Baby Never Stops Moving!!

by Kym
(Swedesboro, NJ, USA)

I am pregnant and I seem to have a very wold baby. He moves ALL THE TIME!!

If my baby is moving so much inside me, is there something I can do to settle him down? Or should I just let him go?

I get worried that something is wrong or I'm not doing something right? Can it be that he is in pain or something? I am 28 weeks pregnant now.

Please help! =)

Hi Kym!

Actually, the fact that your baby moves is a sign that everything is great. I know it can be tough – our daughter woke me up at night kicking from week 23 of my pregnancy an on! She's still a wild kid...

But basically a moving baby is a healthy baby, so don't worry.

One thing yo can do is to ask for an ultrasound scan at your next health check up if you're still worried. If your baby would be in pain for some reason, the doctor would be able to see that from the way your baby moves, rather than how much he moves.

Also, if it is very uncomfortable it might be nice for you to know that within a month or so, your baby will have grown so big that it will start to become harder for him to move around quite as much.

Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

Get used to it :)

Hello,

When I was pregnant with my son (who is 3 1/2 months old now) I felt the same way and was given the same advice. My additional advice to you would be to enjoy every precious second of feeling that baby inside of you...it is a rare gift and if you are like me, you will miss it terribly once you are no longer pregnant.

If your baby is like my son, the movement will not stop at birth. My little guy sits in his bouncy seat and his little arms and legs just go and go and go...he never tires of wiggling around! Now I'm just trying to prepare my self for when he's walking:0)
