Baby Movements

[nighten]

Just curious...mine seems to be moving a lot more lately. Wonder if that means anything?

This week and last have been about the same, but that is a fairly large jump up from the weeks before that.... Baby moves more OFTEN now... so, for example, Babe is squirming away, and has been for about 20 min. And will do that about 5-7 times a day, where as before, I'd get maybe 5 min 3 or 4 times.

We also are having hiccups about 2-3 times a day!

I think it means Baby is ready to come play!

I said moving less, but should explain. He moves less often, but it is in little spurts now of massive movement. Before he moved all the time but it was little movements. Now my whole belly shakes and strangers can see it. But it comes in little spurts of maybe 5 minutes every hour or so. Make sense?

And we have hiccoughs all the time. Kind of strange having someone hiccough in your rectum...

My babe is moving more. She makes my whole belly roll like crazy. I'm also waking up at night because she's pushing so hard in there. I also feel hiccups several times a day. I usually feel them kind of near my groin, like where my leg bends. It is weird! She moves for longer periods of time now too...like half an hour to an hour sometimes! Does that mean she's going to be awake a lot after she's born? My first baby slept practically all the time for a month, unless she was nursing or getting a diaper change. She was also a month early though.

Mine's doing the same as yours -- awake for a long time at a stretch, though I was told by one nurse that babies move while they're asleep too...But this isn't just little twitches -- this is full body jabs and rolls.

I've read and heard that the schedule they establish in utero is indicative of the one they're have once they're born.

So I can expect a wide-awake infant from 11:30 to 1:00 every night, and again from 4:30 to 6:00....nice.

My little one is definitely moving around a lot. He/she moved all the time, then kinda slowed a while, and now had picked back up. The movement feels like rolling here too, which is frustrating~because my midwife wants me to pay attention to where the kicks are! LOL! We're not yet in position, we don't think. AH! A repeat of my last pregnancy! How much FUN it is to push while someone reaches in and turns the baby! LOL! (((((HUGS))))) sandi
