questions for moms

Just a question for any moms or dads out there…

I’m due in late June early July so the kid is really active right now IMO, but maybe you can tell me if this is normal or odd.

<o></o>
Here are some of the things its doing…

Jared, my husband, had his hands on either side of my belly and the kid hit both of his hands at once.

The midwife hasn’t been able to get a heart rate for going on 3 months now cause the kid wont let her…it moves away, kicks at her hands, kicks the sensors and scopes off my belly completely…this kid will keep it up for as long as anyone tries, the longest being just under 20 minutes. And they can’t use any Ultra Sound because the kid will go berserk for over an hour after!!!

It will push out with both feet and both hands at the same time so I have four distinct bulges on the front of my belly.

It bounces around like it’s playing a game of pong, but taking on the roll of the ball.

It will press ever so gently on my tummy or bladder until it hits about what feel like the middle, and then all bets are off and I get a rather good blow to the center of my tummy or bladder.

<o></o>

I don’t remember any of my nieces or nephews doing things like that, but they may have just been quite kids. So take a minute and tell me your story…please, casue I'm still a at this.

<o></o>

I think I speak for all here right now. We don't know, and the sad part is all the women posters are out having a good time.

I wish I could help but kids are still a ways off for me and none of my close friends have had kids yet either. Sorry, good luck though!

It sounds like he/she is shy.. Doesn't want his picture taken..

If I remember correctly this seems normal at this stage.. It has been a few years since my kids popped out of their mother..

Some kids are just more active than others.

What kind of foods you eating? It could be contributing to this..

What does the doctor say?

We are not experts. Especially in this field.

You might find your answer on Webmd also.

Good luck..

Don't worry...my Mom says she thought I was gonna punch my way out. Everything turned out okay.

My daughter wasn't too active, until/unless my wife had either ice cream, or chinese food. Funny thing is, my daughter LOOOOVES that stuff, and has ever since she could chew.

Come to think of it, babies in utero can be more active if something very cold or very hot is eaten...y'know, like hot or cold beverage. Try tracking what you've been doing/eating before the big show starts, you might discover something.

It's also possible that you are tensing up ever so slightly before the handling/ultrasound, and the baby is reacting.

Have fun, you've got a "live one" .

Both mine used to go crazy in there...my first son had TWO knots in his cord when he was born! The means two loop-dee-loops at some point...fortunatley his cord was about three times the normal length so they never tightened up...when the midwife saw it she asked for a jar of formaldahyde to save it for the class she taught because it was so rare...yes all the kicking and such at this stage is normal...when space starts getting a little more cramped her in the next two month you'll see less running around.

I don't think it has anything to do with food cause the kid will start in at 3 or 4 in the morning when I've been out cold. And this is an almost daily thing regardless what I eat.
I'm starting to think that the kid is taking after its father...Ford_Six...


I know everything is ok with the kid...it just seems odd to me. Then again this whole thing kinda makes me think about the part in Alien where the alien popped out of the guys stomach.

I don't have a clue about what's going on with you and your child, but I just want to say thanks for having kids. I mean this world would be sparsley populated if it weren't for you ladies. Men could not handle it. We would totally lose it and go screaming into the street! I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad you do.

Seems normal to me especially how far along you are. My son was very active and the only time I got worried was when there was no movement!
