Active Active Baby
Does anyone else have a super active baby? I'm just over 20 weeks
pregnant and my little one is CRAZY. The baby moves all over the place and kicks with such fervor my husband is able to feel the kicks. I think I'm in for a spirited one. This doesn't surprise me, I never stop moving. My poor Husband is now running 3 miles a day on the elliptical instead of just 2 to keep up with what he thinks will be coming. |

Doesn't mean that the baby will ncessarily be more active. |Your dh will have 6+ months after the baby is born before the baby's mobile enough to increase the distance he moves over the course of the day by a mile.:-) Debbie |

My mom is convinced that it means I'm going to have a colicky baby. I think she's crazy, considering Colic has little if anything at all to do with activity, but more to do with digestive issues. I just wanted to know if anyone else is having fun with this? |

FWIW - my mom said I drove her nuts in utero. I was her 6th child and most active. And it was a warning sign because I was a spirited and active kid (and adult....) |

Actually, if it's digestive issues, then it's not colic (not to pick too much of a nit) ;-) Colic is fussiness that doesn't have a specific, identifiable cause. Of course, I'm unaware of colic having any relationship to fetal activity either. Some of my babes were very active, but none of them were colicky (thank goodness). I just wanted to know if anyone else is having fun with this? I think we all have had fun with that at times, though sometimes it loses a bit of its luster in late pregnancy when it keeps you from grabbing those few precious hours of sleep!

Oh yeah. I get worried when I don't feel anything for awhile, but then after and hour of constant stabbing, am begging it to stop! |

My first was excessively active inside, in fact we suspect this may have
been what caused me to have preterm contractions. He was a very active newborn, the lack of restriction didn't stop him kicking like it seems to stop most babies. He's very active now, but then so are most 3yr old boys! I don't think my 2nd child at age 1 in any less active than he was but was very different in the womb, still what many people might have considered active though, but I was comparing it to excessive!

Anne This is my first pregnancy so i really have nothing to compare it to other then firends who are pregnant around the same time as me. So far my baby is moving significantly more and significantly more often then my friends babies. I think a high energy child would be the best for me, as long as they are low maintenance in their attitudes like me LOL |

Matthew, my first, was quite active in utero and is now a pretty active 11
month old. His legs start kicking and arms punching the moment he's let out of the sleeping bag and don't let up until he's zipped back into the sleeping bag (it's winter here). Used to make me laugh when, towards the end of the pregnancy, I was sitting in a meeting with pretty serious people and my stomach was doing it's crazy dance. Visible above the table, of course. I don't think too many people noticed, though! If you want to more or less know the activity cycle you can expect when this baby is born, keep a diary of the times of day and night you feel the movement. I think I read somewhere that, at least at the beginning, newborns tend to keep a similar sleep and wake cycle as they have in utero. Some of the movement might let up as your pregnancy progresses and your little one runs out of room for doing laps and has to content him/herself with just punches and kicks, as well as mooning the world (particularly funny, this bump just appears on your stomach and then you realise that the baby is sticking it's bum out!), because there's no room for anything else.

I'm having visions of what life will be like with what one euphemistically calls an "active child." I have a certain amount of trepidation... |
