Don't know about in utero, but when my best gf's DS was born he had the shakes for almost a week, particularly if he was unwrapped. The paed said it was an underdeveloped nervous system (and the little man was already a week overdue, but no wonder he didn't want to come out - he wasn't ready!). So perhaps it could have happened in utero too. My gf's placenta was at the front so she didn't feel a lot of movement.
Wow thanks for the replies, its nice to know that Im not the only one that has felt this. lol. Its really is an odd feeling.
Persephone - Thats something else I have heard, about the under developed nervous system. its very interesting.
Nattyfred - It must have been your little V's foot shaking that you felt since thats what she did once born. Will be interesting to see with my bub. Thanks too.
jen, marcellus - Its strange isnt it, Ive never felt it with my other pregnancies. Make sure you both let us know if your bubs come out shaking when they are born.
Jennifer - thanks for sharing about your BF's ds, its very interesting reading about others experiences.
Retrogal - I doubt it is bubs rolling over, its more of a quick shake.
Zaki&Amali - Thats exactly what its like, one of those vibrating balls. lol. GL with your bub and it will be interesting to see if your bub comes out shaking something too.
Danielle - LOL, thats funny, its a nice thought having a giggly bub, better than thinking bub will come out sooky. lol
Spoke to the OB today, and she had no idea. lol. Ahhh well.
i had this when i was pregnant and was worried DS was having epileptic seizures inside lol. turns out that when he was born, he would stretch and his little legs or arms would shake and quiver. it was soooo cute! only his chin does it now.
Another thing it could be... When I was pregnant with my DD I use to get the same feeling. Midwife told me she was probably sucking her cord/thumb. Sure enough when she was born she had a suck blister on her hand.
