Baby 'shivering' inside the womb? more odd fetal movement ?'s from me!

[lovethebops]

This may end up sounding really odd, but last night I woke up and was really panicking. I am 28 weeks as of yesterday, and my baby's movement has slowed down slightly in the last few weeks,because she is really growing now. I don't feel as many jerky kicks now, a few, but mostly rolling and her getting under my ribs. I woke up last night, and I was sort of laying on my stomach, but still on my side, and the baby felt like it was shaking inside my belly! (lasted just a few seconds, 2-3, maybe) It was such an odd feeling, and it really started to scare me...It was a slight shivering/shaking movement that reminded me of what one looks like when having a seizure. Mind you, I was half asleep, lol! But I thought to myself, oh no, is is possible to have a seizure in the womb!?! I was so worried something could be wrong, because I have never felt that feeling before w/ my first PG, and this was a first w/ this one! What is going on, could something be wrong in there? What would cause a baby to shake in the womb? I've never felt it before, and I have never heard anyone talk about baby's moving that rapidly in the womb. I am sorry if this sounds completely out there! I swear I am awake now, lol! What do you think it was? My baby is still moving fine this morning, and I havn't felt anymore 'earthquakes' in my belly as of yet..help!~bops

Made me laugh to read all of this--my little guy is doing the same thing on a daily basis (shivering or moving all of his limbs very quickly). I just figured he was throwing a tantrum. He's been quite the personality from the first movements (future MMA fighter, maybe). He seems to do these movements more if A) he has had the hiccups for more than a few seconds, B) his dad has been talking to him and suddenly stops, or C) I am trying to sleep. :) Can't wait to meet him and see what he's been up to!

I have the same feeling at 28 weeks. Until I read this thread, I was really worried something was wrong. Today it happened while I was sitting upright at my desk. It lasted longer than any other shakes I've felt before. It is kind of a scary feeling. It doesn't seem like a little unborn baby could move that fast! I am still going to mention it at my next Dr. appointment, but I feel much better knowing it's a normal thing that happens to many other women.

This vibration scared me to death. I was thinking something might be wrong with my baby. I am so glad to hear that it might only be that the little guy is getting caught up. I am twenty five weeks and it happened for the first time today a few times.

I get the vibration in my right upper abdominal for a few seconds at a time. Makes me feel better knowing it might be normal. I was absolutely freaking out that there was something wrong with my baby.
