This baby is too active 😫

Anyone else having this issue? Like my firstborn was active but nothing compared to this baby. Even my OBs, midwives, and ultrasound techs have ALL pointed it out. He has very aggressive, strong movements. And he moves a ton.

The bigger he gets, the more it hurts. I’m worried I’ll get diastasis recti this time because of it. My stomach and abs seriously hurt. And where the abs naturally separate to allow expansion of the uterus feels sore all the time now.

He jabs his feet into my ribs and kicks so hard I feel like he’s going to break something.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy he’s moving as it lets me know he’s okay but it didn’t hurt this bad with my first son. I can’t decide if it’ll be worse or better if/when he drops (I never visibly dropped with my first son).

Is there anything at all I can do to relieve the discomfort? Or do I just have to deal with it? I should’ve asked my doctor but it seems silly to be like “hey, yeah, my baby moves a ton and it actually really hurts so how do I make it better?”
