Q: Stomach Fluttering
asked by: Kmous3 on May 4th, 2007

I am 18 years old. And I have a history of Endometriosis and was told it would be very difficult for me to get pregnant with my small size on top that. Just figured I should get that out in the open. Recently I have been having this very little faint heartbeat on the left side of my stomach accomponied by this kind of fluttering feeling. Last week I couldn't force myself to be motivated to do anything for 3 days besides sleep. I also have these little bumps around my areolas. I do not notice a change in the color. Although my boyfriend and I are not trying to have a baby, we haven't used any form of birthcontrol. I was just wondering if any of this could be a sign that I am pregnant??

Of course there is a chance that you could be pregnant. If you don't use protection, then you are always running the risk of getting pregnant.

If you and your boyfriend do not want to have a baby, then it would be a good idea to use some type of protection so you dont get pregnant.

Don't think that just because you have a history of endo that it will prevent you from getting pregnant. Endo runs in my family and every girl in my family that has is has multiple children.

If you are late for your period, then take a test. If you are not late yet, then just wait to see if your period comes and if not take a test.

hello,

first of all, you wouldn't be able to feel any sort of fetal movement until at least your 4th month of pregnancy, and even then some woman don't feel it until closer to the 5th month.

i am currently 15-wk's pregnant, with a small build, and have yet to feel any sort of fetal activity. i should be feeling something within the next couple of weeks. i also have not felt the baby's heart beating through my own skin, but i have seen it on an ultrasound.

secondly, the only way to know for sure as to if you are pregnant or not is to take a home pregnancy test, then depending on the result, follow it up with a blood test. a blood test if more accurate than a home pregnancy test. it would also be a good time for you to set up an appointment with a doctor, especially since you have a health problem which could cause infertility. it might put you at a greater sick of miscarrying. i don't know your condition, so i couldn't say exactly.

lastly, if you are pregnant & you are feeling the baby move, then you should seek immediate medical attention. it's not good to let your pregnancy go on that long without proper care. you should be seeing a doctor by the 8th week of pregnancy & continuing to do so until your child is born. prenatal vitamins are a must in the early weeks.

i wish you the best of luck, keep us updated.

Thanks for the advice!!! & also, it's not that we don't want a baby, we just aren't planning for one. It's kind of that, whatever happens, happens thing. I would be more than excited if we were, but I wouldn't be devistated if we aren't.

Also, my period was due yesterday and I still haven't gotten it. I am trying not to freak myself out to much so I am going to wait a little to take a test. If it's not here in a week or so I will take one. I will keep you updated!!

Well, Saturday woke up, af came but then was gone Sunday. My cycle is normally regular and last 5-6 days. Haven't taken a test yet, dont really have the time yet. Im not worried about it so I know that can't be the reason, and for once im actually stress free so thats not it either. If things arent normal in a couple of days I will take a test. But who knows.
