Can see movements in my belly but I can barely feel it?

Question

I'm 37 weeks today and as of two days my babies movements are softer, I still get 10 movements in less than 2 hours they just are so soft that I can barely feel it like I have to concentrate in quiet place. I can see my tummy rolling and bumping but it's not as distinct as before now it feels like a feather being swept across my tummy lol. Is this normal ? I'm a ftm so I was wondering if this happened to other moms.

Answer

I think it might have something to do with baby running out of room to move. By this point he's pretty squished in there so maybe he just doesn't have as much umpf behind the swings as he did in earlier weeks.

Answer

I get that sometimes too! It's rare but sometimes I'll think I haven't felt him all day so I'll lay down and look at my belly and ill SEE the movement but won't feel any of it. So wierd!

Answer

I'm 39 weeks and notice this too! It's so weird. I also have a hand sized spot under my right rib that is pretty numb. Doctor said its due to stretching,

Answer

I was the same way with my 1st son. I could only feel him after drinking a glass of caffeine...

Answer

I've had this issue for a while too. I read that the skin can get so tight you will start to lose sensation. Mine is a bit numb so I figured that's what's going on. I did a non stress test and she was moving the whole time but I only felt a couple movements
