What was it?????

I went to lay down today and I felt something, almost like a gas bubble. I put my hand there (about 2 inches above my belly button) and I had a knot come up. I felt it go down within seconds. I felt around and couldn't feel anything. What was it? Did I have a gas bubble in my intestines and when I twisted to lay down it just came up or is it a hernia? I have never had this happen before and it freaked me out. It never did hurt and I didn't feel any strains afterwards. I am very concerned about this.

Hi Tara, what you described does sound like a gas bubble. Since there was no pain and it went away immediately, I doubt there is any reason to be concerned. Our intestines aren't quiet and there can be a lot of movement that we usually don't notice. Here is some information about gas, but unless you begin to feel any pain, I honestly don't think this warrants a call/trip to the doctor.
