Hi Keira,

I know just what you are talking about and it scared the heck out of me too. I could tell it was completely different to hiccups as it was more her limbs shooting out and really jolty. Once she was born we noticed that she was still doing them and had her checked out by the midwife and the paed and she is fine. She is now four months and they have completely stopped, she still jolts a lot like the startle reflex and thus she is lying beside me now as she keeps waking herself up but in our case they aren't seisures.

We were advised to video tape them if they continued at home but by 6wks they had decreased so much it was hard to catch one. Def talk to your dr though to ease your mind
