: Do you observe any associated muscle twitching? If not, these mild sensations could be due to irritable superficial nerves in the upper abdominal muscles &amp; have nothing to do with gastrointestinal structures or your pregnancy. Should these sensations continue or worsen, have your MD or obstetrician examine and advise you.
