Movement?

Question

I feel like I dont feel my baby move that much. Maybe a couple times a day? The other day I went a whole day and felt literally nothing so I called my doctor and went to the hospital. They said the baby looked fine and nothing was wrong. I always see videos of other women’s whole belly moving and stretching and I have never had that. Ive also seen other moms posting about how they feel their baby hiccup and everything and Ive definitely never felt that either. Im 32 weeks right now. Is this really normal?

Answer

I can tell you that baby position and placenta position can have a lot to do with this. If your placenta is anterior (in the front) that can affect what you feel. My baby has been head down up until the night before last and I felt them all the time. Yesterday I woke up and wasn't feeling anything so I panicked and went to the hospital and had an NST and ultrasound, turns out baby is now breech 😣 praying they flip before it's too late!

Answer

As long as you feel some movement at some point in the day baby should be just fine , every baby and every pregnancy is different! Try not to compare yourself to others. I found with my first baby I almost never felt her moving unless is was a big kick. Now with my third baby in there I feel everything. But everyone will feel things differently 😊

I remember being this way with my son. Every appointment they’d ask me if baby had been moving and I’d have to really stop and think about bc he just wasn’t that active. This time around my baby never stops moving. I’m actually nervous that she’s going to be a wild child when she comes out. Lol

Answer

I dont feel the baby as much as others say they do. This is because I have an anterior placenta  meaning it's at the front. 
It was described to me as an air bag 
between me and my baby.
Your obgyn can tell you if you have it also., not a bad thing, just different.

But I won't get any of the alien style hands or feet through the skin and all my ultrasound photos dont have the clear "water" as in others' photos.
You may be similar, just means we dont

Answer

With my first son he would only move an hour a day and never kicked just re-adjusted his position. He is now 3 and super active!

Answer

I’m 33w and on Monday at my scheduled NST I told her I hadn’t been feeling baby move as much and I was sent to hospital as well.
Not really sure what was going on since few days prior she was all over the place. But while there my BP got High maybe from All the worrying. 
They recommended for me to count the kicks and to come back in if for any reason I didn’t feel movements. They will monitor and double check she is fine. 
At my MFM appointment today she told me If that happened u could come to their office and get checked out as well without having to be sent to hospital since they have ultrasounds there as well. I will be talking to my OBGYN to see what she recommends.i usually do an NsT with her and another with MFM

Answer

Baby could be moving at night instead of the day. My baby will go a few days only moving late at night and super early. And then will go a few days moving mid afternoon.

Answer

I’m 32 weeks tomorrow and sometimes I go all day without feeling my baby, too. And sometimes it’s days with a lot less movements than usual. So I would say it’s normal. I think they’re just running out of room in there, idk.
