Are all babies very active in the womb?

Since the 12 week scan and at the 20 week scan, then on 2 occasions of listening to the heartbeat at very spaced apart appts the baby is very active and moves around loads. Since feeling movement I’ve found the baby moves throughout the day and night with some rest periods.

As a first time mum I don’t know- Are all babies like this or is mine particularly a live wire already 😆

Not all but some! I didn’t feel my daughter move till I was 7 months, and she moved enough but not a ton, but with my little boy now I started to feel him at 14 weeks and he never stops 😂 29 weeks now and he la constantly doing flips and kicks and whatnot 😂

I’m on pregnancy 3 and I can say it depends. I had one of each (only 14 weeks now and feel her some but the fun hasn’t fully kicked in yet). My first daughter was constantly contorting my stomach and moving around.... she was fond of sticking her toes between my back ribs and using them as leverage to stick her back out, I could literally see her spine and hold her little body and then she would flip side to side. My son moved and kicked some but nothing like his sister. He was super chill in my belly... but that was his personality after birth too.

I think it depends on the baby or how your carrying. My daughter was super super active. She would keep me up all night. Her kicks were so strong too. My son is active but not to the point that it keeps me up. His movements are more gentle.

It varies from baby to baby my 1st was super active all the time, my second was a lazy baby-I ended up in MAU soo many times checking in on him! Now pregnant with 3rd (19+4) and I feel like this one is going to be an active baby!

My second is now and absolute live wire and always full of beans 😂 my first is now much more chilled she loves nothing more than relaxing with me 😂

Does there level of active-ness usually continue after there born or can they be much different? Is mine going to be a live wire in other words 😂

I just had my 12 week scan and the technician said baby was the jumpiest they’ve seen in a while! She assured me that it’s normal just working extra hard on muscle development! (:

Night terrors and sleep paralysis

I’m starting to have really bad night terrors and I think sleep paralysis, I sleep with the baby in my room but I’m still having vivid dreams of the baby and in all of them it’s someone taking him or taunting me using him against me I guess, and I can’t speak in my dreams even though I try to and I’m just stuck there watching it, then before anything happens even though in my mind I know what was going to happen, I wake up really fast sweating and crying. But I constantly feel like what was in my dream is actually here watching me and sometimes it’s like I know something is there. I don’t know if it’s daft but I’m scared to leave the baby alone in a room when he’s asleep because I’m scared the thing will take him or something..

CRACKED THE MORNING SICKNESS!!!!

I have cracked it girls! I have found having a few sips of Diet Coke throughout the day here and there really helps manage my sickness and nausea feeling. Honestly if your really struggling like I have please try it! It has been my life saver throughout the first trimester!

am I in labor? 38 weeks 5 days first baby!!

hii!! this may be a little long but if you can help find out what's wrong please..it's gratefully appreciated. I started having contractions around 6 am this morning and they haven't stopped at all. not consistent... sometimes 6 min apart sometimes 10 but it has been happening all day and have gotten stronger. now at the point where it's getting hard to talk or move to be comfortable. I went to the hospital...they seemed very rude to me and honestly made me feel like I was just being dramatic. when she checked my cervix it didn't even feel uncomfortable like it usually does just like she put a finger up there and said I was only 1cm...which I've been since Monday as I know of. she didn't even tell me what percentage effaced I was which was weird but whatever. I left the hospital crying...the contractions got stronger but still not in the timing it needs to be. its getting stronger but not closer together. I get home and my mucus plug started to come out and the contractions just got worse and worse BUT STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. I took a shower and I felt a on and off leak happening. I didn't push it out it just felt like a little bit of pressure like I needed to pee kinda then a little gush. this happened twice but not a big gush and honestly it was just a little bit.i feel so tired but everytime I try and sleep the contractions start again. they still happen when I walk and honestly it feels worse...it's also just not in my stomach it is in my back too!! I've tried all 4s and standing up and laying on my side but nothing helps. I don't know if I'm being dramatic or if this is labor and I should go to another hospital....I just don't want to be sent home for nothing but I have to be dilated more then a 1....no way a one is this bad....if it is I have a worse problem on my hands!!! I'll post some pictures of the contraction times I've been getting. thank you so much for reading. if you can help...even better!!

Nosebleeds third trimester?

Is anyone else experiencing nosebleeds once they hit their third trimester!? Ive never had one in my life. It started at 29 weeks and I feel like I have one once a week now - I am 31 weeks. They arent heavy and last like 2 minutes if the air is dry but still 😫

Thoughts 38+1

I just experienced a seriously painful stomach pain when I turned over to my left side in bed. I had slept of my right side the whole night then moved to my left and the pain was in my stomach area (middle) It felt so awful literally like a stab inside my stomach. Baby is moving fine. Should I be concerned or is this normal BH
