Pulsing/vibrating below breastbone?

Question

I'll be 37w tomorrow and the past few days I've felt a rapid pulsing or vibration on my right side, at my bra line near my rib cage. It's happened a few times in past weeks but has definitely gotten more frequent.

It's not hiccups (too fast and high up) and is usually when I'm laying down or taking a bath. I can usually get it to stop by getting up and walking around.

Anyone else experience this and find out what causes it?

Answer

I've had it too. I asked the doctor at my last appointment and he said a muscle spasm in the uterus. He described it as being similar to an eye twitch. Is that what it feels like? And it's off and on for a day or two?

Answer

Sometime I will watch my stomach and can actually see her breathing!! It's a rapid movement! Sooooooo neat! And I confirmed it with my doc and he said most def it is her practicing her breathing ☺️☺️

Answer

Could be practice breathing. They breath quite rapidly and it can feel like a vibrating sensation.
