baby movements

So yesterday i didnt feel the baby move as much as i have been...i def still felt the little bugger, but not as much.

I think its freaking me out a little because for a couple of days before yesterday ive been feeling the baby a lot! and stronger...even saw my belly bounce! it was soo amazing!!

I hope today i feel it more again! ive already felt it a bunch of times this morning, but now i find myself obsessing over the movements, and am kinda staring at my belling waiting for it to move, and now i think the baby is messing with me and knows how crazy its mommy is and wont move when im waiting for it! LOL

Tell me this is normal for the baby to not be as active every now and then.

Re: baby movements

i keep wondering the same thing! some days she's moving around like crazy and then other days not so much. i really just think she has her down days and needs to rest up lol.

Re: baby movements

I've noticed that some days the baby is more active than others. Luckily I have a fetal doppler at home and that helps me relax a little.

Re: baby movements

It is such a crapshoot for the longest time - there's no rhyme or reason to when the baby will move or how often. You will see as you progress that the baby moves ALL THE TIME and also on a schedule!

Every morning on the subway the baby kicks and wiggles the entire way there ... if she didn't, I would definitely notice, because it's part of her daily routine.

Re: baby movements

That is totally normal. As long as you feel her everyday, I wouldn't worry. They have days where they are more or less active than normal. Eat or drink something sugary - it should wake her up!

Re: baby movements

As long as you feel the baby everyday - you are fine
They need time to rest too!! My LO is in a circus some days and then there are other days that I could feel LO like once cause they pooped themselves out!!
My dr is not concerned so I am not either (well trying to not be )

Re: baby movements

im sure its fine as long as you feel it a few times per day. some days i feel it every hour and some days only 3 or 4 times a day. but the kicks are def getting stronger!!

Re: baby movements

Thanks guys i feel much better knowing its not just my LO thats not always that active!!

today seems to be a lot better! altho i wish it would be constant! lol
i talk to my belly all the time and tell my LO i dont care how hard you kick mommy loves it and to do it all the time!

Re: baby movements

totally normal. i am 31w and there are definitely days she is quieter than others and it seems that just as soon as i really start to worry she decides to throw a party in my belly. As long as you are feeling some movement try not to worry so much which is know is easier said than done.

Re: baby movements

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way, even though I keep telling myself its normal. Some days I hardly notice movement at all and then some days its non stop. I usually feel LO a lot at night and when I didnt last night I started to get worried. But today, its been non stop all morning!

Re: baby movements

I am not consistent either. I am only 22 weeks, sometimes I feel the flutters and sometimes I dont. I am waiting to feel it more consistently. When did you ladies feel it more consistently?

Re: baby movements

I think it is normal because with DD, even up until the very end, her movement was VERY inconsistent. I remember being worried pretty much every day when I didnt feel her strongly. But that being said, I did feel her every day even if it wasnt strong kicks every day. If you are worried, they say to drink something cold or sweet and then lay down on your left side and focus on feeling movement for an hour or two.
