jerky movements?

[willow5]

This morning it was so regular, almost like marching. It was really weird.

That could've been hiccups.

Oh! I never thought of hiccups. How funny.

My first 2 bubs got hiccups all the time specially in the third tri very common

Thanks for the reassurance guys
I was going to say it feels almost like she's having a fit in there but i was scared that would sound really bad
its all just so new to me.. and all so very scary!!

Stevie I get exactly the same thing and it is so weird. I'm glad you put that post up as i was starting to wonder if it was normal!

I find I used to get a lot of little kicks, punches, pokes etc but in the last week or two the movements have definitely changed. I tend to just 'feel' her more, like I can feel her pressed against my tummy as I'm carrying all out front and I feel her squirming and rolling and generally just lulling around in there. But then all of a sudden she just goes nuts with these crazy jerky movements that seem to shake my bump around. It's quite funny! But thankfully it sounds like it is totally normal!

Yes I get those crazy jerky movements too, and have done so with previous two pregnancies as well. I wish I had a belly window so I could see the manoevres. Feels very weird doesn't it?

I get that too, not to worry. sometimes it really scares me but

Bubs movements are getting that strange that it feels like he/she is scraping her finger nails along my insides trying to get out, a bit like on alien when the guts explode open and the alien comes out lol

I find that if i lay on my side, ut half propped up, i get it very bad, a very weird scraping feeling, so i try to go over onto my back, but keep my back and neck propped up with a pillow
