Constant kicks

Hi, up until last night I've had normal movements. But from last night and all day today I've had massive kicks, turns, thumps, ripples. I know that feeling no movement should be a cause for concern, but when they're thrashing around is that a sign of distress? (or am I over-thinking this?) I'm utterly exhausted with all this movement. Is it normal for the movements to ramp up at bit towards the last couple of months? (I'm 29 weeks with twins) thanks

They are probably having a good readjust in their positions aren't they. Still some space at 29 weeks but strong enough to kick hard?

Im not having twins, however I do have a hugely active bump. Bit scared as I don't think she sleeps, ever, hopefully not a sign of things to come!!!

I have always thought an active bump was a happy bump and find it reassuring (although less so at 3am). I am 35+2 and she is still finding plenty dancing space

My bump never sleeps either! It moves constantly, I can see it wriggling around and moving from the outside and it constantly kicks! I hope it sleeps abit more when it's born ;) x

If it's not normal for you and you are worried then call your midwife or labour ward for advice. Not worth taking any risks. It will put your mind at rest at least.

The advice from count the kicks is to get advice regarding any change in movement not just a reduction so I would call them.
