shivering in the womb

[Heikeli]

Hello,
I feel since maybe 3 month sometimes a shivering / vibraion of the baby in the womb ( I am now 39 weeks pregnant). It does not last long - just some seconds. It is not regular - maybe once in a week or two weeks. I still had it until last week...
I asked my Doc - he doesn't know what I am talking about...
Has anyone here experienced this and know a reason why?
Thanks.
Heike

hi,


I thnk I know what you mean - it's happening to me quite often (I am now 35 weeks) - say once a day? : ) I think it's normal or at least I don't worry about it as I had it when I was pregnant with my first! Hope that helps.....

Thanks it is nice to have some confirmation...I was thinking about seizures, but found it weird and unusal....I am not really worried but you never know...

I'm 35 weeks pregnant, and I'm also experiencing the same thing! It feels like my baby is "vibrating" in my tummy. My sis-in-law also experienced this so I think it's normal.

maybe its braxton hicks contractions......

 

[Heikeli]

no, that is a tightening of the belly/womb. No shivering...

It happens to me as well. From the research i've done on internet, it is normal.

hiccups? mine used to get them 20X per day!

 

[Heikeli]

No - I know how hick ups feels...He gots them 1-2 per day (20 times seems a lot?!)...

my 7 m old daughter still gets them about 4 times per day... as her brother gets older, he's getting them less and less (he's 2y 7m)

The shivering or the hick ups? I know the hick ups are normal...

I get them too and it was disturbing for me too.

But it seems normal, could it be yawning or stretching motions?
