Significantly Increased Fetal Movement?

[smileygurl85]

My Jellybean is usually quite relaxed and I only feel movement at specific times but for some reason today s/he has been bouncing around out of control. I didn't eat significantly more sugar or have any caffeine so I can't figure out what's going on in there.

My stomach has been achy (gas an upset) for the last couple of days, and whenever I have a BM (tmi - sorry) there is slight bleeding on the toilet-paper.

I know that reduced movement is generally a cause for worry at week (almost) 29 - but should I be nervous about this sudden increase in movement?

I'm also feeling so uncomfortable that I just can't sleep. It's 3:20am and I'm exhausted but wide-awake...

Reduced movement is not really true. Most babys become more active around week 28-30. Mine got super active since then and has yet slowed down. Baby is bigger and getting more squished in there so you feel them move around alot. Movement is probably turning more into moving around, turning etc instead of the kicks in 2nd trimester when they had lots of room

Yeah @ 29 week I notice increase in movements. I agree with what jenniferttc1 said

Thanks ladies! I feel slightly less crazy now. Posted this in the middle of a complete night of insomnia. (Got a 2.5 hour 'sleep' - from 6am-8:30am) and bubs squirmed almost the entire time I was awake. Praying I'll get to nap today!
