spasms?! is this normal?

Question

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and since around 30 weeks I've been feeling spasms inside my belly. not hiccups. but seizure like movements. what is going on? is my baby okay?

Answer

I get those too. It feels like the baby is having a seizure. However, the chances of that are rare. It's either uterus spasms or the baby just moving fast.

Answer

I've been getting those! I think they're just uterine spasms. I don't think they are Braxton Hicks contractions because they're localized to one tiny spot. It's like a vibration that lasts 3 to 5 seconds. That's what mine are like.

Answer

I have this too. I just thought it was the baby jerking around. You know how they shake when they cry? I picture movements like that.

Answer

Could be Braxton Hicks? Mine feel like my belly is tightening. Are you a FTM or have you experienced contractions before?

Answer

I think that could be your baby flipping around/rotating in there. My baby is very active and I feel that too! When you go to your checkup, see if baby is in the right position. Mine keeps changing because of all this flipping...

Answer

I felt spasms too!  It only happened a handful of times but definitely not contractions!  My OB said she had no clue as to what it could be, she never heard of it before.

Answer

I get them at least once every 4 days. Horrible to say but feel like baby is seizuring. I'm not worried thou. Your body does so many weird things during pregnancy.
