Can a baby have a seizure in the womb????

ZoeBunny · Nov 24th, 2011, 11:44 AM

Had a very bizarre 'episode' about 3 weeks ago when it felt like the baby was 'vibrating' inside my tummy. Only lasted a matter of seconds but was definitely a very noticable and weird sensation that couldn't have been explained off a movement or hiccups.

I didn't think anything of it until this afternoon when it happened again. Lasted about 20 secs and felt like baby was having a fit

Is this possible???

I have known one lady before who said she felt like her baby was fitting inside and when she had a scan the saw what she was describing and it did look like a seizure. Not sure what the outcome was because i never heard

Ha, I just read another thread on this topic:

If you're worried, can't you give your midwife a call rather than wonder over the weekend whether your baby is having fits?

Hi,I had this when I was pregnant and posted about it too as it scared me so much!

I was told it was just one of those things and not to panic or worry. My baby is now 10 months and perfect so definitely wasn't anything wrong xx

Jury's out on it I guess... spoke to midwife who said to try not to worry. She had heard of it before, but couldn't promise it wasn't something to 'worry about'. Would make notes & request it to go on baby's post-natal checklist.

Thanks for all your responses

There was a thread on this in third trimester.
Quite a lot of women were feeling it and I think the midwife said it was probably the baby practicing breathing. I think all of the women were told not to worry!

Lol, I'm now imagining a whole chorus of babies humming away inside their mummies
