A member asked:

I had a c-section 14 months ago since then i have been feeling flutters and movement in my lower abdomen and occasional spasms. what causes this?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Are you preg? : Have you done a pregnancy test to see if you're pregnant again? Movement in the abdomen makes me think this is a possibility. If your pregnancy test is negative then the movement is likely gas.
