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 have just started experiencing this as well. Feels like a tennis ball sized baby moving just below my left ribs. I am a 46 yr old female and still have all my parts (besides my tonsils lol) what in the world is it?

I am stunned that so many are experiencing this symptom!  I have been feeling movement in my upper right abdomen area, right below the rib cage, for several months.  It feels exactly like a pre-born baby moving around in there, but I am not pregnant.  Tonight I googled "hernia" but that did not match, next I found this website.  Like some others have stated, this seems way too high for cysts in the ovaries, but I have had cysts removed 20+ years ago.  I've also considered worms of some kind.  It is very disturbing because the movement is so noticeable and uncomfortable.  I think I will call the doctor!

I’m experiencing the same exact thing for about a month, went to several dr.,hospitals and even had several CT scans and MRI everything is coming up normal. Blood work is normal as well.  Did you ever find out what is was? Help!! I feel like I’m losing my mind.

I'm so glad it's just not me...ghost babies moving around in there I swear...

I have had the same movements for 9 months now. Doctors can’t find anything. Has anyone thought this to be cryptic pregnancy?

[specialmom]

The only thing Joanacker is that if went on for 9 months, you'd have had the baby.  Pregnancy is something with a beginning and ending.  So, this would be a doubtful thing for it to be.

Has anyone been checked for tape worms?
I have the same feeling but haven't seen the doc.

We have no idea what we are eating anymore, or where it really comes from, for that matter. I was asked if I had been checked for tapeworms earlier today after I explained to my daughter what I was feeling. Wouldn't there be other symptoms if it were tapeworms? If that is what it is, there must be a large one inside of me with all that bumping and movement going on! And it is only coming from one spot under my right rib cage over my liver area, not all my intestines.

You described exactly what I felt this morning. Under my right rib cage over the liver area. Made me paranoid because I drank wine the night before.

It seems way to high...for ovaries. and no discomfort here. Hmmm..

I am 50, do not have a gallbladder, and almost every day and night i feel like there is something pushing, poking or brushing up against me-from the inside right below my left rib. If I were to look in time, I believe if I looked fast enough,  it would be very visible. Reminds me of pregnancy but higher up. Nerve wracking but painless. Help! I feel like an idiot even complaining to my Husband. I had a dream last night that it popped out like the size of a tennis ball and woke up right before it felt like it was coming through. Nice huh?

[Tammy45Marie]

I'm 60 and you described me perfectly. It's the craziest thing.
