My first babe was SO BUSY that this time around I keep freaking out that this LO is not as busy. Anyone else have a second baby that was much less active?
-
I don't know that I'd call this one less active, but since the placenta is in front this time, I definitely feel him a lot less!
I wouldn't worry. I'm sure every babe is different.
-
Do you have an anterior placenta?
My first was less active than my second, but I had anterior placenta's with both and that can make movement harder to feel. I think I only felt my second more because she was transverse the majority of the pregnancy.
-
@littlebittyhouse: are you more busy this time? I remember with my 1st I sat around a lot feeling the baby but with #2 I had a toddler to chase and I think I just didn't have time to feel the baby as much -
-
Me. I never get 10 kicks per hour, my midwife told me the most important time is between dinner and bed. She said if I don't get 10 kicks in that hour go straight to L&D but other than that she said it may just be that you are busier day to day and don't notice them as much.

I had an anterior placenta with my first one, so he was less active because of it. This guy is super active because I have a posterior placenta this time. @anbanan15: This pregnancy, he's tranverse right now at 33 weeks still. I feel head butts and side kicks so much. He's making my ability to go to the bathroom tough. It feels like his feet are always by my bladder.

@ValentineMommy: @anbanan15: 2nd time with an anterior placenta so maybe this time it is just blocking it more?
@Mamaof2: TRUTH in this. I barely feel her on days that I am busy! There is much less time I am finding to think about it.
@cascademom: the head butts! right into my hipbone usually!
-
@littlebittyhouse: My first was a mover and a shaker in the womb. He was constantly moving! My second, she never moved it felt like! She was definitely much less active. But, like @Mamaof2: it could have been because I was chasing around a very young toddler(my LOs are 15 months apart). If I was moving, she was sleeping. She's the same way now at almost 2, rocking and movement put her to sleep. When I was around 7 months pregnant with her, we went to the Toronto zoo, I didn't feel her move once the entire time we were there. I started freaking out a little. Once we got in the car, blasted the AC and I chugged some water, she started moving.

My twins (babies 2 and 3) moved far less than ds1 but I blamed that on lack of room in my uterus. If I ever got worried I just dopplered them both.
-
@cascademom: oh the joys of pregnancy! She kept popping from breech to transverse, but in the end was head down but high. I remember my midwife saying at the very end how she couldn't find the head lol.
-
@anbanan15: I'm hoping that he goes head down by the end. I have about 3 weeks to have him go head down before doing an ECV. Today, my mom said to have conversations with him to get him head down.
-
Yep. And #2 is a much more content, calm baby.
-
@jetsa: That's good to hear! That's when mine is the most active! Otherwise he's pretty calm during the day but I think that's b/c I'm more active at times.
-
@Weagle: I am secretly hoping this to be true ha ha #1 is a firecracker in the best way possible but it would be nice to have one of each!
