ADHD or too much caffeine?

Anyone else have an overly active baby? My little one seems to be practicing  karate in my belly! I love it but I'm afraid he/she will come out running! Lol. I'm a second time mom but I don't remember my daughter being so active and even as a toddler she was amazingly calm and well behaved. Could this be a sign for anything?

I feel the same way about my little guy. At 24 weeks he already feels so strong, just wondering how hard those jabs and kicks will get later on.  Ouch!

My first never stopped moving. She was always go go go in the womb. She also rolled over at a month, was crawling at 5 months and walking at 8 months. She is 12.5 Months now and climbs on everything and never stops moving, unless she's asleep. Lol I had almost no caffeine with her pregnancy either.

I was just about to post this exact question! This past week to week and a half my baby boy has become so active! Last night he was kicking around and moving for quite some time. 21w5d today and we're also convinced he will be a little soccer player!

I know the feeling!! I'm pretty convinced my daughter will be a famous soccer player. She has already kicked my Blatter so hard I almost peed my self and has little kicking sprees where it last for hours and sometimes in the middle of the night!

Watch your caffeine intake, to include chocolate, because I believe the recommended dosage is no more than 200 mg/day which roughly equates to 2 x 8 oz cups of coffee. Over activity could be due to an excess consumption of stimulants. Good luck.

Yeah when I had my first child older ladies always said you know you only get lucky once, your next one will be off the walls. I now believe they might be right. Lol. I'm too old to be chasing a toddler. Haha. Jk. I'm sure baby is fine and healthy.

My first was a very active kicker lol. She is always on the go now, just a normal little hyper toddler. This second baby is complete opposite.  She's just chillin in there. Every kid is different!

Some babies are just more active than others. Don't diagnose them before they even come out. My second was like this. Then after he was born, he rolled over at a month, was walking by a year, and is generally very busy. But he is also a good natured little guy who has a normal attention span and that sleeps as hard as he plays.

I'm exactly the same! Pregnant with second girl (23+6) and this one is nuts! lol. Always active and her kicks/punches feel like she's trying to kick her way out.
