Hi, I have what seems to be Pelvic fluttering and it feels like mild contractions. Very annoying!! My breast are sore and tender. I have not had a full period yet this month only one small clot I am 49 years old, 3 c-sections (3 kids) and my tubes are tied. First time having these symptoms since pregnancy. What could this be?

You should not presume that you are pregnant.
Your tubes have been tied. So it is most unlikely that you are pregnant as the sucess rate of tubal ligation is more than 99%.
You have missed your period - or had very little spotting. At this age of 49 years, it is most likely because you are approaching your menopause. Initially, there is irregularity of periods before you actually caese to have menses due to menopause. When you do not get the menses for 6 months at this age, be sure that you have attained menopause.
During menopausal phase, there are many vague symptoms like flatulence, heartburn, depression, hot flushes, etc. Not that all of them will be present every time.
I feel your fluttering could be due to flatulence.
I would advise you to get checked from Gynae doctor to rule out any prolapse of the reproductory organs or the rectum(Slipping down the these organs in or through the vagina) . This also can give rise to fluttering in the pelvic area. If it is there, then depending upon the extent, you may need pelvic physiotherapy, some support or surgery.
