Now and for the past few days Ive been feeling this weird unpainful movement in my abdomen area.I haven't got my period yet but if its pregnancy than I haven't had any of the signs no nausea/vomiting, headaches,backaches,cravings,moodiness,no frequent urination,no fatigue, no tenderness. Nothing. I usually feel this movement when I'm sitting or laying down.I have been stressed out the past few days could that have contributed.What else could it be?:confused:

With being pregnant, if you were, all those symptoms you name most likely you wouldn't feel yet! Most woman doesn't get those till two to three months in. Plus, some woman never do! What it sounds like is just bowel movements. Stress can cause problems in your intestines. Do you have gas? How does your stool come out? If you're really concerned I would say to go see a doctor. Plus, stress is the number one thing that causes late periods.

If you are pregnant quickening won't happen until around the 16th week of pregnancy (this varies from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy).

Most likely you are feeling what is called perastalysis, which is just the regular movements of the digestive system.

If you haven't gotten your period yet, and you are not late, this would not be quickening.
