Im currently 40 + 2 weeks pregnant and for the last 3 weeks have experienced what feels like the baby having spasms (the only way I can describe it), my husband describes it as vibrations. I know that it isnt hiccups as I can define that and it isnt braxton hicks either. It happens mainly when I am lying on either my right or left hand side but has happened a couple of times when I have been sitting up. However, this morning, it has changed from a spasm to what feels like shuddering - which lasts for a few seconds but happens at least 3 or 4 times in a row and then nothing for a while and then happens again. I mentioned the spasms to the midwife on Wed and she has been a mw for 32 years and had never heard of this so sent me to get the baby monitered on a fetal heart moniter and all was fine but these spasms didnt happen during the moniter. Basically Im concerned as I havnt been given a definitive answer as to what it could be and Im quite anxious as it has changed from the spasm which was very quick like a muscle spasm to now being a shuddering motion.
Anxious first time mum to be.
