I'm starting to wonder (and worry just a little) because LO's movement is crazy nonstop! Every time any doctor has tried a doppler lately they've only heard movement and when I was in triage for monitoring they had to stop because all they could pick up was movement. They've all commented on how active he is.
So I'm wondering, if your baby was a mover and shaker before birth was he/she also really active after?

In a word: yes 
He used to wake me up for 4am dance parties, and that continued after birth! And now at 16 months, he still never stays still.

Yes. Chloe moved non-stop when I was pregnant and it worried me like crazy if I didn't feel movement during a time I normally would, or if she went awhile without moving.
She has been moving non-stop since she was born. She's been a curious baby from the start & doesn't like to miss anything -- very much so like how she was during my pregnancy. And, like my pregnancy, I worry a lot when it's quiet or I don't hear her moving. I know she's up to no good!
This baby was identical to Chloe at the NT scan. My friend is a sonographer at the hospital & she did both kids; She remembered Chloe & told me I'm in trouble with this one, too!

Uh oh! I've got a partier too! One day the midwife said "let's hope he tires himself out before he comes out!" Haha oh dear.

Nope, I had a very active baby in womb, and she was a sleeper when she came out, I had to wake her to feed her all the time in the beginning. However now...she doesn't stop moving from the moment she wakes up!

Yep! Constantly kicking/moving during pregnancy, and she's been the same outside of the womb

Yup! DS is 7 months and he loves to bounce and move and jump. Even his daycare teachers are amazed at how much he moves compared to his peers!

Yes! I had twins, one side was pretty chill, didn't kick as much (so little that sometimes I was concerned) and overall seemed just cozy & relaxed. The other side was complete opposite. She constantly kicked (hard!), rolled, moved, and was difficult to pin down during ultrasounds & monitoring. They are four months and their behavior has definitely continued. The less active side is definitely more relaxed and just wants to be cuddled. The other side is just a ball of energy, constantly moving around, kicking, and wants to see everything!

Uh oh...then I guess we are in trouble!! My babe always hits twice the number of kick that the doctor likes to see, so yeah...

I don't know that she's a mover, but she definitely wasn't a sleeper...
honeydew / 7504 posts
Yes and no. D was super active on the inside. He has always been active - lots of kicking and waving and flapping his arms. BUT he also sleeps very well - has STTN since 5 weeks. So when he's awake, he's active. But he's not so active that he doesn't sleep.

Yes! He has always been non-stop and has never slept well. This second baby seems even more active so i'm starting to get nervous.

@Greentea: Hahaha, trying to figure out what to do with such a wild child
honeydew / 7667 posts
Not really. She was crazy active in the womb but seems pretty normal now.

Yes! At the 20 week ultrasound, the tech said we were ”in trouble” and we laughed...turned out, she was right! We have a frenetic little guy!

No! She moved like CRAZY in the womb. My SIL even scared the crap out of me because she said her son was like that and frankly, he's preeeeeetttty hyperactive. But she's a chill baby, just likes to take things in.

Yikes! We have a big time mover in there, too. Even the doctor has commented on it during appointments!

on the opposite spectrum, my daughter was not active at all. i could barely get 10 kicks out of her in an hour. towards the end i had to get a couple non-stress tests bc she moved so little. turns out she was just a deep sleeper in there! and shes the same outside the womb as well! calm, observant, cautious, and a great sleeper. now i'm pregnant with #2 and at 15 weeks i already feel alot of movement... i'm scared!!

Yes! She never.stopped.moving. She would kick at the transducer whenever I got u/s or dopplers. She had been a non stop wiggler since birth. Good luck!

Yes! I would even call some of his movements violent at times in the womb. He squirms constantly now that he's out and loves to flail his arms and legs...making it difficult to diaper change, dress him, nurse him, or even put a paci in his mouth.

Oh yes. She is a wiggle worm. She can't crawl yet, but if we put her on her belly she flails her legs and arms all around like she's trying to swim...it's pretty funny.

Uh oh! I'm in trouble. This little guy moves almost constantly. Big rolls and kicks. It makes me jump sometimes.
The only time he stops is when I am trying to catch my belly move on camera, ha!
hostess / papaya / 10219 posts
Yes. He'e been active since I was 17 weeks pregnant. Hasn't stopped yet and he is almost a year old.

DD1 was very mellow in the womb and she is SO active outside. DD2 is very active in the womb, so I'm curious to see if the opposite will be true this time.

Yep. Ball of energy in the womb has equaled super focused ball of energy now at 11 months. She has always been very aware of her surroundings and very "with it", if that makes sense.
pomegranate / 3516 posts
Yes, she was active in the womb and is still active. I always tell everyone that I knew her name fit her before she came out because her name means "life" and she's always been completely full of life.

@preggomeggo82: The main time my LO would stop was when they were doing an ultrasound and I wanted to see her moving. I say she was shy but I partially think she already knew how to mess with me!
