While your baby’s nervous system is developing, your baby might experience nervous spasms which cause their muscles to move involuntarily. Studies suggest that this is perfectly normal and should be a reason to worry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a medical condition<\/a> that causes the uterus to jolt or contract. This causes the baby to be uncomfortable hence, the unusual movement. Many times this experience could be painful and it could force an expecting mum to think there’s something wrong with the baby which is usually not the case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When babies get their feet or hands entangled in the umbilical cord they move in unexpected ways to get the cord off of them.

Causing you to feel twitch-like sensations and leaving you to wonder why your baby is making so many movements all at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you know there are some foods you eat that could make your baby significantly active in the womb?
