Too much movement?

I started feeling flutters at about 16 weeks. I'm 17 and a half weeks now and getting ALOT of movement throughout the day and night. Feels like someone is doing backflips in my uterus.

Anyone else having alot of movement this early? Starting to freak me out a little. At first the flutters were so slight and cute. But now it just feels weird!!

Re: Too much movement?

  • Properbly because someone is actually doing back flips in your uterus. I do get quiet a bit of movement but also go days without im 18 weeks. I doesnt wierd me out just reasures me everythings ok. Theres nothing really you can do, so im sure you will get use to it. As baby grows them movements will get pretty big and pretty uncomfitable.

    I felt like this yesterday too! First time I've felt movements, I was 16w5d yesterday when all of a sudden I could feel baby moving. I know it wasn't hunger or gas cause these felt totally different (plus its baby #2 for me so I know how movements feel) but once I felt them it's like they went on for hours before finally calming down! Must just be a very active baby!
  • I'm having the same thing! This is baby # 1, and I started feeling movement at 15 weeks, and now at almost 18 weeks, it feels like there's a gymnastics or karate class going on in my belly! Its so fun just to sit down and feel baby move, also reassuring to know baby is doing OK.
  • I'm 18w4d and two days ago I literally felt like the baby was practicing ninja moves in my uterus.. Up until then I hadn't really felt too much.
    I also think I may be experiencing Braxton Hicks - but how do you tell the difference?? To me it all feels just strange in the uterus!!
  • @kidcapri100 Braxton Hicks is your whole stomach. You can feel it all over and the whole thing tightens. They last a few seconds. I got Braxton hicks pretty early last pregnancy. Drink lots and lots of water.

  • Ahh thanks @MegStark ! I think I may be having a combo of both...sometimes my whole stomach tightens and other times I feel this weird tight/moving sensation in just one specific area! It's been pretty calm for the past day or so :)
