Baby movements are overwhelming

I want to start by saying I am so grateful my baby is healthy and developing as she should be but she is moving and wiggling CONSTANTLY.

I mean more or less all day every day from the moment I wake up to when I go to sleep kicks and rolls. It is so lovely to feel but at the same time I’m finding it so overwhelming. I’m 30 weeks so have 10 weeks to go (at least!) and I feel I’m just wishing away the time because it is so over stimulating 🫠

Hoping someone can relate and I’m not a horrible witch for getting upset over a healthy happy baby 😭

Has it come on recently?

I’m 31+1 and the past few days she’s been SO full on. I’m pretty sure it’s a growth spurt so it’s not like this constantly, it wasn’t with my first anyway! I just remember certain weeks I’d feel so much movement and then it would quite down for a bit😵‍💫🤣

It’s making me feel exhausted!?

Mines been moving constantly since about 24 weeks, I’m now 31 weeks and where he’s a lot bigger sometimes it can be super overwhelming, and sometimes painful because of his position lol, I’m also counting down the days 😂

I really feel you on this one. I do wonder if it is sensory sensitivity but I have always found kicks and movements to be too much. It really feels like being pummelled and I can't ignore the discomfort 😞 Sometimes it makes me yelp in shock because it's like being winded. We've just got to get through 😩

This is my 2nd but I didn't feel my first baby nearly as much as this one (due to excess fluid and 2 placentas he was really floating around in there not touching the sides!) it's very different and slightly overwhelming at times. Always gets really active when I lay down for bed too 😭

🍼20 week scan 🤰

Could do with some opinions and advice! 💗

If you had your 20 week scan, and went by yourself with your toddler as your partner couldn't get time off, and at least 6 hours went by and your partner didn't ask how the scan went. How would you feel?

Oh and now 13 hours later he hasn't asked to see the picture of the scan🤣

For me, this is kind of the icing on the cake for me as I've been questioning whether or not we should continue being together for various reasons, which includes him just not being a man I can depend on!

Postpartum bleeding

I am 2 weeks postpartum after c section and I bled for about a week, it then stopped, it has now come back again but I don't think it's a period as it's very on and off, is this normal?
