Kicking feelings 6 months postpartum?

[ladysarcasma]

I had a c-section in February. Just this month, I've felt something that feels like the baby kicking very low in my belly. I know I felt something similar the first time, but I think it was much sooner afterward.

I'm terrified to think I might have gotten pregnant again. It's way too soon after the type of surgery I had, and DH and I have been having major problems (obviously a bit of fun too).

Anyone else have this? Should I be worried?

I had this too. They're known as phantom kicks and quite a lot of people get them. I even ended up taking a test as I was that convinced the kicks were real! I've no idea what causes them, but usually nothing to worry about

I got the phantom kicks for the 1st year, it really is so weird! I have no idea what causes them. xx

My friend researched this phenomenon (so please take this with a grain of salt as its secondary information) but she said the sensation comes from your insides repositioning from pregnancy. Mine went away about a year after. They seriously freaked me out a few times lol but i take tests constantly so i knew i wasnt hehe

I've had this a few times. I had it more in the hospital than I have since coming home. It's definitely weird, but I was putting it down to uterus trying to go back to normal size, but cannot explain the more recent ones.
