I'm 35 weeks pregnant and my baby does very jerky, rapid movements. is this a sign of a neurological problem? i read online that it can be.

Doubt it: Kid is likely just having hiccups periodically.This is common and involves a patterned contraction of the breathing muscle. These babies often do it after birth for several weeks then grow out of it.
