Is this the same movement that you get in the video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlnr81Zb9yc? If yes, it is your baby hiccuping inside your womb! It is rhythmic. They are harmless, and they are usually caused by the development of the baby’s reflexes. However, even though the hiccups are perfectly normal, you should bring them up at your next appointment because they could also be signs that your baby is not getting enough air due to cord compression. However, cord compression is extremely rare and it’s something your doctor will check for on every ultrasound you get. http://www.babymed.com/blogs/jaclyn-stewart/fetal-hiccupping-womb

Sounds like baby is hiccuping! Baby may start to hiccup from 3rd tri onwards and it'll look like your tummy is quivering. I always laugh when I feel and see my tummy quivering! I can almost imagine how baby must be feeling in the womb

It could also be your baby practicing breathing! Or your aorta pumping blood. Can check with your doctor to see which one it is. :)

baby having hiccups!! enjoy it! ! I find it the most affordable thing. . and sometimes it gets so strong! !

Definitely hiccups! My baby hiccups in my tummy a few times a day, cute to feel and watch!

thanks
