movement question

Anyone else getting fewer kicks and jabs these days and more rolls and stretching? Baby is measuring three weeks ahead and I'm measuring right on track so maybe she's just Running out of space more quickly? I kind of miss it a little.

The rolls are much more intense then the small jabs and tickles from before!

Same here: not kicks so much as rolls and stretches and jabs. DH and I sat around last night and watched her feet poke stretch around under my rib cage.

Absolutely! More rolls and stretching so that I get big bulges or feel him kinda slide across my stomach. He's also hanging out up in my ribs a lot (not sure if I'm feeling his head or his butt) so that sometimes I feel like I can't bend over. I can also feel where he's at a lot of the time when I press on my stomach. I don't mind the new movements, because I can feel him moving a lot more in the last week or two.

Absolutely!  I just talked to my midwife about this tonight and she said decreased movement is absolutely normal as long as we still feel some movement.  At this point we will mostly feet rolls, not the sudden jabs of the second trimester. 

 

Just curious - how can the baby be measuring ahead and you measure right on track?  Do you just mean you have a big baby?

Baby's weight and length are measuring three weeks ahead. My fundal height is measuring exactly as it should. In other words, I have a big baby in an average sized ute.

I don't know if I have a super strength baby or just a tight uterus but, I literally have bruises from this baby rolling all the time. I actually lost my breath yesterday when LO did something in there. Felt like I got shot by a paintball gun, not cool little dude. Not cool.

She is definitely jabbing less and pushing more! I wish I knew what was up or down though. When she hangs out in my ribs it is killer... I feel like she dropped cause of the pressure and pain my my groin area but she's still in my ribs??? I don't get it!
