muscle spasms?

in 1st Trimester

so just wondering, is anyone else experiencing a lot of muscle spasms in your abdomen area?  I used to get them in my legs when I would stretch in the morning (muscles would start to shake - "muscle spasm" is the only term that is coming to mind to describe it), but ever since pregnancy I get them every morning in my abdomen, pretty much as soon as I move the abdomen muscles will shake for a few seconds.  I also get them randomnly during the day sometimes.  I've even tried to "not do it" but it's completely out of my control, it just happens, & it kinda worries me sometimes.  Last night when I was sitting on the couch my tummy randomly started spasming & it kinda scared me!  I guess I worry if that means baby is "shaking" in there along with my muscles or what.  What do you guys think?

ETA: muscle convulsions might be a better phrase to describe it, I'm not really sure.  It lasts several seconds.

    Muscle spasms are normal.  I've gotten those on occasion.  Your baby is well protected and muscle spasms won't shake them up any more than your daily activity.

    Keep well-hydrated and you won't feel them as much. 

    thank goodness!  I've imagined it feeling like a seizure to baby in there which is why it scared me.  I literally just downed a glass of water after reading that, good idea!
