Abdominal flutters
Hi everyone, I had a C section in Nov last year and have noticed that I keep getting abdominal flutters every now and again. I'm breastfeeding and there is no way I'm pregnant, but it does just feel like those first kicks! Not at all painful, just like little spasms. Can anyone relate?

Yep. Phantom kicks. It’s all muscle memory and spasms
I get them too, phantom kicks. I had my c section Nov. They only happen in the left side of my abdomen if I lie on my right side 😂 I panicked when I first experienced them haha x
I remember this after my emergency c section, like popping and random spasms! Such a weird feeling
For me I noticed that when I started getting feeling back in my skin. I imagine it’s like nerve endings being formed or something? Like at the beginning if I had an itch near the incision site & I scratched it, I couldn’t feel the scratching. But around the time when I got the flutters you’re describing, that’s when I had some of the feeling return, if that makes sense.
