My baby has none stop moved for the past 2 days, at first I loved it but now I’m getting a little alarmed thinking is this normal. He kicks a lot & I feel movement a lot. I am going to try reduce my sugar intake as I do have a sweet tooth. Anyone else has this too ?

Hello,

I’d always check with your midwife if you’re ever unsure about anything in pregnancy. My two were wrigglers, particularly my little boy who would kick his legs so hard and he still does no he’s here! When I was 32 weeks pregnant with the twins, I was kept in overnight to monitor movements because I had threatened pre-term labour but it turned out, the babies were just kicking me so hard, that it had triggered what felt like contractions. Instead, they were just having a party in there! Xx

Hi Greencook, I am also 23 weeks and have noticed my little one moving more the last few days. But if you feel that babies movements have changed at all give your midwife a call its always best to check. X

ahh congrats ! Ok thank you I’ll see how he is today & I might give them a call. I don’t have a specific one I just have to call ‘the midwives’ number at the hospital xx

Hiya, I’m 34 weeks and our baby never seems to stop kicking - hard! Sometimes I yelp out in pain. All good so far so think it’s totally normal xx
