3rd Trimester

Odd baby movement: shivers and tremors

I keep getting this feeling that the baby is shivering or shaking quickly like a tremor. It lasts no more than 5 seconds and usually just in one spot. It happens more when I lay on my side. I thought it could just be her stretching since I have that tremor when I stretch. I also heard it could be the baby's reflexes getting practice but it doesn't feel like that. Its a very rapid shake. Its such a weird sensation I was curious if anyone else gets this.

Re: Odd baby movement: shivers and tremors

  • Yes, I had that happen with DS and DD. You'll also see newborns shake like that outside the womb at times too. It's nothing odd or scary, just strangely "normal."

  • FTM here and That happens to me too. It kinda reminds me of when a puppy or kitty is sleeping and they twitch lol I don't feel so worried about it though I'm sure it's normal :)

  • I felt this too a few weeks back- thank god I'm not alone! It almost felt like baby was having some sort of fit in my tummy?! Like you, it only lasts about 5 seconds - sounds as if it is normal PHEW x
  • Yup I've felt that too. It's like there's a vibrating baby in there for 5 or more seconds, strange feeling!!!
  • Yep, it's completely normal. I've had it with both pregnancies.
