Felt like really quick flutters. Still have no idea what those are! I had them during both pregnancies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-movements-that-feel-like-shaking#post-724194 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 07:13:42 +0000 Sammyfab 724194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mini earthquakes!!! I felt them all the time when I was pregnant. When my LO was born I figured out that they were his arms when he was sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-movements-that-feel-like-shaking#post-724172 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 07:01:56 +0000 shopaholic 724172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! Used to freak me out because I didn't think there was any way the baby could kick so fast! They were like tremors or seizures I thought too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-movements-that-feel-like-shaking#post-724121 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 06:26:10 +0000 pastemoo 724121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yourekindapretty: I used to get that, too. I think there's a pressure point on the foot that makes the leg shake because it used to happen when he was a newborn as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-movements-that-feel-like-shaking#post-724048 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 02:58:59 +0000 Mrs. Owl 724048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm so glad to know i'm not the only one who has felt these kinds of movements! i just recently figured out hiccups (like @jojogirl said, totally different feeling, but until i realized what they were, they freaked me out, too), but sometimes i feel those shuddering/shaking movements and i get scared, thinking she's having some sort of seizure or spasm. such a relief to know that other mommas who felt this had perfectly healthy babies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-movements-that-feel-like-shaking#post-690467 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 08:32:12 +0000 JoJoGirl 690467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had them too (different from hiccups - almost felt like the baby was violently shivering in there). I've always wondered what they are! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-movements-that-feel-like-shaking#post-690434 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 08:25:42 +0000 sorrycharlie 690434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha I also remember those. they were entirely different than hiccups at least for me! the hiccups were rhythmic and distinct..those weird shaking movements felt like the baby was literally vibrating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-movements-that-feel-like-shaking#post-690146 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 06:09:25 +0000 MegWag 690146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they're hiccups. I felt really quick flutters, and the midwife said that's what they were. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-movements-that-feel-like-shaking#post-690145 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 06:06:45 +0000 SleepyMonkey 690145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i had them too - i felt them up near my ribs. i googled and googled, and couldn't find anything. LO was perfectly healthy when she was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-movements-that-feel-like-shaking#post-690046 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 01:53:39 +0000 SugarplumsMom 690046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember those! It used to freak me out and I was Googling seizures too! But rest assured, DD came out pink, screaming, and healthy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-movements-that-feel-like-shaking#post-690011 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 00:06:41 +0000 ladyfingers 690011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had these! I googled "fetal seizures" all the time lol. By the time the third trimester rolled around they'd largely been replaced by big rolling and kicking. I have no idea what was going on on there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-movements-that-feel-like-shaking#post-690005 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 23:51:16 +0000 cyndistar3 690005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had that too but I had no idea what was happening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fetal-movements-that-feel-like-shaking#post-689963 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 23:12:43 +0000 yourekindapretty 689963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Starting around 26 weeks I started to feel fetal movements that sometimes felt like shaking or tremors. I'm 29 weeks now and I felt them again today. Any one else have this? Is it normal? </p>
