Ok so I'm 24 weeks pregnant on Monday and
so far since I was 19 weeks she's always
been very active and seems to wake up and
"play" at any poke on my belly and
recently music, noises etc'. But since
yesterday morning she hasn't been moving a
lot at all, like yesterday I barely felt
any kicks until late last night and they
weren't as strong as usual. The this
morning at about 9am she was kicking a
bit, but still not strong. Now its like
2pm and she hasn't kicked, moved or
anything. Is this normal for her to be
less active, is she having a growth spurt
or something? What should I do? Please
help?

They do go through less active times. Try
to eat or drink something sugary and lay
down to see if that makes her move around.

If your ever really worried about anything
like that just call your midwife and asked
to be checked over, it wil give you peace
of mind!!
The same thing keeps happening to me tho!
I am 30 weeks tomorrow and at first baby
was really active, I felt movements all
the time, then after a few weeks it just
stopped and I hardly felt anything for a
while, I must admit I worried about it
too. But now It just seems that s/he does
it alot sometimes it will be permantly
dancing in there next it will be very
quiet in there!

As your baby gets larger, the space gets
smaller for it to move around in. Babies,
like adults, go through phases of rest and
wakeful periods. When you are awake and
upright, moving around, your baby has less
room. It is when you lay down at night
that the baby has more room to stretch and
move.
Don't worry that there is less movement.
Only worry when there is no movement.
If you are concerned. Eat something sugary
to get the baby active. If that doesn't
help ease your worries, call your doctor.

Hey thanks everyone, I've had a glass of
coke and I can feel some movement sat up
but thing is it just isn't as strong as
usual. I'm going to wait until my mum gets
home from work at 5.30 and then see what
she thinks, I'll probably ring the midwife
or out of hours doctor at 6 if I don't
feel anything reassuring before then. I
really dislike being pregnant, I go
through constant panic and everyone says
to relax now and start enjoying the
pregnancy but I cant!

Laurenjay, I am in the same exact boat as
you are. I am 26 weeks, and for the past
weeks it feels like the kicks were weaker
and less frequent. I asked and found out
its because of a growth spurt right now.
Also, when lying down, the movements feel
forceful. good luck to you, and
everything will be fine
