Bouncing already

They say you feel the baby moving sooner the second time around and so far, that seems to be true. I’ve been feeling it for quite a while, especially when I first wake up in the morning. But this is the first time I’m feeling consistent bouncing around, so much so that it’s briefly painful. When I had the ultrasound recently, I saw how it bounced up at regular intervals. I wonder what causes this. Instinct, boredom, development?

Now I feel these bounces as sharp pangs in my lower left abdomen. More than 25 more weeks of this? Yikes.
