fetal movement question

Since I had an anterior placenta with Marion, movements were never very strong (especially at this point) and I almost never saw her move on the outside.

This baby though, totally different story.  She's already kicking me hard enough that I literally jump.  Sitting in church today, Josh could see her move all through the service.

Is this just normal for a posterior placenta?  Or do I have a really active baby?

    It was the norm for K and C. Both of them made my belly do waves all the time.

    Amelia was most definitely that way.  I have a partial anterior (it's half and half) so this kiddo isn't as crazy as Amelia was at that age.  I don't see a difference now, they're both nuts.

    Third vote for normal.  Both kids were the same way.

    William was nuts in the womb! I actually had someone comment on his movement during a meeting! I immediately turned beet red when everyone, including my male boss, turned their attention to my jumping belly.

    Cooper was like that in utero, and I had an anterior placenta.  Dr. Dryden said that was probably how he tied himself in such a knot.  He's been really really active ever since birth too and has done all the physical milestones (rolling, sitting) early.  He's just a very physical boy.

    I think you have a wiggle worm on your hands.

    According to my DH (who is by no means qualified to comment) - things are just more stretched out the 2nd time around so they have more room to move :-). No clue if it's true, but it does make some sense.

    Brady was 100x more active than Grant.

    good to know it's normal to be birthing a ninja Smile

    So much about this pregnancy is different than with Marion, it makes me feel like I'm pg for the first time all over again.
