This is my 3rd baby and she is another girl. Both my daughter and son were very active but this bub seems to only be active of a morning.

this baby is so active! he is on the move all day and night. i started feeling him move around 16 weeks. it was like little butterflies at first. now its full on kicks and jabs. my daughter wasnt as active as he is. she kicked almost on a schedule. she was a very calm baby out of the womb as well. so i think were in for it with this baby! lol

She gets really active depending on what it is that I eat. when she does kick she kicks hard and just about kicked my phone off my stomach one night. So far I just feel her rolling around and she gets something shoved up under my ribs once in awhile and I'm not quite sure what

jessica i can understand your concern i had a loss to inbetween this one and i have stressed if i didn't get the kicks but now i find she's more active after i eat now, then i get the day's when she does not stop kicking the entie day it even wears me out. Cara that's what i was thinking of to because my son was not moving alot and didn't want to come out lol he's still the same, wont go & play wants to be with mum all the time lol. Maybe my little girl is gonna be an active one quite the oposit to her brother lol.

This is my 2nd pregnancy and 2nd baby girl. My first was extremely active all the time(still is. lol) This time ths little girl isn't quite as active tho. She has her moments of being very active but she seems to have herself on some sort of schedule. My first wasn't like that tho. She moved around all hours of the day and night, seemed like she never slept

Boy #3 and one moves just as much as the other. I am also one that gets like 10 in 5 min. I think they are going to be drummers or something. :)

Baby # 2 is my second girl and I dont remember the first moving this much!! When my doctor told me to count the movements every night after dinner to get 10 in an hour I was like well I will count ten in like 5 minutes!!! I think maybe you are just more aware your second time around but than again I'm sure every baby is just different too! Sometimes it is very painful and I find myself telling her to stop hurting mamma-LOL as if she understands me from inside my belly! Good luck!

super active to the point of please i just need a rest for a min ! its baby number 2 and a girl at 30 weeks now x i do think it could be a combination of being no2 and a girl my first was a boy and although regularly active nothing like this or as strong as this shes painfully active till my sides stomach and back ache !

This is my third pregnancy. The second didn't last long enough to feel movement, so I don't know. My son was my first and he wasn't active that much...and he has never been since he was born either. This one is a girl and she is active at times but not really very active either. This time around I am extremely worried about the lack of activeness and want to call the doctor every other day but my son wasn't active either so I talk myself out of it.

My first daughter was super active! WAAAAAY surpassed the 10 kicks an hour! I'm pregnant with babies numbers 2 and 3 right now; baby a is super active just like my first daughter. Baby B is very quiet and seems to hardly move at all! Between the two fo them though, someone is ALWAYS moving! BTW, they are both girls. Every baby is different, I dnt' think it's a boy or a girl thing, I think it's just a your new baby thing!



*edit to add: women pregnant for the second, third whatever time are more likely to feel kicks earlier and feel MORE kicks thrughout the pregnancy btw, so yes, it could be that you're just more aware of all the little kicks than you were with the first.
