Baby movement. What's normal?

Question

Anyone else around 37 weeks and not feeling their baby move around as much? I know they are running out of space but I can't help but worry. I'm sure she's fine but I just want to know I'm not alone. She still moves here and there but not like she used to. And I've seen other woman post belly videos of their babies moving about to burst out! Maybe it's just a moment where she's just not as active?? What's normal for this time I'm pregnancy?

Answer

Exactly the same for me! He will go hours without moving, even when I poke him. I was tested at the hospital and he passed all movement tests and I have random days where he doesn't stop moving at all. I think they go in spurts and have long resting periods. That being said, always trust your intuition. My doctor said they are always happy to test if I'm feeling too worried.

Answer

I've had the same problem starting at 36 weeks. I went hours without feeling baby move and went to the clinic and they hooked me up to a monitor, that's when she started moving around more. This past time she hardly moved around for 2 days and it freaked me out so much I went to the clinic the first day and no the hospital the next day. Turns out she was fine, just sleeping. I'm just happy that nothing was actually wrong.

Answer

I'm 37+2 and my baby has been moving like mad! Lots of moving responding to sound and touch & the movements are so big they kind of hurt & I can feel what is a foot/knee/hand or elbow randomly poking out at times! The 'theory' that they move less due to running out of room isn't true it's a myth. He moves lots

Answer

Same here right when I start thinking I should go to the hospital I start feeling him roll a lil

Answer

I think that's normal becuase the baby  is bigger now and doesn't have enough room to move around. So you will feel less movements at this point in the pregnancy

Answer

Yea you are not alone! I feel the exact same way & im constantly asking other ppl but the doctor told me since I'm 37weeks & he's growing plus my placenta is at the top it's harder to feel his movements so that might be your reason too. What helps sometimes is eating or drinking something sweet! Hang in there we got a few weeks to go!!😊🙌🏽

Answer

I'm 37 weeks and Tidus has his slow days but 98% of the time it feels like he's trying to tear himself out of my stomach... the doctor said he should have slowed down a couple of weeks ago.
