Fetal Movement ... Posted: 05-20-07 11:11am
I am sorry if this is a stupid question,
because I am kind of a nervous person.
But starting a couple (or maybe 3) days
ago, the baby's kicks (i am 25 weeks)
haven't been as strong or frequent.
Nothing has changed as far as diet or
anything, and I am still feeling them
throughout the whole day, just not as
often and they are not as strong.
i really don't understand.\
I would call my doctor but I figured I
would come on here and maybe you girls
might be able to relate.
thank you katieflower

I don't really have any help as I've never
been pregnant (dh and I are working on
that one) but I hope that everything works
out for you. These forums are a little
dead on the weekends so you might have
better luck tomorrow. If you are worried
at all go ahead and call your doctor.

my baby does that sometimes too, she moves
around a lot for a few days then kinda
goes slow for a few days...my mum says its
because when shes less active shes growing
or something like that, not sure if its
true or not though
if your worried call your doctor, somehing
may be wrong, it may not be, you never
know, thats what the doc is there for
anyway right?

thank you monkey girl and idony for your
opinion. I believe what you said about the
up days and down days thing. I just like
to know that it's not just me. I feel
better now thank you ladies

her momvement is becoming restriced due to
her growing body.
Once you hit about 30 weeks, the little
movements become the jarring of your
entire stomach!
It's freaky!! You'll literally see your
entire belly go from left to right, down
to up!!

The same thing happened with me, my girl
was always popping around like a little
firecracker in there! Then it really
slowed down, but I still felt her and I
agree that it's becuiase she's growing.
There isn't as much room for the babe to
pop around anymore, now the movements you
feel will be more like lumps in your tummy
... and in a couple of weeks it will
really start to get uncomfortable!
I was so used to cutesy fluttery little
taps that now at 34 weeks her rolling and
flipping is quite the strange sensation
and when she get's to pushing on my hips
and ribs... I literally sit here frozen
because it's such an icky feeling!
No worries hun! The babe is just getting
bigger... but they say if you don't feel
right or notice a *drastic* change in
movements notify your doc, it doesn't ever
hurt anyone if you voice your concerns.
Also try kick counts ... those can put
your mind at ease well and you'll know
when to call your doctor and when things
are most likely a-ok!

I had a bit of a panic at about 27 weeks
or so because it seemed like the baby
wasn't moving at all. So I did a kick
count. Before that I could count 10 kicks
in 10 seconds but this time they were few
and far between but they were still there,
I just had to lie still and pay attention.
Then after that they went back to normal
pretty much, just a little less than
before. Like others said, the movements
change when they have less room to move
around in there. Now it's like squiggly,
squirmy movements and pushing more than
the kicks I was getting before. Sometimes
it tickles and sometimes it gives me
shivers. I hope everything goes back to
normal for you too, maybe the baby was
just having a lazy day like mine was.

thank you so much ladies.
you truly helped put my mind at ease.
I try not to be such a worry wart but I am
sure some of you can relate!
In the beginning, I was so nervous,
praying that nothing would happen to my
baby. Then, it was me worrying about if
the baby was growing right.
Then worrrying about this and that.
But thank you for your input, it
definitely helped me out on this one!
