Seizures in utero? Really scared...

I'm 32w 1d and about 30 min ago I felt like what I would describe as my baby having a seizure in the womb. This is my 4th pregnancy & I NEVER had this feeling with my others. I also felt this same feeling about a week ago, but dismissed the concern, telling myself I was over reacting. The shaking/trembling was a constant shaking that lasted approx 10 secs (felt like ALOT longer at the time). But I started looking it up online and got really scared. Has anyone else had this experience? I go to dr Monday and also have an ultrasound already scheduled for the same time.

    By the way, my other 3 children are from my first marraige, this is my new husband and my first child together. He does have 3 kids with his ex, and none of our other kids have any history of any seizures.

    And I know it WAS NOT hiccups or my baby being 'overactive'. (just saying)

    Ive never heard of it but i would call my doctor and describe it to him.

    @angelsmommy , you think I should call now or just tell him @ my appointment? I was kinda waiting to see if it happened again. Since then, she has been moving like normal. A part of me is scared to call because i dont want to find something wrong. So far all u/s & tests have been normal.

    @babygirl716 I have had it before but didn't think of it as a seizure feeling at the time, but that is exactly what it felt like! Here is a link that describes what it could be: http://www.babycenter.com/400_seizures-in-utero_2650611_240.bc. It seems like you are in the same range as these ladies who were experiencing it as well. I am 32w 5d today.

    (This is my first time posting so I hope I tagged that right)

    I would go ahead and call better safe than sorry just tell them you were concerned and see what they say. Never hurts to ask.

    Yeah it wouldn't hurt to ask your doctor. I only had it once or twice maybe that I remember. Let us know what you find out!
