Could be braxton hicks - I got a lot of that at the bottom and round the sides. If you are concerned about the no movement, ring your local labour ward and have a chat with someone as they may advise you to go in and be monitored and checked out.

I take it that the twitches aren't painful?Could the sudden twitches be your baby hiccuping?
I felt this with both my pregnancy's .
If you have been busy today you may not have noticed the baby moving ,lie down and relax .
The period type pains could just be the ligaments stretching but i would say if they get worse or you are still worried see your midwife .

Oh yes CountToTen it could be braxton hicks!
I never feel them so i never think of them.
Mears is a midwife i think could you shout for her?
