Baby spasms

Lately I have been occasionally feeling LO having what feel like short spasm episodes -- like rapid spasmy movement for a few seconds, then it stops.

I don't remember feeling this with DD.

Anyone else?

Me! I felt that this morning after I got up in the middle of the night to pee. I don't know what it is. I'm going to ask my doctor about it. I've had a good pregnancy so far and all tests have come back fine.

I had this maybe a monthormaybe two months ago and looked into it (I was worried that she was having a seizure!) from what I could find its not actually the baby but the uterus that is spasming and it supposed to be totally normal.  That's just what I've read -- of course you could be feeling something different so it never hurts to ask the doc.

I felt this and my OB said that is was the baby either shaking himself free from being stuck in a certain position or it could have something to do with his nervous system developing but that it was normal and nothing to worry about,

I never had it with my first two pregnancies but I've been experiencing it a lot lately with this pregnancy.  Not quite sure what it is...but it seems pretty common.

I've had it as well as a few times.  It feels almost like the baby got startled.  My doc said it was nothing to worry about unless it seemed to be something that happened for long periods of time or very frequently, but that has not be the case for me.

Awe makes sense! And I too thought maybe baby was having a seizure! Sounds like it is common though.

    Me, too. It seems to happen more when I lay on my side to sleep at night. Sometimes it feels like s/he is suddenly stretching out arms and legs at the same time and shaking. Like... a dance move or something. It's weird.

      no, these are not baby hiccups
      the hiccups are consistent and feel like a muscle twitch that lasts a minute or more for me anyway
      i also get these weird baby spasms though. its like a tiny rattling earthquake in my tummy
