hi all,im 32 weeks tomorrow and have 3 boys,im now expecting a lil girl and omg does she love 2 move.from just under my ribs 2 my pubic area,i even get a poke just under my hips.she stetches that my stomach goes like an oblong shape.u can c the bum or her heel,stick out.......it is very uncomftable but im also pleased shes active.....im not sure if this all means she is lying low....my other 3 pregnancys was nothing like this.im due to see midwife 4 days and im quite nervous what she will say....im also really scared about the labour part this time round and i dont know y...i have a gut feeling im going to have her early as i have been getting labour symptons.and it isnt braxton hicks as there a lil bit stronger than them.but not agonising if that makes sense.my thighs ache like i have down a 10 mile run sometimes and my heartburn is awful does any one else have all these

Im 35 weeks pregnant almost. My daughter is very active as well, but I have noticed she is slowing down a bit! My Dr's said active babies are healthy babies :) As u get closer 2 being 9months the baby will slow down, due to the the weight of the baby and the lesser room that the baby has 2 manuver!! When my daughter gets over active I rub in areas she is moving and talk 2 her and eventually she slows down some. Good luck with your new baby

I know what you mean about active baby. I'm at 36 weeks right now and she is still very active. Just found out the other day she is just over 7lbs right now. It can be very uncomfortable. With my first child I didn't notice him to be this active at all.

Im sooo glad i not the only one with an active baby! My midwife didnt seem to worried. I never thought bout seizres, i have epilepsy and worry bout passing it on as such. But done my reasurch and not worried anymore (about passing it on). At the moment i got a bad cold and cant stop coughing this realy isnt helping! i pulled my side it realy hurts.hope u all ok. x

Oh, also at my last ultra sound appointment, my lil guy was so active in moving, my appointment was 2 1/2 hours long because they just couldn't get good pictures he was busy dancing around!! LOL ...

This is definately a concern I have had for the past few weeks. I am 35 weeks preggo and I tell you what, either this lil guy is going to be a soccor player, a boxer or in the olympics because he is sooooo active. I have asked 2 doctor's (one being a high risk pregnancy) if it's normal or if my child is having seizure's... Both doctor's said an active baby is a good baby!

Any time I would lay and place something on my belly, he would constantly kick it until I moved it. Now, it's like he is stretching. You can literally see my belly move like jello and watch him push on both sides of my belly.

I wouldn't be worried, just be patient and endure the temporary torture :) It's well worth it!

I would take it as a good sign. This is my first but she is very active unless I'm walking a lot. I'm glad she moves I had a miscarriage about a year and a half ago so at lest I know this one is fine. some days she wont stop moving and I can't even sleep well for days but its all worth it to me to know shes healthy. Exercise dose help calm mine down for a bit otherwise I would just be happy you have a healthy baby.

I am 35 weeks pregnant with # 3 and my first hardly and movement, with my 2nd she had her moments but oh god with this one I feel like she hasn't stop moving, squirming or wiggling since I was about 6 months she is always on the go. I have learned to sleep through it unless it hurts. due August 11th lol

I am 32 weeks pregnant and my baby girl hardly moves! She would move constantly throughout my pregnancy and then when I was seven months she turned down! Ever since then I dont feel her move very often! I was concerned at first but whenever my midwife checks on the heartbeat and stuff it is all normal so I dont know if I should still be concerned! I wish she were active like she was throughout my pregnancy! You ladies are lucky so enjoy it!

maybe its a boy thing?? he kicks the midwife out the way she finds if funny. I'll try pushing him out the way when he gets me nasty ouch! .

I'll be 33 weeks tomorrow and I have a wiggle worm! It's my 4th baby and the most active. He's constantly moving, whether its a little or a lot... DH says he's praciticing his golf swing... But he's still in awe every time he feels it or sees my belly doing the mambo all by itself (it's DH's 1st child)... There's not much we can do about it except be thankful it shows the baby is doing good. Maybe try position changes if he's pushing/kicking the wrong spots. I push back if my little boy is making me uncomfortable and usually he shifts around to something that isn't so bad.

GL!

I know sometimes the movements can be uncomfortable but just be glad for an active baby. It mostly tells you that he/she is doing ok. When I was pregnant and having complications with our 3rd child I was too early on to have much noticeable movement and it drove me crazy to not know if she was ok or not. So, take joy in that you have an active healthy baby!!

Melanie,

This being my first pregnancy, I don't have anything to compare it to, but I think this little one is pretty active. I am at 33 weeks and 5 days. She seems to be constantly shifting and stretching in there. :) When I'm still and she's moving, by getting up or changing positions sometimes helps to quiet her down for a while.

So far, she's pretty much on her dad's schedule already, she doesn't seem to really settle down at night until he comes to bed, puts a hand on my stomach and talks to her (which is usually around 2:30 a.m. and I'm up getting ready for work at 6 a.m.)

Don't know if any of that helps, but I thought I would share. Hope your pregnancy has and continues to go well, even with an active baby.
