Hi,
I'm now 23 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby.
This is the 3rd time in a row that I've been pregnant.
I've got gestational diabetes for the 3rd time too... I keep getting shocks in my belly from moving, it feels like an electric shock! Does anyone have an idea what this could be?
Greetings

    I felt that too! Do you feel your baby already kicking?
    With me, those jolts eventually turned into baby fluttering ...

    Yeah, I thought so at first too, but those baby kicks feel totally different; the jolts are really scary, my plate even fell out of my hand.. the doctor said it could be because my uterus is loose due to such quick pregnancies, but didn't give much info. And I'm still not really at ease, especially with the pregnancy sugar that's already acting up from week 13 and hasn't stabilized.. I'm quite worried!

    Oh okay, I don't know, Naomi, but for me, it was around week 19 that I felt it, and after that, it became kicks. I didn't feel those jolts anymore, only the baby kicking

    Hmm, I'm actually a bit scared! I'm already being induced earlier due to the sugar, so I hope my little girl doesn't come any faster because of those shocks !

    I have it too and I'm almost 18 weeks pregnant now. In my previous pregnancy, I had it too, and the midwife told me that the growth of the uterus is... This is my 4th pregnancy. I didn't recognize it from pregnancies 1 and 2, so I was worried about it too.
