What is it.

Ok, There was a q asked a while ago in regards to the pulse you can see in your tummy due to the artery that runs down your spine and and legs etc. I can't find it but was wanting to know if it is more prominent when you are pregnant or not. I also swear I can feel a baby moving around and its not just little kicks but like the full on rolling motion. Preg test turned up neg. What do you all think this could be? I am also really wanting to eat alot more red meat than normal and I can't really stad it all that much. I don't want to go to the doctor because I am scared he will think I am an idiot. Hence the reason I am also going anon. Sorry guys.

Go to a doctor.

1. If you are pregnant, it's better to find out about it sooner than later.

2. If you are craving red meat, you could be low in iron. If this gets out of control it could lead to anemia.

3. If you are not pregnant, you might want to find out what those movements that you can feel are. You don't want to find out too late that you have a bowel problem or a severe case of many enormous tapeworms!

If you are pregnant, and you can feel full movements, you'd have to be at least 20 weeks pregnant. When was your last period?

As for the artery thing, pregnancy is more inclined to hide it, particularly in the later stages. Normally the only people that can see or even feel it easily are quite skinny. If you can't find it don't worry about it - unless you can't find the pulse in your carotid artery (the one in your neck) cause that could be a good sign that you're dead.

Maybe it's your body telling you that you need to eat more red meat. Sometimes we crave for things that our body needs... maybe in this case it's iron and protein or something? Go on and have a good steak.

Is it possible that the pregnancy test was incorrect? Alternatively, sometimes people experience kind of like a fake or ghost pregnancy symptoms...

Sometimes we crave things when our system is low in certain nutrients eg, meat for iron etc.

I would go to the Drs any way and do bloods to find out for sure on the pregnancy query

If you feel pregnant and are starting to look it, then you should go to the docs.  Sometimes we want something a lot and can cause our bodies to  have a phantom pregnancy just by our way of thinking.

Don't ever think that a doctor is going to think you are silly, they aren't allowed to talk about it to anyone else and they see sillier things all the time.
