Pregnancy

How wriggly is your baby?

I'm 35 weeks pregnant with my second child and it seems unbelievably active compared to my first. DS1 was head down from the very first scan and althought I had kicks and tickles, this one has moved from extended breech to transverse to head down over the last two weeks and in between I've had movements that cause my whole bump to move. I find it a little freaky - is it normal for the second one to move this much?

ewww! I remember that feeling! Its so weird when the whole bump shifts in slow motion isn't it!

One thing to bear in mind, my DC3 went very quiet the day before being born after being very active all along. I was worried about no movements and went for a check with MWs. They panicked a bit when she didn't start objecting to being poked and prodded, but it seems she was just getting in a bit of rest before the big day! So if baby goes quiet, obviously do get it checked, but be reassured that it happens quite often apparently.

Enjoy the rest of your pg and rest assured that if you're like me, you will dream about those feelings for many years to come - still freaks me out!

mine has been one very active baby from the get go 42+1 and she is still a right little fidget bum. I get everything from the creepy tai chi pushes and rolls to full on arm and leg flailing in my side.

I'm 33 weeks with a little boy on the way and he never stops. He's head down, but moves, kicks, grabs and flails constantly. He only sleeps at night when I go to bed but even then has a habit of attacking the maternity pillow, mattress or DH if he feels anything on the bump. Got a feeling I'm going to have my hands full when he gets here!

38 weeks here and baby moves and wriggles all the time. Always has done! I can actually see the outline of hands and feet and when she moves her head and bum my whole bump moves. Very freaky!

I'm only 22 weeks and already it seems like I'm breeding a kung-foo Panda Shock. This baby has been known to make me physically jump already Blush

Im 24 weeks pregnant,I feel like like the baby does sommersaults,it makes me baulk.Then I get a kicking sensation on the left which I think may be a foot.I will be honest I didnt think it would be strong just yrt.When do people on the outside feel it? as dh says he cant yet.

I am nearly 31 weeks pregnant first pregnancy and my baby is kicking moving etc like mad! Seems to like lying or sitting at my top of my rib cage which is really painful, or head engaged! I love the kicks and looking at my belly and seeing it move but the positions it gets into are driving me. Crazy. I guess I just want the baby out! Lol

Baby had his days when he refuses to stay still (today for example) and then others (like yesterday) refused to move all day until muumy cried and daddy told him off.
