A member asked:

I'm 36 weeks pregnant and feel vibrations/twitches in my stomach. is this normal? do babies have seizures inutero??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely hiccups: Some have speculated that the close position of the babies stomach to the diaphragm causes a rubbing that triggers the hiccups.This is common & generally continues on through the first months after birth. Once the child grows longer & the stomach can drop away from the diaphragm the frequency declines. It bothers mom's more than the baby.Not a seizure!
