Is there something wrong with my baby if I feel sudden jerky movements?


Jerky movements may be due to baby's hiccups; these hiccups can start as early as 2 months after conception. The strength and length of hiccups is surprising to some mothers. Some hiccupping sessions can last 30 minutes or longer. The reason for hiccups is debatable but one theory suggests that hiccupping may help baby develop some of the motor skills a baby will need for nursing and swallowing after birth.
