Fetus movements at 17 weeks...

[stressed out]

I'm 17 weeks pregnant with my second baby and the last week or so i have felt the baby really moving around... I know that if you don't feel the baby moving it's not a good sign but what about if it's moving about all the time?

Thanks x

Hi that is perfectly normal, the baby at 17 weeks is small enough to be doing gymnastics in your womb, constantly, its as they get bigger the space becomes more limited.

Dont worry, my first was a real dancer in the womb.

hi, its fine, my baby iam expecting now was felt by myself at 11 weeks and at around 14 weeks she got stronger and has not stopped since! She is very active all the time and i was told that was all perfectly fine and not to worry, now i am 32 weeks it means i dont need to worry about my kick counter lol

Oh and i am afraid that although space may be limited i am still being booted all the time and it has just become slightly more painful and the movements are different :-D

As long as your baby's moving you've got nothing to worry about hunni, Wait till it's kicking you in the ribs!!

ooh lore, nice isnt it! My bubs wasnt kicking my ribs yesterday but putting her feet there and pushing! As she is engaged it felt like she was making a bid for freedom, lucky i have the stitch!

It's fantastic Boobs, my little one seems to think it's Newcastle's next number 9 just now. :o)

lol!! Thanks guys, i feel a bit more reassured now although the little mite is a right fidget! lol...
With my son as he was my first pregnancy i think i felt him move in the 3rd trimester. I know with the second you feel them earlier and you know what the movements feel like. But it was horrible nearing the birth as he was kicking me in the ribs alot!
This one seems a happy little one, either that or i have a trampoline in there too! lol! x
Thanks again, i'll let you know the progress.x
