Why all the sudden...

I'm having pain around my scar and phantom kicks/movements? I thought this was supposed to happen much sooner? Especially the phantom kicks. I never expected them after almost 3months! Is this Normal?

Don't know if you're still having this issue, but I've only just read this message and wanted to tell you that after my first c-section, I was feeling them up to 2-3 months later, too.

I had a fairly traumatic EMCS and the scar is unusual, and I bled for nearly 8 weeks after. So that may have something to do with it. Then again, maybe not. But I did want you to know that I felt the same. I always just assumed it was my uterus getting back to normal. But then I felt them every month before my period for up to about 2 YEARS after the birth!!

Oh my gosh! Thank you for posting this. I had "phantom kicks" after my LO was born, and I would tell my husband and he would look at me like I was nuts!

I didn't know that this was actually a real thing! I thought I was clever coming up with "phantom kicks" all on my own, LOL.

Apparently I am not that creative.

I still have them 6 months later.

Me too, I thought I was going a bit mad
