Growth spurts?

Ltlsktl30

I do have a dr.s appointment tomorrow a.m. and plan on asking this --

but as of late, I haven't really felt constant movement as I have for the past 4 weeks.  She's very quiet in there, although I have felt a few flutters,etc.

During growth spurts are babies more sleepy or active? (maybe a dumb question) but thought I would get people's opinion since I don't post much and thought to get a topic started.

TIA!

I don't know if there is scientific proof to this but I believe it.  There are times when our little guy is so quiet that I freak out.  Then a few days go by and all the sudden he is on the move non-stop.

I guess if you think about it, toddlers tend to sleep more when they're going through a growth spurt so why wouldn't it be the same for little babies?

Here's what I've noticed with my little guy.

I get really, really hungry for a day, day and a half and then the baby isn't very wiggly for a day.  A day or two after that my bump gets noticeably bigger and he starts back to wiggling like crazy.  I've decided that when I'm hungry he's growing a ton and then runs out of wiggle room, and that's why he's so calm....it's a very scientific explanation, I know.

It's cliche to say, but a watched pot never boils. I feel your pain on the worry and anxiety, that is until I suddenly get jabbed in the bladder.
