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?
-
I had that too but I had no idea what was happening!
-
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 By the time the third trimester rolled around they'd largely been replaced by big rolling and kicking.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!
-
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
-
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.
-
I think they're hiccups. I felt really quick flutters, and the midwife said that's what they were.
-
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!
-
I had them too (different from hiccups - almost felt like the baby was violently shivering in there). I've always wondered what they are!
-
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!
-
@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.
-
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!
-
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.
-
Yes! Felt like really quick flutters. Still have no idea what those are! I had them during both pregnancies.
