Upper abdomen, Lower rib cage movement

[fourfrenchs]

I am not pregnant, but am feeling movement in my lower right rib cage, or upper abdomen. It is the same feeling I had when pregnant, like there is foot or hand of the baby moving in that area. I have had it for a few days now, and am wondering what it could possibly be. Thanks!

I had a similar experience to what most of you are describing. I had four ovarian cysts reading from 3-7cm in diameter.

I doubt all those with the same symptoms have ovaries. I think some may be men with the same symptoms?

Junie, perhaps it is gas moving through the intestines.  Yes, at 80 pregnancy is not possible.  I would schedule an appt. with a GI doctor.  good luck

I read all the queries, but so far - not an answer.  I have been having same
symptoms and like you I had my gallbladder removed at least 15 years ago.  I just turned 80 so doubt if pregnancy is in the mix, but I sure would like an answer from someone that has received one.  I had no idea so many, many people could have what I thought was something happening to only me!  So - has anyone got an answer?

I am having same symptoms but have ALREADY had gallbladder removed two years ago.  any other ideas?

Same! Had mine removed 12 years ago, but am still having this throbbing/thumping. It was strong on my right side for a couple weeks, now it's on the left side. Both times it has been my upper stomach by my ribs.

Same..mines been out 34 years...this movement is crazy...my 34 year old son was at my house during an episode..he thought I was crazy when I described it to him...like a baby moving...crazy...guess spasms of some kind..

My gallbladder has been out for 6 years and I have recently been feeling these throbs in my upper right ab, like right below my right breast. Feels like something is going to pop out of my tummy! It made my back slightly ache, too. Of course, this happens the morning after I drank some wine, so I'm freaked out that it could be my liver. I don't think it is, though.

I also have a feeling in my abdomen, im very thin and can feel and see it moving around, it has also gotten bigger over the past couple months, iv been having a period and im on the pill...iv never been pregnant and dont know what that feels like....when i lay down is when the movement happens the most and it moves from my right side to my left...i havent gained any weight just a growth in my stomach...someone know whats going on with me??

I am currently going through the same thing but I also feel it while sitting in front of my computer while doing college homework.  I thought it was from sitting a certain way too much and perhaps causing my intestines to push upwards over my liver area, so just figured it was gas or something.  But it happens quite a bit lately and feels like movement from a baby inside. I KNOW I am not pregnant, so I am beginning to wonder what on earth is going on inside of me. Should I be concerned an alien is going to pop out of my abdomen at any moment? No, seriously, what could it be?

My last sexual contact was two months ago  I gained  some weight which I am in the gym ,but this movement in my abdomen is driving me crazy. Please anyone out there know what cause this please let me know I now know I am not the only one
