Increased baby movement

I’m 40 weeks tomorrow and for the past week my baby has been moving SOOOOO MUCH!

Baby was already quite active, but it’s been a party for the past week. Is this normal?

Sorry if it’s a stupid question, it’s my first baby x

Don’t apologise!! The amount of questions I’ve asked that felt so silly but it never is! 🥰 I’ve just had my first so I’m not really sure but I think for either reduced or increased movements you can call and they will see you but just call the hospital and ask and they will guide you and puts your mind at ease!! 🥰

Could you keep us updated please? My baby has also had increased movements but no one seems too concerned about it.

Midwife says that it’s normal . Babies are bigger at this stage and don’t have much run, so we tend to feel movement a lot more x

It’s a good thing x
