Baby movements - shaking in womb?

[beckyyl]

Hi all

Silly question (I have text my midwife waiting for her to get back) but I've noticed the last week or so that baby is having shaking episodes once or twice a day.

They are definitely not hiccups, kicks or rolls it's a full on shaking episode which makes my whole belly shake for 3-5 seconds. It's like a seizure is the only way I can accurately describe it.

Never experienced this with my first, anyone experienced this or know if it's normal or not?? Almost 38 weeks with second baby x

@beckyyl congratulations! Hope you are both doing well! Xxxx 💐

Congratulations.

Omg that's great news!! Fantastic and congratulations!!!

Congratulations!!

Congratulations OP

So nice to see a thread like this from beginning to such a positive end. Congratulations!
I'm going to take this as a reminder that there are no silly questions!

Congratulations OP! Xxx

Just wanted to come on and say that I had the quick shakey movements too with my first pregnancy. Turns out I had gestational diabetes (but unfortunately it went undiagnosed and she was born HUGE!) but all was ok and she’s a healthy 5 year old now. Have you been tested for diabetes?

Sorry just seen your update!
Huge congratulations to you! Glad all was ok x

Congratulations! So happy to hear you're both ok. Enjoy the newborn cuddles.

Congratulations! Glad he arrived safe and sound 💖 x

Assuming you are not in the UK, if you are there's some dodgy care going on! Anyway, glad all is well and enjoy your baby!

Congratulations 🥳

Congratulations! What lovely news!

Congratulations 💐

Just found this thread and wanted to say firstly congratulations on your baby’s safe arrival and secondly what an amazing community of women on here. So glad they advised you to go in and that you’re both safe xx

Congratulations op, so happy for you and the safe arrival of your baby. All the best

Congratulations! I'm so happy. You've been playing on my mind xx

Congratulations!

Thank you so much everyone! We've just arrived home. I'm so thankful for being told to get checked out I felt SO silly. Never expected to go in on Monday and not return home without baby. Thank you for all your kind words you're all so lovely xxx
