too much kicking?

hi. i'm 24 weeks pregnant and i feel like i've been kicked straight for hours now. nothing frantic (i mean i don't think it's frantic) but it's steady kicking. more so even when i'm lying down than sitting or standing. could it just be that i need to eat something or drink more? are they just trying to be good boys and actually get head down? is this ok?

 

Sounds like hiccups. They could also just be taking turns on you. Too much kicking is better than none at all.

 

Yea, could be hiccups. Or you had something that is making them a little hyper Orange juice does that
to me sometimes. Could be that time of the day their up and active?

The first thing that came to my mind was the hiccups as well.

 

How do you know the difference between kicks and hiccups?

Hiccups are rythmic and when one of my girls gets them there is like a "lurch" every couple of seconds that goes on usually for a few minutes. My daughters got to feel the other night and were so excited! It isn't like a huge kick, but it is enough to move my book if it is resting on my tummy!

 

i used to think the same thing, but double the amount of babies means double the amount of kicks

 

I got into a huge fight with my husband last night and was really worked up. It worked up the babies and they kicked me non-stop for at least 4 hours (kept me up until 3am).

They've also gone on for a while if I've eaten lots of chocolate.

I agree with a PP that it's better to have too much kicking than none.
