Baby movement

I an currently 33 weeks and 4 days and it has seemed like these past couple weeks my babies movement have became weaker not stronger . What do you ladies think that could mean . ? I'm worried but he is still moving and I go to the Dr friday just trying to get some advice before hand .

Re: Baby movement

  • As baby runs out of space, he/she will move less often.  But I'm not sure if that's what you mean by "weaker".  If those strong kicks are now gentle flutters and you're not feeling him/her move too much, you may want to get checked out sooner than Friday.

  • Yes , i get the moving less but I mean his kicks are not as strong as they use to be . I use to be able to see his movements if I watched my stomach now I am barely able to feel them with my hand . He is still moving a bunch he just isn't moving as strong .
  • I would think if they have less room then it wouldn't be as hard of a movement since they can't really pull their leg back and jab ya!

  • Maybe baby just turned and is kicking inside instead of outward. I don't bet feet kicks or jabs on the outside, only shifts and rolls.

  • I've read that the further you get the stronger the babies kicks feel . I should be able to set something light on my tummy when the baby is in a kicking attack and he should be able to move it but I can barely feel his movement with my hands thank you ladies for your help I will just have to talk to my Dr on Friday she knows best .
  • If you are concerned, I would call the doctor now and see if he/she wants you to wait until Friday.

    I'd at least call your doctor ahead of time and ask what he/she thinks
  • My Dr office is closed I will have to call tomorrow and most the time when i call with any concerns she just sends me to the er and they would be telling me the same thing she can tell me Friday I would just be sitting there for 6 hours .
  • Your doctors office down have an after hours line? Are you concerned that the kicks/movements aren't happening as often or they aren't as strong? My girl hasn't been a kicker per se but she does roll around a lot which may be what you are feeling instead. But if you are genuinely worried then I would go see a doctor even if that means going to L&D or the ER
  • It does but they will just leave a message for the Dr which I have used before and got no response back . The kicks and movement are still happening a lot his kicks just aren't as strong anymore he use to kick and jab me a lot harder then he is now . And I don't know if it could mean he is becoming weak and something is wrong or if it has something to do with the lay he could be laying . I am going to my Dr on Friday I mean he is obviously still moving around in there but just not as strongly as he use to move he use to move and would make my whole stomach bump up with what ever he is moving and at like 30 weeks or so his movements like that stopped and they are very light movements I can't see with my eyes nor barely feel with my hand I can only feel them in my belly.
  • I had this same thing about 2 weeks ago I was 30 weeks I was still getting my ten kick per hour in but they were not nearly as strong as usual. Before when I felt movement I could feel and see my belly move from the outside and I was barely feeing them in the inside. I called my dr and she had me go to L&D so I did I was only there for about an hour they did a NST and an ultrasound to check the fluid levels everything was fine. It couldn't hurt to just call and let your dr know what's going on.
  • I am gonna call tomorrow either she will tell me to go to the hospital or wait till Friday .

    I did the same thing. I pulled a muscle in my belly and hadn't felt the baby move in a few hours. I was so relieved after I went to L&D and had a NST.
