hey ladies,

quick (and may sound silly) question but for the past few weeks my little man has been quite active.

especially on my left hand side low down i feel a movement and it goes on for quite a while its like a slow pulse in my belly not faint but not as noticable as some of his movements, is this normal? does anyone know what that might be?

It's like a throbbing inside. Almost the same kind of feeling as when a vein throbs in your leg or something or you get that annoying eyelid twitch!! Mine last between 5 and 10mins each time and some days now it's like 3 times a day. If it is that you may notice them more now :-) I get most of mine now if I'm really hungry then eat a bit quick haha. Baby clearly reacts. :-) x

yeah a throbbing thats a good way of explaining it. Not painful though. Heard about hiccups but didnt think it would be like that as they are constant for about 10 minutes

Yh not painful at all. The babies can really go to town with it so 10 mins is often their standard for me x

Sounds like hiccups as they practice swallowing amniotic fluid. It feels bizarre and I find it quite disturbing at times especially when like you say it goes in for 10 mins. Have you noticed it more around your meal times?? X

erm cant say they have any patterns to them, i just assumed they would be like our hiccups but these are constant one after another for about 10 minutes, but i suppose it is getting near to lunch time

I'd say that's hic ups for sure! :o) x

i wasnt overly worried as to me its a movement from him but im glad everybody seems to be agreeing on that is what it is, he's stopped again now

x x x

I seem to get them more at night so maybe he reacts to something I have eaten or drunk and as its mainly dairy so he obv likes moo moo juice like his mummy lol x

Sounds like hiccups ;) I had it all the time in third trimester. My LO is now 4 weeks and the downside is that she is still suffering from it about 4 times a day! But hey, it is cute when they are inside ;)
