Oh my god girl no need to feel guilty at all . I am also carrying super front forward with a boy and he honestly moves night and day , it’s gets so tiring and my belly gets so sore, that all I want is to be able to rest and for him to stop . Your the best mum ever , this doesn’t make you bad in any way . A very active baby is a good sign . I’m 37 weeks and it’s gotten so much worse 🙈 good luck x

That's a great sign. 3 weeks ago I gave birth to an active baby boy who was relentless in my womb. Trust the process!!

Oh girl, I'm currently 37 weeks and very much feeling your pain. My girl has been sitting so low and forward and let me tell ya the pain is exhausting. We can love our babies and still not want the pain of pregnancy.
You've got this momma, no need to feel guilty for having feelings.
Pregnancy is hard !

Eek! I think this will be me. I'm only 22 weeks with a posterior placenta and he is alllllways kicking and I can see it when I watch my belly! At all of my ultrasounds they always comment on how active he is 😅 the worst is when he kicks my bladder. It's only a matter of time until I pee myself lol

I didn't love feeling them move - With both my kiddos it felt weird and I wanted a break too. I know some moms love it, but just not for me. It can be a lot!

Dooonnnntt feel guilty. I remember with my first I literally thought she broke my rib because it hurt so bad I was in tears. 🖤

You don't have to enjoy every aspect of pregnancy, to love and connect with your baby. I think to my baby "you are loved. You are wanted" and I also think to my baby "mummy is in pain right now but it's not your fault. Its just mummy's body".

Omg I’m 22 weeks & my little princess doesn’t stop sometimes it’s painful. But on the other hand it shows that they are strong & healthy xx

Baby girl is constantly wiggling and moving.. she presses herself right up against the inside of my tummy by the end of the day I'm exhausted and I feel stretched lol x

I felt the same way. When I did ultrasounds during pregnancy they would mention how active he was all the time. It helped sometimes for me to get on to all fours on the bed and sway sometimes

Mine is very wriggly, I've never timed it but sometimes I swear it's like 40 minutes of movement and it's very exhausting! I can definitely relate to the guilty feelings.
At the end of the day there are going to be plenty of times we are going to think "Will you just stop doing X, and let me have some peace!" 100,000 times in their lifetime, so we need to find ways to make peace with the fact that it's unrealistic to love 100% of the moments of being pregnant/ being a Mum. And thankfully noone, especially the baby knows the (very natural) thoughts that flit around our heads. We are only human 💕

My wee boy moved non stop even the midwifes laughed at the scans cause they couldnt believe it, hes a week old now and he is the most content baby ever i couldnt believe it thought he was going to be all guns blazing🤣🤣 he made me feel so sick i wanted it to stop or slow down too so dont think your a bad mum your probably exhausted! Xx

My baby is like this too, it doesn’t bother me BUT his hiccups drive me insane 😩 he gets them 2-4 times a day and they last so long, it makes me so irritated.

I am 33 and a half weeks and baby boy has been mostly chill ever since I could feel him lol. Only moves early morning when I wake up and meditate and after dinner/laying in bed for the evening. Hoping he is a chill baby outside of the womb 🤞🏼

I started feeling my son at 18 weeks and he literally hasn't stopped moving since. I'm 36+3 and I'm torn between wanting him to bake all the way through and just wanting him out lol

I’m only 27 weeks and my boy NEVER stops kicking and moving. Night time. Mornings. Work. Wakes me up at night. I get quite aggravated sometimes but I know that means he’s doing good and a growing boy so just gotta be happy and blessed! I don’t think it means you’re a bad momma at all

I felt my little girl from 16 weeks I’m now nearly 36 weeks doesn’t get better my ribs are so so sore I feel you😩 I used to love it but now it just feels horrible. I looked up on internet about movements cause it was my first baby I got so scared that something was wrong cause her movement literally doesn’t stop! I’m so glad to read these posts on here I’m not the only one suffering lol! We can do this only a little while to go now🙌🏼

I'm only 20 weeks, but with twins. One of them moves most of the day and night, agitates the other twin ... all of this movement is draining me and keeping me awake when I need to rest! I can even feel the second twin trying to move away!

Totally understand !! I’m 32 weeks with my second baby. I’ve had posterior placenta both times. First time I loooooved all the movements and she never hurt me and I thought she moved a lot!!
This baby has other plans hhahaha they move and wiggle and dance all Night when I’m trying to sleep. Most nights I can’t get comfy. My husband can’t even believe I sleep through it sometimes. Plus i get what i think are elbow jabs in my right side every night and they hurt!!! Im grateful to be feeling movements early and often but the fact that this time hurts and I have a 1.5 yr old to take care of is tough 😅. Like it feels like this baby plays drums or something in my belly. Made me worry something was wrong!

Not pregnant anymore but yes I completely understand that feeling!!although now I kind of miss it! And when he wasn’t moving around like a psycho I’d have his head under my ribs 😂😂 the joys of pregnancy

I'm 28 weeks and have been feeling super terrible about this as well. I really dont like feeling movement at all. I reposition myself with every hard kick and cringe. Iv been feeling like a horrible person because of it especially when this is all I'v wanted for nearly a decade of trying.

Yeah my little girl is super actice

What bothered me the most was when my son would have the hiccups. It felt so weird that it actually made me feel sick and I just wanted it to stop. So I totally get how you feel and it doesn’t make you a bad mom!

