Baby is suuuuuper active
Hey, I'm not really complaining about this, but this little guy inside me is so freaking active I swear, he's going to be a very turbulent baby. His older sister was so chill compared to him. She was so calm most days that I was often worried if everything was fine. But he, he jumps and kicks and turns and wiggles all day. Doesn't care if I'm laying down or walking, he's always awake moving. I think he never sleeps.
To be honest, I kind of love it though.
But, at my last appointment they couldn't find his heartbeat long enough to "write" a constant ctg. Tried it but he was just not having it and fighting it. Turning aways from machine or bouncing against the pads.. So they wanted to send me into the hospital. I was so scared.. Called my midwife and she immediately calmed me. I went to her and she did an ctg as well and everything was okay. He was still super active and fighting it, but she let me stay on the machine for an hour and said that my baby is going to be probably just a hyper little boy.
I have my next appointment with my gyn next week and I think the same thing will happen again.
Do you have any suggestions on how to calm baby down before the appointment, so that he's maybe not fighting the pads too much?
