Why does my tummy feel like it’s vibrating?

My bump keeps feeling like it’s vibrating or pulsating. It’s not visible from the outside but can feel it quite deep inside. It doesn’t feel like a kick or roll. Has anyone else had this? I don’t think it’s hiccups and it doesn’t feel rhythmic.

Pregnancy after C-section

How soon after a C-section is it safe to get pregnant again? NHS seems to suggest 18 months but that seems like a long time if I want babies close together.. Any experience please? How did the birth go after? Another C or VBAC? Any issues with placenta or similar? Thank you!
