does heat make baby move less?

Question

I haven’t had air conditioning in my house for the past week and since then I’ve also felt a decrease in movement. I’m 21 weeks and also have an anterior placenta but I’ve been feeling baby move since 16 weeks and felt his little kicks since 19 weeks. should I be concerned? I still feel him pushing on me but I really haven’t felt much since my anatomy scan last Wednesday. Everything looked fine then but I jus barely feel him move anymore

Answer

I read that it’s normal for them to go through stages of moving a lot and not moving a lot. I think they say by 28 weeks you should worry if you experience it less :) but heat could contribute to the baby being more “lazy”. I mean that’s how I get when I’m hot.

Answer

That's normal especially with a anterior placenta
