Fetus won't stop moving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bibblebobbles]

Aahhhhhh, weeks and weeks and weeks of having a bloody gymnast in my body! It's over active I swear, if this thing moves as much now as it does after being born, I'll never see sleep again!

I'm like a punch bag on the inside, I know it's meant to be all "cute" and happy when the baby moves, and of course I'm delighted it's very much alive but it's relentless and uncomfortable!

I used to think of being a surrogate but that's gone out the window lol

So crazy isn’t it. Had anterior placenta during first pregnancy & so many reduce movement episodes that I was induced at 37 & 6. Couldn’t feel much at all. This pregnancy anterior placenta but my god the movement has been sooo intense it makes me feel sick 😭 37 weeks & so ready to have baby earth side!

It was a long time ago now, but my first baby used to have hiccups inside me. It wasn't painful or uncomfortable, but bloody annoying!

@Snowontheroof my first did that too! I'd just be settling down for the night and he'd start with the hiccups and keep me awake.

That's when he wasn't poking me in the ribs with his foot.

He's just turned 30, and he's still annoying

Ds was like that, every time I was doing anything complicated at work or trying to sleep & he would start disco dancing & headbutting my bladder.

I’ve always felt as if I shouldn’t complain but I do not remember my first moving as much as my second. I actually find it quite weird and uncomfortable. Also have a very hiccupy baby and the feeling of a strong pulse just beating is something I’m still not getting used to.

On the plus side I never feel anxiety about movements as they are constantly kicking about. I’m definitely looking forward to him being outside my body though!

Your choice of a word to call your baby is peculiar. Is it a planned pregnancy? Are you struggling? Could you ask your midwife to refer you to some antenatal groups? Any other support? You sound very stressed

I have to agree with this. I hope you have someone you can go to and seek support.

Huh? No I'm not at all stressed just joking around. Yes it's a planned pregnancy 😊

On the plus side I never feel anxiety about movements as they are constantly kicking about.

lol absolutely

This is my third and rather than fetal movement I refer to it as fetal violence, haha. By far my most active baby

I’m 38+6 and have an anterior placenta , and literally barely feel my little girl. Can only feel if I put my hand on the outside. It’s been so stressful, I wish I could have felt her more because I love it when I do.

Careful what you wish for. The only thing worse than a baby who moves too much is one who doesn’t move enough.

my second was like this, she’s just turned one and still hasn’t stopped moving!!!

Oh my gosh I feel the same, this is my third baby and as reassuring as it is that it's moving so much, I honestly don't know when it sleeps!!

I was told I have an anterior placement this time but it must be lower centre rather than front and centre because I feel this as much as my first with the posterior placenta!

It likes to favour that small thin soft patch right at the top of my belly too, just to really have maximum impact 😂 only 10 weeks to go!

DD2 was like this. She’s 7 now and still never stops moving! She also rolled and walked early and she does gymnastics!

Was coming on to say exactly the same.

Aww yeah I totally sympathize. Feeling it move around is definitely reassuring. I conceived straight after 2 miscarriages so I know the anxiety around the 'unknown'. Your little one will be with you in the outside world soon. 😊

Oh calm down! I'm just having fun

I had one like this and I’m afraid it has continued his whole life! He never stays still.

I used to love their hiccups!

It’s reassuring. It’s a precious experience. Wishing you well in the rest of your pregnancy OP.

Oh I had this. I had a customer facing job when pg with my first and strangers would lose their attention from what we were talking about and often comment on the seemingly feral beast I was growing 🤦‍♀️ If it wasn't kung fu it was hiccups. Labour was quick but little wonder, they were going bananas trying to boot their way out, even the midwife commented as she was trying to listen to their hb.

My second was a lot calmer. They saved the ridiculous poses until literally the moment before exit, where they decided a vogue-type pose would do nicely - yeeeOOow FFS!

In the outside world, DC1 was/is a lot calmer than DC2, although both were keen to move. Those babies you can sit on a picnic mat for example and they just stay there are a mystery to me! I gave up on postnatal pilates because my 4mth old kept escaping the mat.

Good luck op!

One of mine moved A LOT in utero.

Turned into the most relaxed, placid and horizontal person in the world.

Don't worry just yet.

DS was like a wave machine inside me. I don't know what he was doing it used to feel like forward rolls. Then he'd get faster and faster. My god sometimes it would make me
feel so nauseous, like I'd been on a boat

I felt nauseous with all the movement too 🤢
