Hyperactive fetus ?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
There was a sudden increase in my baby's movements since 36 weeks.It's the 5th day today when she doesn't stop moving around.
It happened around 26 weeks,28,32 and few times between but the hyperactive period didn';t lasted more than 2-3 days.Now as i said,it's been 5 days.

I even went in for monitoring and except 2-3 mild decels which returned to normal in 5 seconds,everything was fine.The baby';s hr was considered as reactive.

Anyone else experienced sudden increase in the movements?
My doctor doesn't seem to worry about it but i am coz i read that many women experience the same before all the movements stopped.

Any thoughts?
Thanks

I am first time mama and I'm not as far along as you so I'm definitely not an expert but my baby goes through hyperactive periods. I noticed it usually happens during periods of slow growth. When I gain a lot of weight over a short time she slows [I]way[I] down but after my belly stretches out and catches up to her growth she gets really active for a few days. I think it's because when she's growing fast my belly can't keep up with her and she gets really constricted. Then when she slows down my belly catches up and she has more room and she celebrates for a few days. Just my theory though
