{Dear Baby} Baby movements, baby kicks

I've just blogged about baby flutters and coincidentally, I've been experiencing a lot of baby movements since yesterday.
It's a lot more frequent than the previous times.

It used to be a few hiccups and kicks in the morning when I'm awake, somewhere around 3 plus, 4o'clock, and at night from about 10pm.

Yesterday, I was hiding in the room and sitting down the whole time because of the haze.
I don't know if it was Baby feeling uncomfortable but I noticed an increase in the frequency of the movements. I was even jabbed hard on my right side twice. I thought Baby was uncomfortable.

Today, the movements were even more prominent.
It's like Baby is moving all the time.
Not the usual hiccups.
They are tumbles. And swooshes across the tummy. And jabs.
I don't know if Baby indicating its discomfort because I'm sitting down the whole time.
I tried to lie down more, so that Baby can get more comfortable. But the movements persist.
I don't know if I should walk around more to rock Baby to sleep.
What if Baby doesn't get enough sleep?

I was a little concerned.

I spoke to Mummy. Mummy says it's good that Baby is active. :)
I spoke to Daddy, telling him my concerns. Daddy says Baby is growing.
I spoke to Hubby. Hubby says it's good Baby is active. :) Talk to Baby more.
I spoke to a Yj and learnt that this is very common. Especially now at 5 months.
And I found out that I should start to monitor Baby's movements and alert the doctor if the movements decrease.
(Always speak to a new mum to ease your doubt)


Oh Baby!
You are growing.
Mommy is really happy.
I'm sorry I'm still getting used to the movements. Your kicks and tumbles.
I don't mean to ignore all the movements but I don't think I can possibly talk to you with each movement like I used to.
I'm sorry if I get a little irritated.
I'm just a little angry at myself for (possibly) making you uncomfortable.
It's a learning experience for me.
And probably for you too.
I'll embrace each kick and each swoosh and every tumble.
Because with each of that, I know you are there, inside me, growing well.

I love you, Baby.
