Sorry if this is foolish but I need my nerves settled

Baby Caitlin has been less active the last couple of days with the move. Is this normal?

She is kicking but not as much as usual throughout the day. Or perhaps i have been too busy to notice as much?

Or perhaps at 28 weeks there is less kicking due to space constraints?I do feel her moving in there...just not kicking as much.

Its probably space..I think when I was 27 close to 28 I started to think of the same thing..now she punches a little more than she kicks but it seems she rolls and squirms and sometimes I dont even feel her move unless I have my hands on my belly..

Most likely its space, but if you're super nervous drink orange juice and then lay on your side for awhile. The drink will wake her up a little and should get her moving more for awhile.

The doctor told me to eat or drink something and then sit down. You should feel about ten kicks in an hours time. Any less then that, let your doctor know. I am sure she is fine. GL!

Drink OJ or ice cold water or eat something, lay down and see how long it takes to get 10 kicks. Shouldn't take more than an hour. At 28 weeks I really doubt it's space. Even when it is space you still get 10 kicks within an hour.
