Belly shaking? Seizures or kicking?

For the last couple days Ive noticed that sometimes my belly will shake for about 10 seconds. I cant remember if I had it with my first pregnancy but it kinda feels like the baby is having seizures. Has anyone ever felt this and is it cause for concern?

Uterine muscles spasms from the muscles being over worked. Seizures are extremely rare in pregnancy. :)

A lot of women experience that; it is not seizing. I definitely know what you're talking about!

I've had that. Where it feels like your belly became babies personal punching bag. In my case it's just her kicking the daylights out of me for a couple of seconds or moving around a lot. You could always bring it up at your next appointment and see what your doctor thinks. (I personally never put much thought into it myself but that's just me)

The first time my baby got hiccups I thought is was my pulse really strong or rhythmic kicking.

Ive wondered if it could be, but usually with her hiccups its steady and light and lasts for a few minutes. What is happening is shaking as if she is stuck or kicking super fast and it lasts for only about 10 seconds then stops and then she moves around like normal. Its weird feeling.
