im 27+4 and for weeks now my unborn has been very active.he moves nearly all day and night even when im moving about. in the night when i turn over he's still on the move i also get a lot of bubbling at the bottom of my stomach but i always think thats the placenta cause its covering my os?my midwife says an active baby is an healthy baby...is this true?

I'm 32 weeks with DC3, and I swear I don't remember the other two being this active!

Like yours, this baby never stops!

What makes it more unnerving is when it does rest, I then start panicking that its not moving as much as it should be!

Several midwives and two sonographers have commented on how active it is?!?

If it is this active when its born, I will have no trouble losing the baby weight!

I'm 29 weeks and in exactly the same boat. I was worried that the baby was too active at one point, but realised it was pregnancy paranoia and a good thing.

Like morethemerrier the downside is that I get stressed if the baby hasn't moved in a half hour! I understand the movements calm down as the baby starts to run out of room in there (35/36 weeks?), so maybe things will be quieter then

I'm 34 weeks and share everything you have all said.This is my 5th,my first was the only other one as active as this and she still doesn't sit still at age 14! The other 3 were and are much more placid.Only had spd with 1st and this one too,which I think has something to do with the furious activity going on - it certainly doesn't help the pain!
