horn Movements
Another organ that can make you feel your belly shaking is the fallopian tubes . They are partially loose organs in the abdominal cavity. Part of them is connected to the uterus, the other part is “floating”. In the fertile period, it moves smoothly and can give a feeling of pulsation and tremor. Muscles are also a factor to take into account, when it is suspected that the movements are not actually pregnant. The muscle may experience contractions and relaxation , thus giving the feeling of trembling and belly moving.
