@Stankonia2014 It's funny you say that - I was so uncomfortable yesterday! I couldn't be mad because I was so relieved, but he was hurting me a little.
@MithK I've started counting. It actually helps me feel in control and less anxious. I hope that's the case for you too!
This baby has some intense movements! I don't remember seeing my belly move from the outside so early on before. My first would stop moving as soon as H would touch my stomach, this one wants it's presence to be known and hits back often. It's so funny and cute! I even caught some video of baby responding to me touching my belly.
@danijo I haven't started counting yet but when I do I'll be using the kick counter on the Ovia app.
LO hasn't been kicking much for DH for the past few days. Well, I guess this morning she needed to show how big her kicks have gotten so he got some real strong ones and was promptly weirded out.
@lmudra I had an ultrasound on Monday and baby was head down and during the couple hours before and after I was feeling movements way low. Could be baby's arms.
I feel most big movements to the right side and small ones to the left, so I think baby is still sideways, but I also just hit 24w a few days ago so I think that's still normal. I guess my midwife will tell me next week at my appointment.
I'm pretty sure this LO is still transverse (he was at my A/S). I can distinctly feel feet in my right side. DS was (and stayed) head down by this point. Oh well, he still has plenty of time to turn.
My last was breech and I never felt movements low. I did feel significant pressure on one hip which ended up being his butt (he was frank breech fwiw). This time baby is head down and the bladder pressure is OUT OF THIS WORLD.
It's so wild to experience the movements change. Like many of you, I'm noticing LO more active on some days than others. @soontobemrsdavis also having the experience of pushing back to baby's movements and getting reciprocal push back, so cute! @ladylolly89 I think my LO is also transverse with his/her head on my right side. MW thought so last Friday too. The head feels very obvious! Hope they turn!
@lmdura with DD they found that she was breech at a 26w scan that I had because my fundal height was like 3 weeks off (which turned out to be bc she was breech and all balled up). I had anterior placenta that was pretty centrally located, but I remember thinking "oh I guess that's why I feel the strongest movements down low...it's her legs."
She had flipped by the time I had a follow up scan at 36 weeks. I remember thinking "that also makes sense" because I could feel something constantly jammed up in my ribs and most kicking was all on one side...turns out that something was her butt and the kicking was on one side because that's where her legs landed. I was a breech baby and my head was jammed up under my mom's ribs so I came out with a dented head...I thought that was possible too but fortunately it was not the case for me.
Baby has gotten much stronger over the last week or two. Anyone else feel a little nauseous when there's a big kick? It's just during the kick then goes away.
@danijo I don't get nauseous but I feel kind of similar to when someone touches me unexpectedly. Almost like I go on guard and then relax again. It's happening less as I get used to the bigger movements.
@danijo The sensation has definitely changed over the last week or so. I think he's kicking me right in sensitive organs sometimes, and it makes me sit up and do a double take.
Whoa, last night baby must have done a major position change, which is weird because my midwife just told me yesterday which position baby was in based on where I've been feeling all the movement in the past few weeks.
It was the weirdest feeling, much longer lasting and more "alien" than anything else I've felt so far. And now this morning whatever movements are happening on the right side of my belly feel 2 or 3x as strong as before and are hugely noticeable even looking from the outside!
I've had a lot of stronger movements and movements that can be seen from the outside. DH is enjoying them more now that he doesn't have to be so patient. Tonight he said, "baby is really pushing against my hand!" The baby is moving like crazy right now but DH went to sleep. I'll have to wait for baby to settle down before I get any sleep.
I've really started having strong movements the past week. So much so sometimes I have to change positions like if I'm kind of hunched and then I get a punch in the ribs and it's kind of painful!
H finally got some good feels in the other day. I had assumed she slept when I did because I'd start to feel movements a few minutes after waking up. Well, I woke up the other day with H's hands on my belly. He had woken up a little before I did and told me he was feeling lots of kicks, one so hard his hand almost flew off my stomach! He was so excited about it and kind of giddy, it was so cute. And he even told his coworker about it that day. It was sweet.
@graceriesz That's good to know! I guess I will just be happy with the added relief that everything is OK in there then - and also hope he calms down a little when he arrives.
@danijo@graceriesz ..... baby is so much stronger these days! Also..... is there a such thing as sleep training a baby in utero?? Little jerk likes to have parties in there while I'm sleeping!
DH decided today to try blowing raspberries on my stomach to get a response from baby and (unfortunately for me) it seemed to work. So now its going to be his favourite thing to try to do everyday in order to feel kicking, even though it happens enough already without any encouragement. Sure it's cute but it also tickles me!
The babies are strong enough, and squished enough, to wake each other up now! So once one starts moving, the other starts, and then my whole belly is a bouncy castle. My kids watch it and just laugh
The baby was performing a circus act last night. My husband and I were watching from the outside for a good ten minutes. I don't remember this much movement ever with my DD.

@graceriesz I was also wondering this. There's tons of info on not enough movement but I haven't found much on too much movement.
It was the weirdest feeling, much longer lasting and more "alien" than anything else I've felt so far. And now this morning whatever movements are happening on the right side of my belly feel 2 or 3x as strong as before and are hugely noticeable even looking from the outside!
