Stay away from Google! And also hugs to you about your cousin , no wonder you're feeling so worried, I can totally understand.
It really is normal for your bub to have extra-active spurts, my DS1 would do that quite a lot and he stilll hasn't stopped that behaviour 4 1/2 years later LOL! But seriously, it does sound normal and it is also normal that your bub has calmed down now and will probably have big sleep after that huge effort. If you are feeling overly stressed about it all, give your hospital a call and tell them what your bub has been doing and explain why you feel worried about it. I'm sure they will reassure you over the phone or even offer to monitor your bub.
Hi SS Storm
I agree with Trish, this is quite normal. If the cord was around the neck I would expect to see decreased movements not increased movements. Also it would be very unusual for the cord to wrap around the neck and cause a problem when your baby is still inside your uterus. However for your piece of mind I’m sure that your hospital would check your baby if you asked them
As bub gets bigger the somersaults will seem more intense to you, but they are about the same as what bub has been doing for quite some time. Soon they will run out of room for such big movements, so dont worry, and just have a giggle at how much your belly wobbles from the movement.
Thankyou so much Feeling a lot more relieved now. I did think it would be more of a worry if she wasn't moving around at all, but last night she just didn't seem to stop for ages, and some of them were pretty violent movements! Maybe we just have a little disco dancer on our way...lol.
And Trish I promise to stay away from Google
Thanks again! Hopefully might get a bit more sleep tonight...feeling rather exhausted right now!
my bump is also extremely active atm, jumping around all day yesterday & didn't stop for long, has settled a little bit today but not much and is squirming as i type...
This is baby #4, and I don't remember the others being this busy? (I could have just forgotten tho) so maybe it just means we will have our hands full as they get older!..
I also wondered if it 'meant' anything, it is good to read all the reassuring replies
Hi jasp, everything is still going well here, bub is still moving/wriggling around so I'm guessing all is fine! It just seemed so strange for it to be 3am and she wouldn't stop moving for so long...DF said it's like she's fighting something...lol. Or maybe every other time she moves around like that I don't wake up and never really know any different! Who knows....babies eh...I think I'm going to be a bit of a worry-wart mum....
, no wonder you're feeling so worried, I can totally understand.
