With my first pregnancy my daughter did this too, and i knew it wasn't hiccups i was also freaked out and asked my nurses and doc a d tbey just kind of giggled at me, cause i literally called or went in on everything for her. But they just told me it was nothing to worry about and that the babies muscles can twitch/spasm making it feel seizure like but absolutely nothing to worry about and it could be our own muscles twitching. I haven't had it this pregnancy yet.

Very normal. They are actually little seizures. Their brain gets jolts because its starting to work. their brains grow so rapidly towards the end.

Omg... Then I'm not crazy!  I thought I was the only one with this weird feeling.  I've felt it too & just thought it was the hiccups.  This is my 4th pregnancy & it feels a little diff. than my first 3.  I hope um wrong! ... Maybe its just the position the baby is in!? ... I hope

It's not hiccups I know exactly what she's talking about I have compared it to seizures to. It feels like it can't be right but my doc acts like it's nothing to worry about

My friend says the same thing... it feels like her baby is having a seizure in there or something. She asked her Dr about it and she wasn't concerned at all. She said baby can't have a seizure in there. And is just really active

How long does it last? It could be the baby having hiccups which can last 5-30 minutes sometimes longer but usually stop they shouldn't last any longer then if you were to.have.hiccups.
