Any mommies experiencing decreased movement??

Question

For the last couple of days, my girl has been so sleepy! I'll feel her slightly move an arm and a knee occasionally, and I do kick counts and I'll only feel her move an arm! I'm going to eat a big hot meal and do kick counts again before calling the doctor. Is it normal for them to be moving a lot less?? Please tell me your experience! I'm 38 weeks BTW.

Answer

My midwives have never said anything about doing kick counts. They said there are days where the baby will be sleepy, and the larger she gets the less she will wiggle around as strongly as before. They suggest drinking ice water and laying on my left side, if I feel anything I'm good. Hope that helps!

Answer

Mine went through changes in movements as there is less space. Now at 39 weeks they're more like pushes and baby adjusts and gets comfy.

Answer

My dr said at my appointment today (38+2) decreased movement is normal as the baby get bigger and runs out of room and gets positioned in the birth canal. I usually eat something and put my feet up before I get too worried, I've always felt the baby move

Answer

Dr told me to drink juice, lay on left side for an hour. She should move 8 times in the hour.

Answer

My midwife never suggested kick counts but she did say I should feel her throughout the day. I'm 39 weeks and I feel my little girl move all the time, but not as hard as before- I can tell she's bigger and just adjusting herself

Answer

My doctor said that you should def be able to get your kick counts in after drinking or eating something sweet...otherwise you should go and get checked😉 nothing wrong with going to labour and delivery😊

Answer

I'm 37 and am panicking because he's not moving around as much! I have an appointment tomorrow I am going to ask my doc about it.

Answer

Try not to worry unless you go like 3 hours without feeling baby. Remember towards the end they are sleeping a lot and running out of room.

Answer

Her movements will be softer since she's running out of room but if you had a normal active baby and the decrease is sever and you've already had one kick count not meet the requirements and you've never failed before I would call just to be safe
