I am 39 weeks and feeling the same thing!! i know its not hiccups the spasms or whatever they are are to quick and feel nothing like her hiccups! i thought it might be seizures!!! its scary but i want to stay positive but hearing that so many women are feeling the same thing makes me feel like its normal! thank you!!!

i get that and for me its the hiccups it feels like a tapping sensation for me! i didn't beleive it was hiccups at first but i know it is now

This post is 4 years old, but yea sounds like hiccups.

Sounds like the hiccups....both DD and DS had hiccups in the womb.

I'm skeptical about it being hiccups, I'm 28 weeks pregnant with my second baby and also experience the "vibrating" movements that do feel like seizures. I did ask my doctor and she also said it could be hiccups but she said that if they continue and last longer than a minute then she would do an ultrasound just to make sure. But I felt better knowing that it happens to many women!

Happened to me with my last DD. Doc said it was fine. Felt like her shaking or vibrating for a few seconds at a time. My OB said its just the baby moving in tight quarters. Funny thing was, she did it after she was born for the first week, and then never again. It wasnt a seizure, and looked more like a shiver afterwards. Don't worry!

I asked my doctor about that the other day when I was in, and my baby started doing it. He said they are just hiccups. The baby is practicing breathing and get fluid in their lungs, and they get the hiccups. Sometimes pretty bad.
