Baby having strange spasm movements

[dawnliawells]

I have recently noticed my baby having these short spasm movements. I am 35 weeks today and she does them a couple times a day. Almost like a shaking kind of movement that lasts about 4 seconds. Should I be alarmed? Or is this normal movements as she is running out of room?

Thats what i thought. Its kinda feels like the type of movement we would do if we slept in the wrong position and were stretching. Il ask my midwife tomorrow

Doesn't sound like hiccups to me, but my baby definitely does the same type of movement. She's been doing the shutter thing for about a month now though. I was told that it might be stretching? Lol there's no telling. But don't worry about it.

I get those too! At least a few times a day but they've stopped, kind of feels like you're being pushed in the belly. I heard it's because the baby is having less and less room (although I didnt fall for it) but we've checked on our baby and everything is fine.

Nope not hiccups. She gets those a few times a day and they are a complete different movement

Definitely sounds like hiccups. My little one gets them at least a few times a day since 30 weeks

Sounds like the hiccups. Babies get them a lot in the womb.
