Really active baby?

Question

I've been feeling movements regularly, through out the day for the past few weeks now. But how much is too much? My baby has been kicking for the past 4 hours! This is the most active I've felt baby. I'm 33 weeks and a bit worried about possible distress. Anyone know if too much movement can be a bad thing?

Answer

My doctor said there's no such thing as too much. The only cause for concern is if there's not any. My child ALWAYS moves! I had to be hooked up to the monitor and all the nurses couldn't stop laughing at how much she moved. We get a lot of "I can't wait to meet this one" kind of comments from our office because of how active she is. At work, I've stopped being invited to the meeting because the men can't handle how much my belly moves. It distracts them apparently and they all think I must be in a lot of pain.... 😏

Answer

Join the club 😩😩. My daughter moves now more than she sleeps & when she starts moving .. she doesn't stop, for hours on end. She moves so much, I'M usually exhausted by the time she settles down. Sometimes it drives you nuts and can almost be uncomfortable. The Dr's can never get a decent ultrasound because she won't sit still & they always have to fight to find her heart beat on the doppler because she moves so much lol. I know its big wishin' but I hope & pray she's getting it out of her system now & will mellow out a LOTTA bit by the time she comes out.
