Baby shaking

This is a hard one because I know its hard to describe a feeling but I feel my baby shaking.  I'm 29 weeks.  He is really active and all my tests have been great and measurements are always exactly on target.  But he has been either moving really frantically for a few seconds or shaking.  It's not cold its spring here so the weather is 30 degree C today don't know what that is in (spelling?)farinheight.  I'm just worried could it be seizures.....Can babies have seizures in the womb?  It doesn't happen often and only lasts a few seconds.  Anyone else experience this?

I've seen many pregnant women ask this question and I believe it's pretty common.
My son was the same way and I think what he was doing was pushing his feet off and almost "jumping". I
f it's quite frantic and you are very worried and don't have a good feeling about it, by all means visit an ER or someone to get your baby checked out. You never know and a mother's intuition is usually pretty good!

Hiya, could it be hiccups?? Hiccups are REALLY common and my baby got them at least twice a day from about 20-something weeks. Just a thought :-)

I would mention it to your midwife/doctor on your next antenatal visit or if its really bothering you make an app with your gp and talk to them about your concerns
