    Abnormal Fetal Movement?

    Over the last couple of weeks I've noticed, and been woken up in the night by, weird baby movements that i really don't remember having with Evie.
    I know it sounds really terrible but it feels like the baby is "convulsing", it probably lasts for around 5-10 seconds and it just feels so violent. The movements are so all over the place - which makes me think it's a whole body thing not just kicking legs/arms.
    Any ideas? Anyone else had anything like this?

    yeah I have that. Sorta feels like they are having a fit or something - and mine goes on one side and then the other.

    I'm not too worried about it, sorta put it down to bubs trying to get into a better position and whacking some liquid away or something.. lol

    Just letting you know you aren't the only one.

    I posted this question my last bub (last year ) and i was told not to worry that it is normal - it freaked the hell out of me when it happened i thought he was having some kind of fit... but my little man is healthy as...i was told it was the nervous system aswell - its normal hun....
