Bowel or bladder?: If definitely not pregnant, a woman can feel movement in the lower abdomen or pelvis from bowel activity. The bowel is made up of smooth muscle which helps move digested food along. Sometimes such peristaltic movement is seen on ultrasound and felt by a person. A really full bladder can sometimes feel odd, but that is not typically perceived as movement. An exam by a primary doctor can tell more.
