odd fetal movements

Hi there i have a question.. HAve posted this some where but i have no idea where that i need to ask someone i and 25 weeks pregnant and 1 day and for the past week or so i have felt little shivering movement like seizure movement inside,can last up to 2-3 minutes also and at any time of the day. Baby's daddy also suffers from epilepsy and it kinda just makes me think or have in the back of my mind could this mean this baby is going to end up with the same, or am i just imagining it ,  me this is baby number 4 and i have never felt these movement b4 with any of my other children, i dont go and see my MW till the 23rd of September which will make me about 27-28 weeks pregnant,

It could be your uterus spasming. Your uterus can have spasms just like your other muscles. It won't hurt the baby at all but I can see how it would be alarming.

Hi, I know exactly what your talking about and yes you can tell the difference between the scary spasm movements and hiccups, this is my 5th pregnancy i am 36 weeks never felt this with my other daughters, i asked my MW and she didn't seem concerned she just said bub was highly active at that time but seriously to me after growing up with 2 epileptic parents bubs movements bring it to my mind it's having a seizure, if i find any info or anyone else with this i shall let you know.

Isabella had plenty of hiccups.... i always felt them... and even when she was born, she hiccuped a lot, for some reason.

Sounds like hiccups to me, totally normal, but ask your MW about the seizures, I'm not sure if babies can have them before they're born or not.
