Overly Active?

I'm having a boy and I love watching him move around but ever since my 25th week (I'm 30 weeks now) he's been moving nearly nonstop. If I lay on my side, he tries to fight the bed it seems. If I lay something even if it's really light on my stomach, he tries to knock it off. And when I cuddle his father, he's kicking and jabbing him wherever he touches.
Could this be a sign he'll be born with extreme hyperactiveness?

Yes, mine's a mover too and loves to kick dad in the head. Certain positions seem to get more movement but overall I guess he's just super healthy.

Enjoy the movement! Mine does the same thing. And my first did as well. My first is a reader...she can sit for hours and read and she was a gymnast in my belly. On the other hand, she still does love gymnastics! Lol! My second didn't hardly move at all yet she is nonstop now at 5 years old! And on the other hand she loves her sleep! Lol! You just never know what your children are going to be like but their activity during pregnancy doesn't foretell their personality too much.

Oh it's soooo sweet! Mine is moving around all day (and night) long! And when the father touches my belly baby boy is going right inside his hand (it feels like he wents to go out and be cuddled by dad!). I'm a bit stressed so I asked the doctor if that was the reason he was moving that much and he just answered: no he's moving cause he's healthy! And it doesn't mean anything about after his birth! So enjoy it ;)
