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 😂

First time mom too, 24w and my girl has been moving around like crazy the last couple weeks

Mine was suuuuuper active!

Yes!! Little peanut is jumping all over the place.

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! (:
