What Causes Moving Feeling In Rib Cage?

I keep feeling like something is moving just below might right rib cage. It feels like it did when i was pregnant and my son would move. I am currently pregnant, but not near that far along to feel it and not that high ip. I am 14so weeks exactly. I have been feeling this randomly for the past few weeks. I have had ultrasouds on the baby and eveything looks normal with it.

Hello,
Fetal kicks can be felt earlier during the later pregnancies than the first one; this is because the perception improves with experience. Since you are 14 weeks already, it is possible that you are able to feel fetal movements. A transient muscle cramp or transmitted movements through the abdominal wall are the two possibilities for your symptom. Please ask your consultant to feel for any lumps in the area. A sonogram may also be taken to know the cause. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
