Movement question

schnookee · May 2014

Ive still been having movement but it's been a lot different than what it was. Some of it is barely noticeable and not as strong as it was. Have any of you notice any change in movement too or is it still the same?

I am feeling the same thing today. I think my little one is in some strange position (breach? facing my back?). I have an anterior placenta, so that can make it harder to figure it out. I hope she moves soon so I can feel those lively kicks. They are reassuring!

Not to sound stupid but can the placenta become anterior this late? I had an ultrasound two weeks ago and they didn't say anything about me having that.

The amount of movement I notice varies by day. My placenta is posterior, but if the baby turns that way or kicks that way I won't feel as much as when she kicks towards my front. I also think she just has some days where she is way more active than others. Or maybe it is that I am so busy that I am not noticing the movement as much.

Sometimes the baby has a lazy day. Sometimes the kiddo is in a weird position. Also, the further along we get, the less room there is. Poor cramped baby isn't going to be able to extend and follow through with those punches anymore.

I knew the space starts to get limited I just wasnt sure when it happens. There has been days where the movement varies but this has been consistent for the past couple of days. Guess the little bugger is getting bigger! I really can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going.

I think over the past few days I've felt her hiccup more than her punches and kicks, lol. Its crazy to think they are already running out of room but its true! I agree about it going fast…I feel like all of a sudden time is on fast forward!

Ive been feeling the same way the past few days...actually went into l&d one night because I was so nervous

feeling tons of hiccups but not as much movement and def more rolls than kicks. Im also feeling it a lot lower now.

My doc told me movement slows down when momma has a busy day. If your moving a lot it's almost like rocking the baby to sleep is how she explained it. Once I lay down at the end of a crazy work day I feel our little guy moving a lot. But, I was also told movement slows sometimes and isn't as noticeable toward the end of pregnancy because there's less room for them to move.

I'm 31 weeks today and she's more active than ever. (I'm pretty sure she was either playing the bongos or running in her sleep in there earlier.) I'm also noticing that she's getting on a schedule with her movements.

30 weeks and same here. He's not active all day long, but when he's in an active period I feel like we're going to have an "Alien" moment.

I too have been feeling a lot more rolls and turns than kicks. He did have a busy movement day two days ago though so he's probably resting. I usually feel the biggest movements in the morning right when I wake up. This morning it was much more subtle and I can only imagine it was little arms moving instead of the power kicks that I've come to expect.

Thank you for asking, OP... And to all PPs for your words of wisdom. This is exactly what I signed on to TB this morning to find out!

My movements have also changed quite bit. It certainly feels more like stretching now and less like kicking. She pushes out so hard on one side that I can see how lob sided my belly is. And I often try gently rubbing at my stomach to get her to settle lol. It can be quite uncomfortable. Then there are days when is still get nice little kicks, that are actually quite painful, especially when they're aimed at my bladder. And then, there are days when she seems soooooo quiet that I often find myself worrying some. There would be movement, but so limited, so at least it wouldn't go insane with worry. I remember going on to google to read up about lack of movement, as there were just some days I didn't think that I would get 10 in an hour. There were many articles that said that babies are little humans too and some days they just have quiet, tired days. Especially when you may have been very busy yourself, so that really put my mind at ease.

Baby seemed to check out for 24 hours. Nurse had me count to ten kicks in an hour but I only got to four in that time. I had sweet iced tea, cold water, and a sugary snack, with no change. Normally he mucky when I lie on my side but not last night. They brought me in for a sonogram today and my dh rushed home to the appointment and then he got all kicky after lunch about twenty minutes before the exam. Turns out he switched spots and he's gone from breech to head down. It was nice getting to see him, super reassuring.
