Movement 22.5 weeks

This might seem a silly question but is it normal to feel so much movement this early on in 1st pregnancy?? I started feeling flutters about 18 weeks and proper kicks about 20 weeks. Last night it was so different, he felt really active from about 10pm until 12pm I couldn’t sleep as the kicks were so constant and so active compared to nights before. He always wakes up at 10:15 pm but it’s normally calm by about 11 but last night was crazy. Surely there’s no such thing as too much movement? He’s moving about again now and movements fee quite strong at 8am, so hoping nothing is wrong - I wonder if he’s just getting stronger. Is anyone else finding they are feeling very strong movement at this stage too? I’m quite slim was only 8.5 stone before I got pregnant and short at only 5,3, so I wonder if I feel more because of that.

I have a lot of movement, I was getting kicks quite early on and they've got a lot stronger recently, I'm 23 weeks tomorrow, I think we just have very active babies, I've not been told it's anything to worry about 😊 x

I was also getting movement from about 17 weeks and felt him consistently since 20 weeks, he's very active everyday now and growing fine, I don't think its anything to worry about x

At this stage they still don't have a pattern so no need to be concerned is what I'm told but in future when they do have a pattern established then yes there can be such a thing as too much movement and should call up maternity assessment for that

I’ve been able to feel baby since 13 weeks, my partner felt him around 18 weeks and now at 20 weeks he’s constantly jumping around! I can see him moving around xx

Hiya I started feeling flutters around 17weeks and proper kicks by 20 it’s completely normal

My baby has been more active since last night, he won't stop kicking, even now 🤣🤣 he's all over the place. Am 22+4 and I only started feeling him this much since yesterday .I have an anterior placenta so I'll say am lucky 😉

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
