With my first. It looked and felt crazy. My OB explained they can start having a startle response. She is very busy on the outside as she was in the inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frantic-fetal-movement#post-2907347 Tue, 31 Dec 2019 18:32:33 +0000 karenbme 2907347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: 🤷🏻‍♀️ At least she started moving. I’m sure you’re not the first person to have that happen. Glad she started moving 😃 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frantic-fetal-movement#post-2907279 Mon, 30 Dec 2019 23:04:20 +0000 Sams Mom 2907279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@karenbme: @turquoisemama: went to L&amp;D today. She kicked really hard once as they put the monitor on, then waited to party until the doctor walked in 🤦🏼‍♀️ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frantic-fetal-movement#post-2907269 Mon, 30 Dec 2019 22:01:07 +0000 turquoisemama 2907269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: just go in and get checked, that’s what they are there for. No reason to risk it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frantic-fetal-movement#post-2907264 Mon, 30 Dec 2019 20:58:42 +0000 karenbme 2907264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter had one specific spazzy movement that kicked in during my second trimester. I got scared and called the docs because it felt like she was having a small seizure in utero. My doctor thought for sure it was fine. She’s still super wiggly, and shakes her feet sometimes when she’s on her back, which I think is what I was feeling. It’s probably normal. 😃 </p> <p>Also a trick I learned from the high risk nurses, if you’re really worried drink 12-16oz of fruit juice in 5 minutes or less, and most babies will move within 15 minutes or so when all the sugar hits your bloodstream. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frantic-fetal-movement#post-2907221 Mon, 30 Dec 2019 13:57:37 +0000 Sams Mom 2907221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They told me to monitor it today and let them know, I've been really busy at work, but can't recall feeling her all day until just this moment as I typed this. I messaged them back to see what to do saying I hadn't felt her at all today, so of course she decided to kick me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frantic-fetal-movement#post-2907199 Mon, 30 Dec 2019 08:07:29 +0000 wrkbrk 2907199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it makes you feel better my doctor told me that if something is wrong they just quietly stop moving. Frantic movement or “struggling” as I asked about when I was pregnant and paranoid isn’t a thing that indicates issues! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frantic-fetal-movement#post-2907187 Sun, 29 Dec 2019 20:52:40 +0000 nwm 2907187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: the first time I felt it I honestly was afraid my son was having a seizure in utero. Neither of my other two ever moved the same way. I definitely think you should check out any change in movement with your own doc, but at least in my case it was just a baby with a lot of energy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frantic-fetal-movement#post-2907186 Sun, 29 Dec 2019 20:48:46 +0000 Sams Mom 2907186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cake2017: I haven't really started because we were supposed to talk about that at my appointment in a couple days... And I honestly can't remember the rules from last time, 10 kicks in an hour? 2 hours? </p> <p>@nwm: my son was just in perpetual movement, but not anything like this. I don't know if it's a lot less overall or just more concentrated in small bursts... But it's definitely more frantic than anything my son ever did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frantic-fetal-movement#post-2907185 Sun, 29 Dec 2019 20:43:37 +0000 cake2017 2907185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: Are you counting the kicks daily? I would call so I feel better. That’s just me cause I can be a worrier especially with previous experiences. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frantic-fetal-movement#post-2907184 Sun, 29 Dec 2019 20:43:31 +0000 nwm 2907184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely good to talk/check with your doctor especially if there is a decrease in movement but my first was super spazzy and really fast with kicking at times and it turned out he was just hyper and liked to kick. I asked my doctor about it and she just shrugged. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frantic-fetal-movement#post-2907183 Sun, 29 Dec 2019 20:36:18 +0000 Sams Mom 2907183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm almost 31 weeks pregnant and today I've noticed less movement overall, but it's more spazzy/frantic when it happens. Is this something anyone has experienced? Is it of concern? I've messaged my doctor's office, I see him Tuesday, but I don't know if it merits a call to the nurse line or whatever at my doctor's office. </p> <p>I haven't googled yet, and I'm a little extra concerned because of issues I had in my 3rd trimester with my son. But because of that I think I'm more worried than I should be. </p>