I totally get it ! I love that my little man is so active however mommy is very worn out and little uncomfortable I’m 32 weeks and he moves constantly.

My baby girl is moving CONSTANTLY and I appreciate her being strong and healthy but I am also downright sore from it. She has her feet always the same spot kicking very hard and it literally stings, it’s that sore. I try to think about how I will likely miss it when it’s over. But I kinda both enjoy and hate it at the same time.

No longer pregnant but yes, especially in the later months. It was so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep. When they're out they do loads of jabbing and kicking too 😂

My girl NEVER stopped moving when I was pregnant, and she has been the same since she was born a year ago! 😅

Mine is really active and it drives me mad 😂 tends to get worse once I’ve just gotten comfy

I feel like this too! I've cried at times because the movements are so intense. I feel guilty afterwards as know its just a sign he is healthy but in the moment I really struggle at times... so please know you are not alone at all! Xx

I feel the same way! I am so uncomfortable and in pain. And beyond exhausted. Can’t really get out of bed to do much. Swelling everywhere too.
And I can’t help but thinking about walking into the doctors for an induction. #36Weeks
As many women as I’ve heard, I believe it’s normal to want the pregnancy over and just have your baby in your arms already.

I’m in the exact same position and so glad that someone else feels the same. I’m 33 weeks tomorrow. My baby moves constantly and the movements are too much. It’s constant and really uncomfortable.. I just want a break! I’ve been feeling guilty too!

Yes drives me mad. I am very resentful and can’t wait to have my body back!

my oldest was the same... also never slept as a baby and toddler. turned out he had ADHD severely. funny looking back on it now at all the signs I was too tired to see.

Oh man! I could see how this would be exhausting, but I have the opposite issue. At 30 weeks little girl is not very active. I’m constantly a nervous wreck wishing she would be moving more! Doctor isn’t worried thankfully but I wish she would give me a bit more of those movements 😩

No its perfectly normal at that time my son used to kick me so hard that it would knock the breath out me and i hated it

My baby girl was like this my last trimester! Sometimes it would knock the breath out of me and I would have to push on her and rub to make her stop lol! She is 4 months now, and she still moves constantly!! She is always rubbing her face and kicking her legs like crazy 😆 Sometimes I have to hold her hands down when she's sleeping, but she constantly knocks her noonie out of her mouth lol! I'm hoping she grows out of the fidgeting 🤞

My second son was the same way lol!!!! I talked to my doctor about it and he wasn’t worried at all and he said maybe he will be a doctor or an engineer.

Yes I’m 31 weeks and decided to take off work 2 weeks sooner than planned. He’s so active all the time and I am so exhausted all the time… nesting time ‼️

Yes, this kid never stops moving and when they have the hiccups it is so uncomfortable. I've started making my husband put his hand on my belly because that seems to be the only time this kid doesn't move. I beg him to put his hands on my belly so I can get some peace for a minute. 🤣

You're in the home stretch... its uncomfortable to say the least but no you're not alone lol

It's normal, makes you tired right? I feel u

I’m pregnant with my first at 31 weeks and she has been sooo so active it’s insane. Every doctor has been like “wow she doesn’t stop moving” and I’m like YOURE TELLING ME! It’s okay to feel what you’re feeling! It can be exhausting. But, I just try to remember that it tells me baby is heathy. I’m sure id feel quite anxious if I didn’t feel her move so often as tiring as it is!

No your not. Before I gave birth my little boy would not stop for days on end meaning I never got any sleep. I would pray it would stop even just for 5 minutes. Now he is here he loves his sleep and I get a ly in. I hope the same for you

Lol my girl loves to kick me when it’s my bedtime and my husband would have to “give her the talk to make her stop and if she doesnt stop he places his hands on my belly where i feel she’s kicking and she stops!🤣 she is definitely a daddy’s girl! And believe me when I say she kicks she kicks so hard it makes me jerk forward. Im only 21 weeks but been feeling her kicks since 16wks.

Haha I just started third trimester and it looks like my baby got the green light to move non stop 🙈😀 lunch time has never been the same…

Don’t feel bad! My daughter gets in these moods where she won’t stop moving or kicking for hours and I’m so exhausted sometimes I’m like girlfriend you need to sit down. But then when she doesn’t move as much I worry and have to tey to get her to move. They seem to be more intense at night when I’m trying to sleep, I understand. It doesn’t make you a bad mom. Just tired lol

I'm 33 weeks expecting a boy? And oh man he kicks so hard it hurts, I can feel him kick on my cervix, he also stretches his limbs as much as possible I think he is going to rip my belly on half, trying to rest as much as possible but always feeling tired 😴😖

My 1st son was like this lol and I always joke about it now that his 8yo with adhd, I should have known 🤣🤣🤣

Mine moves so much it makes me nauseous 🤢🤢 you’re not alone

It is completely normal! Don’t feel bad. In my case baby kept on moving like that until the end, but doctors say they calm down sometimes in the last months. Whatever the case, don’t feel bad it is annoying even if we love our babies so much. And people will tell you that baby is going to drive you crazy once it comes out… LIES.. my baby is now an amazing sleeper and so well behaved, he’s 5 1/2 months. He was just a big baby and I am a small person, probably had little space. I still had a natural birth and zero complications, he was 8.4 pounds.
