Back from my 29 week appt.

I am up a total of 28lbs 4 of which I gained in the past month which doctor said was good...

I passed my 3 hour glucose but because is measuring big and because both DH and me were born big, she wants to monitor my glucose levels and she's making me go back in three weeks FOR ANOTHER 3 HOUR GLUCOSE!!!!! UGHHHHH I am so dreading it!!!

is otherwise great and bouncing around....

Doc told me she should be kicking like a champ by now and that I should feel her every hour....I feel her alot at night but during the day I cant say I feel her every hour....Should I be??

At what point do you start feeling their kicks higher than your belly button?

Sorry...I have alot of questions!!!

Im 31 weeks and I feel them there now. I also feel them more when I am at rest in the evening.

my LO does not move around a lot during the day unless i am sitting still... sometimes he will stretch but that doesn't happen more than a couple of times a day. at night, and early in the morning, he practices his UFC moves.

as long as you are feeling her every day i wouldn't worry, but if you want you can do a kick count - i am pretty sure you lay on your left side for 2 hours and try to count at least 10 kicks, but don't take my word for it

I'm 29 weeks and feel DD kick, push above my belly button and she tickles my sides.

I feel her head or butt above my bellybutton also

Re: Back from my 29 week appt.

Sorry you have to go through the 3-hour again. That stinks. I started feeling her above the belly button around 27 weeks. I wouldn't say I feel her every hour. Sometimes if I am busy or on my feet I won't feel her for up to 3 hours. But I do feel her consistently throughout the day. If your worried you could count movement/kicks (10 every 2 hours) but you should know best what is normal for your and I wouldn't be concerned unless something in her pattern changes.
