Hi!!! Is anyone experience this I will be 33 weeks tomorrow but lately I’ve been having legs and knee pain and I feel like my baby movements are reduced, but I can feel her heartbeat and the hiccups sound but the kicking thing is reduced...should I be worried? Should I call my doctor? Any advice?

Hi I am also 33 weeks. From what I have read and heard from my midwife we should for 2 hours a day make sure baby kicks or moves 10x, to help with this drink something cold or even oj to get the baby moving in there. We have to keep in mind that they sleep a lot and have sleep cycles. So I am sure its just that.

I told my Dr the same thing and she said it's because baby is running out of room in there. I'm almost 32 weeks now.

My friend had a baby last August and her midwife warned her not to get into the mindset of the baby is running out of room. The baby will still move as normal (to your little one). If you feel reduced movements and baby isn’t meeting kick count requirements call your midwife or OB. I’m not saying this to scare you or cause you anxiety, I just remember being taken aback as she explained it’s a common misconception and she was quite stern with my friend about it! Good luck with the last stretch of your journey mama - we’re all in this together! 💜

Thanks!!! It already cause me anxiety... I called my doctor, they got me talking to a nurse saying after each meal,wait for couple minutes then lay on my left side then start counting if I don’t get 10 kicks or movements call them back... that’s the first time I am getting scared throughout The Whole pregnancy..SMH

That’s a good way to look at it.

Everyone is different. My last baby had reduced movement 3 days before I was induced and I found out it was because his cord wrapped around his neck twice so if he tried to move it would tighten, I’m not trying to put fear in you. Just as a mom your notice when something isn’t right or similar to what it was. Also they couldn’t see where his cord was on an ultrasound and couldn’t do anything until birth

I’m 31 weeks and was a little concerned too since she wasn’t moving as often. Relieved to see there are many going through this!

I’m 30 weeks and I was concerned about the same thing but I guess what’s happened is that baby’s movements are different bc he’s running out of room

33 week today and last night my LO scared me because he hadn’t moved all night. Pulled out the doppler and heartbeat was strong. I guess I woke him because he started moving like crazy. I guess the movements are supposed to take a shift around now.
