Hi Ladies!

Have any of you experienced a jumpy feeling in your stomach sort of like a baby kicking or a twitchy nerve?

    Yeah, I was getting it all the time, and had a lot of gas and other bowel issues at the same time though so I chalked it up to that, was told I have GERD and that it could be a symptom of that and/or hormones.  I still get it every once in a while (just the other day) but I'm used to it now.

      Yes! That's where I have it! I especially feel it when I am sitting. I have a bunch of fibroids so I don't know if that is what's causing this sensation.

      Its comforting to know there are others out there experiencing the same. I was thinking what in the world is wrong with me my anxiety already runs sky high. I have had a terrible day. Im perinoid im having stiffness in my back but only on one side. Thats weird to me. I feel like I went to having a couple of good days to totally falling apart!!

      It feels like little baby kicks or twitching muscles. It's weird but then again majority of these period sensations are weird anyways.

    Hi,

     I got these a lot before I had my op. Still get them now but less often. I think they are called fasciculations - involuntary muscle twitches. For me it was upper abdomen and felt like a baby moving or kicking. I understand they can increase with anxiety or stress. Might not be the same thing as yours of course. X

      Hi Lornaj , was just reading your post. I have the same as you, feels like twitchy electric shocks- so horrible. I've also had it on my cheeks, I've booked to see doctor Friday about HRT as I cannot carry on like this. I also read that the more we become anxious and stressed the more it affects the sharp pains - cannot win !!

      Hi Deborah

      Mine are not sharp pains just feels like a really nervous tummy and as tho I'm scared altho I am not. The slightest noise or movement gets tummy going and heart racing. Also same as you going very red and blotchy even when I'm not having a hot flush. Very embarrass ing. Unfortunatly I can't have hrt sue to health problems been told by Dr I have to learn to cope with all the effects of menopause.. Great help
