I don't remember either one of my boys being this active. Its like clockwork when this baby moves and the number of times they move too.

I can see my tummy move from the outside! I see rolling movements, sharp kicks and possibly giggles.

Perhaps they are doing water ballet, or playing water polo? haha

My only complaint is sciatic pain that just came on last night! Totally annoying. I can't find a comfortable position in my computer chair, OR in bed.

Me too! The movement has been constant for weeks now and it's strong enough to for me to sometimes yell out! We've been seeing the action from the outside too. I can't imagine how it will be once it gets even bigger.....

Are we having the same pregnancy? I can't see movement much from the outside, I don't think this baby flips around like my other girls did but she (I believe, judging from the u/s where she was head down) punches me nonstop in my lower abdomen. Usually right in the bladder! ALL THE TIME.

I am seeing my chiro on tuesday. This sciatica is killin' me! I can barely walk. Every position is uncomfortable.

I feel for you Linds. I'm sure mine isn't as bad as yours. I'm think I'll look into a chiro in a couple days if it doesn't get better.

Right now I'm being kicked in the cervix. I'm NEVER going to get used to that feeling hahah.

Om - Last night I was laughing at BabyLove because the movements were so strong as I was relaxing in bed. I was talking to them 'what are you doing in there? you having a party?' They just kicked back real hard as if to say 'YES MAMA!'

My first ds totally felt like a soccer player. This one has just started really revving up his movements the last few days. I just saw him from the outside today for the first time! So cool. I haven't gotten those cervix kicks yet - I hated that last time. I always said it felt like he was breakdancing (doing a head-spin) on my cervix...ugh.

My DS1 was like that, he was out of control in the womb moving constantly. 6 years later and he hasn't stopped!

 

[Raene]

I hear you with the sciatica! Ugh. It's awful.

As for mine, I have a volleyball player inside! She was actually holding her arms in volleyball position during the u/s and then bonking me with them. Lol.

Tulula, I am glad you are going to the chiropractor to get some relief! I know you have been in pain for awhile!

Yes, I also have a little soccer player that likes to punch/kick me in the bladder. I keep thinking the next time he does that I am going to pee my pants. Especially while I was waiting for the ultrasound and trying not to pee my pants anyay

He was very active during the ultrasound. So much so, they couldn't get a good picture....Maybe I should quit drinking coffee? I only have 1 cup a day, I don't know if I can give it up.....I can't see the movements from outside yet...Maybe because I am only 20 weeks (at the end of the month)

ahh, I remember why, my placenta is on the front of the uterus, blocking things...Tulula, maybe you have the same thing?

FINALLY RELIEF!

I slept with my body pillow and an extra pillow between my knees last night, apparently it was the right amount of space to stop the nerve from hurting.

I woke up not in pain! YAY. I do know I need to get a birth ball to sit on when I'm at the computer, so that's next on the list.
