What Causes Strange Abdominal Movement During Pregnancy?
Hi, since having my 2nd child (he s 7 months) I ve lost all the baby weight but now can visibly feel almost rolling in my intestines. I m guessing it could be gas but was scared it was worms or something. I can put my hand on the outside of my stomach and feel what reminds me of rolling kicks when I was pregnant. Any ideas?

Hello,
You cannot feel worms, if any, moving inside your intestines. When you have become thin, you can easily feel the bowel movement and also the bowel through the abdominal wall. This is the most likely possibility from the description you have given. If you are able to eat normally, have no vomiting, are able to pass stool freely and if there is no bloating, there is no need to worry. It is physiological. Eat well, take adequate rest, take care while lifting weights and get regular follow up. Hope this helps.
