Erratic Fetal Movements

Tonight I've been a bit confused by my fetal movements. I'm a second time mom and do not remember this happening last time. I can tell the difference between the baby rolling over, punching/kicking, and hiccups.

But this is something totally different. It's like the baby is practising karate at lightening speed. Makes me paranoid about seizures or some sort of struggle. Anyone else notice this before? I googled it and read some scary stories and had to stop.

I'm going to go to sleep and pay attention to movement tomorrow. If I don't notice as much movement I'll call the doctor. I just wanted to post incase a few of you have felt this before.

Thanks!

Re: Erratic Fetal Movements

  • I get those all the time. Almost like when you stretch and your arms do a quiver/shake? I picture him just stretching out a bit and doing that. Their nervous system I developing right now, so I would assume it is something to do with that milestone. Had it all my pregnancies and my two toddlers are/were fine :)

  • My little guy does the same thing at times. :) My doctor says he is healthy and on track. If your super concerned just call your midwife or nurse. But I think your baby is fine!
  • I'm a FTM, but my little guy is doing the same thing. I have nothing to compare it to but assume it is normal. Some babies are probably just more active than others. My MIL said she doesn't remember DH moving much (he's pretty easy going and laid back). If fetal movement is any indication, I think our son is going to take after my family.
