Hello

Before I start, I am NOT complaining, far from it .

My baby has been doing what feels like a full work out ALL day . Just wanted to know if others are getting a similar amount of movement at 21ish weeks.?

BTW, I've just started eating again (only today) after a vomiting bug and not eating at all for 24plus hours so wondering if thats why the baby is so active...

i have heard that babys stop moving so much when you are ill to give you time to recuperate so am sure that is why

21 weeks here too and little one is going mad today!
I had scan today, so I am putting it down to that
Its a lovely feeling, but not at 11pm when I am trying to sleep!

Mine's been hyper since about 18 weeks! Seems to have calmed down a bit now (am 24 weeks) so perhaps finding it a bit more of a squeeze in there. I'm only little after all!

mine carried all for all of yesterday non stop and most of the evening before sleep. Then as soon as I was awake again this morning. In fact the only thing that calms it down is my DH putting his hand on it - bit of a joke now in my house

am 24 weeks tomorrow, and bean moves about all the time - sometimes has a break in the afternoon before gearing up for an evening's aerobics workout. And it likes an early start as well - it's been moving from around 4am over the past few nights. Not great for my sleep, but I imagine it's a healthy sign.

and to think i was worried at 20 weeks that I couldn't feel anything...
