Mind blown! Had no idea about us having an AE ! Just messaged you @pshaortao.
BTW, I mobile bump and hasn't checked my inbox since.... I think my last bmb... just a heads up to those that don't and should because I missed some supportive messages sent to me back in December
@nda_roxybabe@l1cgal and @jayandaplus FTM, but I thought I read somewhere that how baby is in the uterus is not the same as how they are once they are born. I think it said it had to do with baby being rocked to sleep when you are more active and kicking and moving when you're not, so it doesn't' really matter what their schedule is not, it could be completely different once they are born. I'll have to see if I can find the article...I mean I could be remembering completely wrong haha (my brain keeps failing me), but I'm almost positive that's what I had read.

@nda_roxybabe@L1C4gal@jayandaplus with my first, his schedule out of the womb didn't match what he did inside. Plus, babies' "schedules" change so often in the first few months anyhow unless you get that lucky unicorn baby...
Regarding babys activity level in utero versus being born.. I honestly don't remember! Once DD was born it was all a blur anyways with the constantly nursing and doing MOTN bumping and infinite amount of time wasted on Netflix.
This guy is almost always moving around 11pm, give or take, and I have to wait for him to settle down before I can go to sleep. I just imagine itll be a time I will just nurse.
@BabyMC517@mrsrep123 That's what I kind of figured. However, baby does have 2 times of the day that regardless of whether I'm active/ moving or not, they're definitely up. I'll be curious to see if those 2 times continue after birth.
I really HOPE the baby's activity level in utero isn't the same as once they're born. This baby is always moving. She doesn't stop for more than 15 minutes at a time. If this is what I have coming in 2.5 months, I need more time to prepare.
As far as activty in utero vs outside baby, I noticed that mine acted similar. DS was super calm, sent me to the hospital more than once for lack of movement, that kid was one of those magical unicorn babies that would sleep in 3-4 hour stretches, and super easy. DD was a crazy active baby, drama in every way possible (the NICU nurses even joked about her drama levels), I swear the child never slept, she is still hard to make go to bed or take a nap, overall she's a live wire.
I don't know about schedules, but I can say my DD's attitude matched her immediate post-birth attitude. When she was born, we had to cut skin to skin short because she was so ridiculously worked up. The nurse actually said, "We don't usually do this, but let's try a swaddle." Once she was in her swaddle, she calmed down and we cuddled just fine. She still has a flair for the dramatics and will crumble to the floor at a moment's notice. Also, I had to be induced with her because she was late. She's still very stubborn and will only do things on her own schedule.
I can't remember my first being crazy active inside but my son was a sleep hating colic monster on the outside so I'm hoping this kid's party party party attitude isn't a reflection of anything to come.
Here's a random. Does baby's schedule in utero end up being anything like their schedule once they're born? This baby definitely has it's active awake times. To the point that I can know what time it is based on their movement.
@nda_roxybabe I was wondering the same thing yesterday! Curious to know...
I think it does. That's why many babies have their nights and days turned around when they are first born. Also, I don't know how true this is for every baby but DS was a super active baby in the womb and turned out to be a pretty restless, active newborn where DD was very quiet in the womb and very mild and quiet on the outside too. Obviously no anterior placenta.

With mine, older daughter was SUPER active all the time, and younger daughter would be still for long periods, and then active for a little bit at a time. Well, even now older daughter moves a lot in her sleep, and is always in a different spot in her bed when I go in to check on them. Younger daughter is super still in her sleep, and is always exactly where I left her in her bed! During the day, they're about equal to each other with the active thing, and both are great sleepers! So, some of activity level can be predicted by how baby is on the inside, but you can't really tell what they're doing in there. They could be flip flopping in their sleep! And like others have said it didn't really seem like the same activity level time-wise.
Sry for no tagging but I've read through everything and the July stuff . They had a couple of other threads I clicked on too and they definitely attract the drama over there lol.
Was our catfish the "TW I had a loss bye" poster by chance? Cuz looking back that's the only one that struck me as different but never having experienced a loss I wouldn't know how I'd react. Prior to that though I had no clue but maybe missed some of the questionable posts because that's back when the randoms thread was too overwhelming to follow.
I'm in the no FB account boat and know I'm not the top participant on this board but also hope it continues after the littles are here cuz I definitely remember those long MOTN nursing sessions where I appreciated checking back in on everyone last time. (Before the exodus of course).
@rosemarylaff - You're my hero! It hasn't happened as much this time around, but last pregnancy I used to get questioned a lot by the Starbucks baristas. "Did you mean decaf?" NO.
I totally didn't pick up on the cat fish, wth! So glad they are no longer in the group. I would love to go look at Julys drama but I have a hard time keeping up with this board sometimes! Maybe when I have more time I'll make my way over there.
Thank you to whoever explained what AE is. I was so confused. That is wild about July and also totally missed us having one. Was it ever pointed out on here and I just missed it? Thanks to those that rooted it out!
Also thank you to the person who stood up for themselves at Starbucks. I hope your response prevents her from saying something judgemental to another pregnant lady in the future.

Random: The Bump has been playing some super weird and sometimes disturbing ads on the computer.
Also, to whoever told the person at Starbucks off. You go girl!
