My baby is extremely active the last two days, usually he was more night active but now I feel him constantly. I´ve tried to look it up on the internet but with no result. Is increasing fetal movement a concern? Should I contact my caregiver or has anyone else experience this ?

Nope sounds to me like you have a very active baby and that's great, that's exactly what you want!! It's when you don't feel movement or you feel a decrease in movement that you want to call your doc. As you get further along you will feel even more movement, your baby will be stronger and there will less room to move so you will be able to feel everything. When I was 31 wks pregnant I had noticed my daughter wasn't as active as she usually was, she usually wakes me up at 5 in the morning by kicking me really hard. Well I called my midwife and she sent me in for a complete ultrasound and non stress test and the baby was breeched with her feet in her face, so since she was so cramped she had hardly any room to move and that position had actually caused her heart beat to not be exactly where it should've been. So they monitored me for a few days and ordered me to take it easy and she finally moved from that position and has been back to her normal self. Believe me that was scary and be very thankful and excitied you feel so much movement. And when you feel a decrease that's when to worry and call your doc for now just enjoy that baby and all that movement. Good Luck & Congrats!!

That is normal, your fine and the baby is fine.
As your baby grows he/she will become very active.
You'll have tiny feet pushing you around and also they can get the hiccup's and do all sorts of acrobatic stunts.
Now become concerned if that movement halts.
Then you might ask your Dr. But sounds like your got a healthy baby coming.
Enjoy the feelings your having
There isn't a thing in this world more wonderful then feeling
your baby exercise.
Good Luck to you

It could be that as he's getting bigger and taking up more space he's finding it difficult to get comfy in there and is wriggling around trying to find a nice position! However, increased fetal movements can be a sign of distress, so I'd ring your midwife or maternity ward and ask their advice. Better to be safe than sorry and all that.

Thanks for the comment on my 360º!
I wouldn't worry at all - they say if there are changes in fetal movement, you should contact your doctor, but from what I can gather, the more worrying "changes" are decrease in movement or less movement with sudden jerky spasmodic movements.
Both of mine moved MORE rather than less in the last trimester. They say the babies move less as they run out of space, but I think mine get bored easily!
Good luck! :-)

it probably is nothing but in my handbook that the doctor gave me it says that if more movement is noticed than usual to give the doctor a call, just ask him/her if they want to see you and go from there. good luck
