If it isn't hiccups...

WTF IS IT?! Seriously, it feels like my kid has a cell phone on vibrate in there!!! I was beginning to think it MIGHT be hiccups... but now that I know those are slow, and this is NOT, I'm really curious as to what the heck he's doing in there!

Figure this out for me! I'm going to go shower and I'll check back before going to bed!

    Literally like a cell phone going off, but on vibrate. Really really quick and only for a min or two, but it's been happening more and more lately. Driving me nuts.

    well I cant speak for her, but I think I get the same feeling and I wonder what the heck she's doing in there too!

    for me it's like a butt bump, butt bump, butt bump .... but much faster than hiccups.

    haha, best way I can describe it.?

    I had the same thing to like a week ago my belly was just popping every two- three seconds same strength for about 10 minutes then just stopped out of no where.

    I think I know what you mean - sort of like a bunch of quick movements that lasts for a few seconds?  I have no idea what it is...but it feels weird for sure!

    She may have her cell phone on vibrate and not know it.

    The instructor at our class the other night said that people will often mistake hiccups for the baby practicing breathing movements, so maybe thats it.

    I've had that a few times, it's crazy to watch, but I honestly don't know what it is lol...I just go with it. I'm sure he's fine, who has the next Dr. appt? Mine is Tue and I can ask then. Unless someone goes before me?

    Ha! That made me laugh=)

    I noticed this, too, with my second. I even went so far as to ask my doctor if the baby was having seizures in the wombEmbarrassed My doc assured me that wasn't it. Someone mentioned it was the baby getting startled, which makes sense to me. Who knows! I never noticed the same sort of movements outside the womb, so the startling theory seems like the best.

    Haha thanks ladies! I wasn't worried about it at all, but it's definitely just a strange feeling for sure!! I will have to remember to ask about it.

    And some of you are right, it does seem like a seizure or some sort of spastic movement. Crazy little bean!

    Prima- HILARIOUS! I was thinking about it in the shower, and I was like now, maybe he snuck his cell in there when I wasn't looking! Haha. 

    Love it!

    This happened to me just the other night, and I thought the same thing!!  I thought the poor girl was having some kind of seizure for sure!  I finally calmed down after it stopped and she made a couple normal jabs at me.

    Have you guys ever watched a baby sleep, and then get startled...they kind of stretch out their arms and their whole body shakes for a couple seconds?  Me and my sister were talking about this, she says she feels her do it a lot!  I just felt a steady, fast, pulsating movement, too fast for hiccups, but maybe not?
