stomach twitching at 8 weeks pregnant?

This isn't my first pregnancy, so i understand that it's not the baby moving, since you don't feel that until in the second trimester. But at times I have twitching near my ribs, or down where the uterus is. Does anyone know what this is? It's not the same as having gas, you can look down at my stomach and actually see the twitching just like it'd look if it were the baby.

    I am 8 weeks and I have had the same thing but just in my uterus. I know its not the baby but it is a weird feeling. I just assumed it was from my uterus stretching.

  • I'm 8 weeks pergnant too and sometimes I get these weird gas feeling symptom on my uterus and I think it's like something happening on my ovaries maybe just they body getting used to this sudden change.

    Actually it could be possible. Especially since you are on your 3rd pregnancy, since your abdominal walls are not as hard, strong can't find the word haha. You are more likely to feel your baby move earlier verses some who is on their first pregnancy. Such as myself I'm 26wks, 27wks tomorrow and I didn't feel my baby until I was around 18 weeks. Now she won't stop moving haha, but I really wouldn't be surprised if you are already feeling your baby =] Best of luck!
