i get that when i get very anxious.. when i read what you posted first thing that popped in my head sounds to me like my anxiety attacks i have sometimes.. but like was sad above would make sure its not something more serious but definitely try not to get worked up about it.. but maybe try to think if when it happened were u upset about anything all wired up about anything in perticular might help you AND your doctor figure out whats going on..

Best of luck to you :)

I also get shaking because of anxiety and it can also be caused by a combination of anxiety and hunger and/or cold temperature.  I am 17 weeks pregnant and keep trying to find out if the shaking is okay for the baby...  anyone know?

Low blood pressure can do that to you. Best to get it checked out

I'd call the doctor or go to an ER...it could be anything causing these including a neurological misfire, brain tumor, tremors caused by a number of things...Get yourself checked!!!  Better safe than sorry!  I am not familiar with pregnancy related issues having to do with the convulsions but Kstarr made some good points so I hope you get seen ASAP and post back to us!

I'm sure everyone else here will probably agree that you need to talk to your doctor about this. Sorry that I can't be of any more help, I have no info on this nor have  I experienced it, but this could be an indication of a problem.

--actually I take that back I looked it up for you and what popped up was gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia and even eclampsia, which is very serious. You probably shouldn't have waited until your third time experiencing this to bring it up, I would call your doctor as soon as you're able and tell him/her that this happened and let them run some tests on you.

Look up "eclampsia" and "eclamptic convulsions"  it could possibly be something less serious, but better safe than sorry!
