2nd Trimester

Active 25-26 weekers....

Are there still days when you are feeling less movement than other days.  I am a teacher and am off for the summer.  The days I am up running errands and hitting the gym (4-5 days a week) I feel LO a lot less.  It has only been the very few days I have stayed in relaxing that I feel little one a lot.  Do you feel llittle one all day every day even if you are running errands, gym, etc? TIA

  • I usually will only feel DS kicking and squirming if I'm sitting or laying down. Every now and then he'll surprise me by kicking while I'm walking, but the majority of the time I don't feel him unless I'm at rest.

  • i feel her pretty consistently every day. some days she is way more active than others, but overall, she still moves a lot. usually i only feel her when i'm sitting still though...probably because when i'm moving, i'm really distracted and not paying attention.

  • He is much more active when I am relaxed.  I've read that because when you are up and moving around, the motion is like rocking the baby to sleep, making them active when you are resting and less active when you move around.
  • I think when you're more active you just don't notice every little kick, you know? If I'm home relaxing I notice them a lot more...

  • I don't think mine LO's movement has varied based on whether or not I go to the gym.  He has active days and not so active days, and I haven't found my activity level dictates it at all.

  • Henry as his active days and less active days.  If I am out and about I feel him a lot less.  Sometimes if I don't feel him for a while I will talk to him and he will give me a kick...that could just be a coincidence though!

    I did not meant going to the gym makes the bbay less active.  I meant when you are more active, working out, running errands, do you feel the baby less because of all the activity you are participating in.

  • Funny you should ask this questions - I've been thinking about this a lot lately.  Basically every night for a few nights in a row, I would wake up in the middle of the night feeling LO kicking but then it stopped and it hasn't happened as much in the last 2-3 days.  But, I think when they finally tell you start counting kicks (around 28 weeks), you're supposed to feel 10 in one hour (you just pick an hour out of the day, not every hour).  If there are any less then you should call the doctor.  I am still feeling 10 kicks in an hour when he is active so I'm not going to worry.  I see the doctor on Tuesday, though, and will probably ask just to be safe.

    It's a little nerve wracking when you don't feel anything - that's for sure!!

  • I always feel movement but some days it is just wiggling and some days it is harder kicks, etc...  Funny enough during yoga she cant stop wiggling around and adjusting.  I would not worry as long as you feel something even if its small- most people dont have to start kick counts until week 28.
  • Oh yeah, this baby DEFINATELY has her lazy days.  She is much more active than my other 2 were but some days she just doens't feel like moving around as much.  Totally fine, except when I WANT her to move for some reason!
  • Most days are consistent, however, ditto many of the previous posts about movement rocking the baby.  I just read about this the other day.  You are supposed to feel baby more during times of relaxation, such as sitting or laying in bed.  Most women won't notice kicking during times of running errands or exercising because their minds are focused at the task at hand.

    My LO has a routine...she is very active in the morning, especially after breakfast (due to sugar in blood), then she kicks sporadically during the day.  At night she'll start to kick a little more but never enough to keep me awake at night.

    Same here. And I have yet to SEE kicks, too.
