My baby is so active, is this normal?

[Babyluv]

Hey ladies,

The last week my bub has been so active.

I work early mornings and then arvos and usually come home lie down do some study and hang out on bellybelly in between.
Seems that everytime I am lying down bub is going crazy.
She kicks constantly and seems to go for hrs non stop, the minute i'm back at work and it's noisy she is quiet.
when i'm quiet she is super active and when there's loads of noise she is quiet.
Went to Ob the other day and he said she is head down, could she be trying to get out of this position?
Just wondering if anyone else is getting this much activity from their bubs?, I feel like she is trying to escape hehe.

[Heaven]

Yeah my DD was like that and this one is too. I always wondered when on earth she slept because she seemed to be kicking ALL THE TIME! Enjoy it, you will miss it soon!

my little man went through a really big kicking stage at about 30 ish weeks... i was worried he was kicking too much and asked my Ob lol
Ob siad an active bub is a healthy bub and to try and enjoy the movements!!!

ok good to know, thanks ladies

She's really going to town and I do wonder why she isn't sleepy, she seems to be awake more than Asleep.

my DS was the same

i think there's something to do with how active you are - by that i mean, when you're active/doing things it soothes them & they rest but when you stop they wake & kick up a fuss! which is a habit that seems to follow them out of the womb no idea if that is true though

[UntoldAngel]

sloane i was told that but it has more to do with the fact that when you are active you just don't feel bub as much

babyluv my ds was the same, although he liked to kick when i was at work which was always fun for the guys to see... did not stop moving and my stomach would contort into funny shapes enjoy it because you will miss it

I've been feeling my bubs move heaps!!
I'm 27 weeks and been feeling him since about 17 weeks.
Unfortunatly, I got told the reason I feel him so much is because I have low amniotic fluid.
But, its so comforting to feel the kicks and movements...
I find it hilarious when DP and I are in bed and we can see a little foot or arm push out, even funnier when its a head pushing!!
I love feeling all the movement, but I can't wait til bubs in out!!

Charlotte was the same...as is this one lol
She never sat still at all, even when everyone told me she would slow before birth, think for her that meant she was still an hour a day!

Movement is good!

My girl isn't called squirmy for nothing - she was a big time in utero squirmer, never seemed to stop. It's all good

My two were the same. They came out that way and haven't stopped yet.....

My DS was was moving all the time during the day, then pretty quiet over night. He's been non-stop on the oustide too - and hardly slept in the first 18 months or so.
This one has definite periods of activity and rest, day and night. Very different.

My bubs is the same! I'm 30 weeks today and over the last week bubs has become kungfu panda in there! Honestly feels like she is doing cartwheels! And it's not in just one spot! My tummy moves from side to side really fast like a shimmy almost! lol...

I don't think there is anything wrong with it! There are most active around now because they are big enough but still have room in our tummies to move.
