Baby shaking/twitching movements

[Np15]

hi.. i am 30 weeks and 5 days pregnant and for the past few days/week i have felt as though the baby is shaking rapidly or like a vibrating movement like a twinge.. it last a few seconds and goes. it's getting me really worried now, but in-between baby has been kicking. has anyone else experienced this or know what it could be?.. any advice would be great, i've obviously googled it and it's one extreme to the other harmless or go into a&e. i don't know if it's hiccups or not as i don't know what they also feel like. thanks

Hey! Yeah I get this (I'm 32wks). I had it with my son as well. It's an odd feeling ... A bit like having a bee in your belly for a couple of seconds?

I'd say maybe hiccups ? I started getting it in the 3rd trimester and was really worried at first thought baby was having a seizure or something till I figured out it was hiccups.

If you're concerned then I would discuss with your midwife.

Both of my babies had hiccups a lot when in the womb, and it felt just like a jerk movement every 5 seconds or so. Didn't feel like vibrations.

I get this too! The best I can explain it is it feels like she is twerking inside me at times 😂 definitely not hiccups, this is my 2nd and feels very different from hiccups with 1st.

I often felt jerky movements and once my baby was born he frequently did the startle reflex where he jerks his arms so I wondered if that's what he was doing in the womb.

I had this last time! Its the weirdest feeling and i really didnt think it was hiccups as it wasnt intermittent shakes, it would start and continue solidly for a few minutes. Felt exactly like she was vibrating. My partner joked that she was charging up. She turned out fine and the midwife was totally unconcerned so dont worry!
