The placenta has been in front in both my pregnancies, so I've never experienced the super obvious movements or felt every little kick. That said, my first daughter was very forceful with her movements and I rarely had to worry (she was also macrosomic due to improperly diagnosed diabetes). This one is so quiet, I'm constantly in a state of anxiety worrying about her. I do get my kick counts, but they take FOREVER and I really have to be paying attention (many times I can feel movement with my hand, but not in my actual tummy of that makes sense).
Baby girl is a little more active this morning. None the less, I'm very happy I'm going in for an ultrasound.
Also, while I never had any signs of early labor with my first, I have a feeling this one wants out sooner (even though she could really afford more time than her big sis took). I've been exhausted like no other lately, and just feeling off all together. Big sis is picking up on it I think, because she has been horrendous the past few nights. No one is getting sleep and all she wants is snuggles ALL day (and she isn't sick).
awe, yeah baby girl can sense that I'm sure. that's sweet she wants to snuggle with mom :)
