23wks and feels like baby kicking all the time - anyone else?

Pretty much what I said in the title.
This is DC3 and I have felt kicks and movements since about 15/16 wks but now at 23wks it feels like it's almost all the time and not very gentle either! If you put a hand on my belly you can clearly feel it. I'm quite slim so maybe that doesn't help. Is it going to get worse? I don't remember it being so often this early on with my other 2.

I am 20 pg with dc2. My dd hardly moved but this baby is soooo wriggly...It literally boots my bladder, I think its going to be much busier than dd.!!

I'm the same, but it's my first pregnancy so I didn't expect so much movement so early on, especially as I have a high anterior placenta! You can clearly see and feel movement from the outside of the bump.

I wish mine was more active! I love it when baby (DC1) moves & kicks!

Think of the positive side girlfromdownsouth - you'll soon notice if baby suddenly becomes less active. :)

Im 25 wks and the baby has been going mental since 17 wks with definate kicks and thuds, this is also my first and everyone kept telling me all i'll feel is 'butterflys' for a while but i could actually see movements from the outside from about 21 wks.Some of the kicks make me stop in my tracks or cry out in pain to so its a bit weird.

I'm quite quite slim with a small bump so thinking this is why im noticing it so much- my SIL is 27 wks and is still only getting 'butterflys'.

This is my first pregnancy and I started feeling movements quite early for a first pregnancy (about 16-17 weeks). My DP could feel them on the outside too. I also get some strange, slightly unpleasant sensations inside as well - not sure what the little fella is kicking in there but it feels odd!!

I'm slim as well so I wonder if being slim does make a difference - less padding to muffle the movements maybe?? Or maybe it's just supersensitive insides!!

I'm the same!

I'm 34 weeks and from about 21 weeks this little one has been so active. I've been awake since 4am as the movement is constant! I suppose in a way it's preparing me for the sleepless nights!

Im 23 weeks and constantly getting knocked around..my stomach even moves all over the place lol! Im not slim but have no stomach muscle which is why i think i can feel it more

34 weeks here too & still loads of movement. Had a quiet day on Wednesday and it was so unusual I got a bit worried! Used to sitting on sofa in the evening watching my belly squirm all over the place.
