movement, weight, and fundal height!

Is it normal for my baby to move like 100x+ a day? My little guy is so very active. I can see the movements through my stomach. All of the movements are visible through my stomach. I'm 24 weeks and i started at 127 and i am now about 149. The weight gain is a lot, i know, should i worry? Also, i am measuring at 17 or 18 cm fundal height. Is that normal?

My daughter used to move 100+ times a day in the last bit if ny pregnancy..the midwife accused Me of over exaggerating..cow haha but seriously. She's now a very busy one year old! Sine babies are more active than others. Make the most of yr sleep before baby comes..my daughter is sooo busy I'm exhausted haha

Your fundal height should be at or around how many weeks you are if it's not it's not a huge deal as Lon as your doctor doesn't see it as a problem

My little girl is active active active!!! Take a video of it if you can so you have something to show him later on :)

As for the weight gain you are perfectly fine!!! As my dr puts it 1 pound per week for how many weeks I am is completely normal. So you are 24 weeks and have gained 22 lbs. I honestly wouldnt worry about it. I did have 1 month in the middle where I gained like 10 lbs and freaked out but my dr is perfectly fine with it. I am now 39+1 weeks and have gained 41. He said my weight is perfectly fine. Some women gain and some dont. Dont fret over it though. Your baby will take what it needs and if you try and cut back on weight gain you will only hurt yourself and run yourself out of energy. Dont worry you will loose it after the baby is born. My sister lost all her weight in 4 months after she had her son.

As for the fundal height I never was aware of what mine was when my dr was measuring me. But they will let you know if they feel they have a concern.

Just enjoy your pregnancy!! I cant believe I am 6 days from my due date (which I think i will go over anyways as I am not dilating or thinning at all) and it feels like I just found out I was pregnant.

They usually say if you can see a full foot or hand its because you have a thinner uterus than most...and idk about the fundal height I'm sorry wishing you the best :))
