Baby not moving as much?

Question

I am 29 weeks pregnant and in the last week or two I’ve noticed I don’t feel the baby as much. She doesn’t kick like she used too. I sometimes feel movements at night when I’m laying still but I used to be able to feel really big kicks. Is this normal? I know she’s running out of room but I didn’t know if it’s something I should be worried about

Answer

They still have plenty of room at 29 weeks. However around that time they start to have sleeping patterns but should only sleep for 20-30 minute stretches. If they’re not moving for more than I’d say 45 minutes go get checked. Try laying on your left side drink orange juice or really cold water and maybe try to poke at baby to see if they’ll move, give it about 10 mins and if that doesn’t work then go in. Better to be safe than sorry, if baby starts moving when the monitor is on them wonderful. You didn’t go for no reason remember that. 🙂 good luck momma!

Answer

I had this happen to me around the same time. So I was really worried, but my sister in law told me to try drinking a really cold sugary drink or some with a little caffeine and he started to kick. It took about an hour for him to really get going. So maybe try that, if it doesn’t seem to be working I would call your doctor. 😊❤️

Answer

Any significant change in movement warrants a call to the doctor.  Even if your kick counts hit the target, it doesn’t necessarily mean everything is fine for YOUR baby.  You know your body and baby better than anyone else xx

Answer

Have you done your kick counts?
