What Causes Fluttering Movements In Abdomen After A Child Birth?

intestinal movement feels like baby kicks I had a baby 6 months ago, and have since felt as if my intestines have not made it back to the right spot... I feel like every once in a while I get a "fluttery" feeling as if my baby is moving, however my husband and I have not had sex very often since our daughter being born, I also have a Mirena IUD installed.

OBGYN,  's  Response
Hello,
Until about six weeks after the child birth, the uterus contracts and retracts as it involutes and these can be felt as spams. Bowel movement can often be felt if the abdomen is thin as rumbling sensation. Apart from this, fluttering movements are not seen unless there is a pregnancy. Though you have infrequent intercourse now-a-days, it would be better if you have a specialist opinion in person and exclude/confirm pregnancy and also get a trans-vaginal/pelvic sonogram to clarify the situation. Hope this helps.
