Am I NUTS?????????

OK this is probably going to sound like I am Nutty but why do I feel like I am feeling flutters?  

I was at Mardi Gras for the parade and I was jumping up and down and going crazy to get beads from the floats. Well we had a min or two where it was quiet and I just was standing there leaning aginist the blockade and all the sudden I felt like 3-4 little flutters and I know for a fact it was not gas related.

After going to TGI Fridays and eating a steak and mashed potatos I began having some tummy cramping and felt really neauseas. I know that even if I am pregnant I would not be able to feel movement this early, thats why I am concerned.

I missed 2 pills in my pack when I was between days 7-14 in my cycle and I bled a bit for a week and a half but it was super light the whole time like I never even filled a whole pad a day ( guessing) I was due for actual AF last Sunday and it is the Sunday in which I am suppose to start my new pack and still no AF...........

What is going on. Did my body take the week of light bleeding as a peroid or do you think I could be. I did post about this before this month but I am concerned that I am having these feelings....

Thanks ladies

Missing pills can definitely effect your cycle but can also result in pregnancy - the only way to find out what is happening in your case is to take a test.

In order for flutters to be pregnancy-related, you would need to be closer to be near the end of your 1st trimester or in the 2nd trimester which would not be the case if you got pregnant this last cycle.

Good luck.

I agree with ziggysgrl!

My husband is done in New Orleans. Our church does a missions trip down there every year and has for the past 25 years. If you go to Cafe Du Monde, you might see a face-painting group that paints for free- those are people from my husband's group. My husband doesn't do the face-painting though. He's a crazy guy with a pink mohawk so if you see him, tell him you know his wife! LOL!

here is the thing with feeling "flutters".....you know how everyone says that your first baby movements feel like gas?  Well, you don;t realize how true this is until you are pregnant.  Have you have your first baby, you know just how much baby movement feels like gas bubbles, so when you do get those gas bubbles(when your not pregnant)...it feels like a baby moving. It happens to me all the time.  Your just more aware of how the 2 feelings are so simliar now that you have gone through having a baby.

I get "flutters" all the time. I've noticed that its usually like a day or two after I work out or go dancing or something. I'm positive I am not pregnant but it always makes me have that iffy feeling as well. Perhaps the jumping caused it.
