38 Weeks And Less Movement From Baby.... Posted: 02-23-06 19:56pm
I am 38 weeks as of yesterday and the past
couple of days it seems to me the baby
isn't moving as much as before. She was
extremely active before, but lately has
settled down. I do still feel her quite a
bit, just nothing like before and I was
wondering if this is normal? I also
noticed today, that my stomach moved, yet
I didn't feel anything....Is that normal?
Thanks for any advice. I was scheduled
for an appointment today, but my doctor
was in the .O.R, so they rescheduled me
for this coming tuesday. Thanks for any
replies!

Baby is probably just running out of room
in there and can't move around as much.
I'm sure its nothing to worry about.

I am 39 weeks pregnant and the same thing
started happening to me at around 37 weeks
and even up until now. The doctor told me
that it is perfectly fine. As long as you
still feel your baby move everyday you
have nothing to worry about...If you are
worried in the least bit you can have your
doctor send you for a stress test at the
hospital=) best wishes

Thanks for the support ladies!!! Not 10
minutes after I wrote that she started
squirming like you wouldn't believe! As
if she was saying "chill out ma! I'm just
running out of room!" I don't think I can
wait for another 11 days, she better not
be late! I am not for sure, but I *think*
she's starting to drop. I feel a lot more
pressure on my bladder it seems (not sure
if that happens when baby drops or not
tho) and as I was walking through the
store tonight I felt a little more
pressure in my lower abdomen. Don't know
if it was from walking so fast and furious
to find the bathroom, or she's starting to
drop. Thanks again ladies!

ture, but I did read it on a pregnancy
site.

I am now 40 weeks and 4 days and i'm
bigger than I want to be!!! I can't even
tie my shoes :(
but i'm going in to be induced early
tomorrow morning (if they don't have too
many other gals in labor)
so maybe your little one is just about
"done" maybe you won't go past your due
date. I didn't show much until late in my
pregnancy, and I didn't feel her until 20
some odd weeks either. So I kinda had a
feeling i'd go past my due date. Good
luck!

Thanks samantha!!!
I am so excited to take pictures of her!
I don't have a digital camera, or a
scanner. So my mom is looking for my
brothers digital camera for us to use. So
i've got my fingers crossed that someone
can find it! If not we want to get one
anyways, just not sure when. Soon
hopefully! If nothing else I can take a
few pictures with my cell phone and do it
that way.

I am no Dr. But maybe if you drink a
little soda with caffeine or maybe it is
resting for the big day!
Thoughts are with you!
Good luck!

I'm 36 weeks and i've noticed the same
thing. But as long as I feel movement
throughout the day i'm not going to worry
about it. They are getting bigger and
there isn't a whole lot of room in there
so having their activity level slow down
is normal. But I am so ready for this
pregnancy to be over. After my 37 week
appoinment next monday s/he can come right
on out.
