Lessened movement?

Question

Hi ladies,
   I'm 29w4d and feeling less movement today than usual. Movement had been pretty obvious and specific until last night; today it's been much more subtle and it's making me nervous because it's breaking the routine. She's not really increasing movement after my doing things like drinking cold juice either.

I keep reading that as babies grow, movements feel different as she has less room; have any of you found that to be true? I'm planning to call my midwife if my little lady doesn't ramp up her kicks by tonight...

Answer

Any time I noticed a difference in baby's routine I'd go and get the heart tones just to calm my nerves. You can't be overly cautious.

Answer

True, baby tends to move less as it grows and has less room. But you should still feel a good amount of movement (anything from rolls to kicks. Except hiccups) within 2 hours during this point in your pregnancy. When I was pregnant, I was paranoid and went to labor and delivery every single time I was concerned with decreased fetal movement. It's better to be safe than sorry. I've read too many horror stories of still birth and I didn't care if I was a nuisance. As long as baby is safe is what's important!

I'm sure everything's okay! Sending you well wishes! 🙏🏼

Answer

Yeah I would definitely advise to call and be monitored if you notice any difference in the frequency of movements xx

Answer

I am 30 weeks and it was same for me today.I feel movements more like rolling ,but not strong kicks as other days.My OB has told me to come for a check-up in case movements lessen or stop for around 2 days.So I'm gonna watch for 1 more day..Hope all our babies are doing fine :/

Answer

I'm 31 weeks and it isn't as frequent but he is much stronger! Also I feel like it's more of a rolling motion than the jabs I was feeling before! They start to rapidly put on weight in the 3rd trimester so I'm assuming he is just running out of space to wiggle as much
