Question

im 34 weeks pregnant now and the past about 4 days i have felt alot less movement - and i keep worrying but when i check with the fetal heart monitor i can hear her heartbeat and its fine and v strong as usual...

should i be concerned? i mean i do feel her move every day but it isnt half as much as i used to

seeing midwife tomorrow so ill ask her about it but i need peoples opinions now cos im worrying =) any answers greatly appreciated

Answer 1

it`s always normal to worry about those kinds of things, i would think, but baby is growing, right? perhaps she`s run out of space to move. i went with my cousin to an ultrasound of her 35 week baby (they were monitoring the baby because my cousin has scoliosis), & all we saw was that the baby could hardly move in there & was practically only able to sit there playing with her fingers!

it`s a good thing you`re going to see your midwife to ask her your questions - she`ll be able to reassure you better than any of us can! :)

Answer 2

i wouldn't be so concerned because your half way their until the big day your baby is getting much bigger and there's not a lot of space for it to move around in. i went to the Doctor because i was so concerned about the same thing they told me if you haven't felt her move more then a couple times a day then that's a a problem just drink something very cold or eat something that sweet and if the babdoesn't't start to move and bounce around after that that is when i would be concerned but other then that there's nothing to worry about.

Answer 3

It just means your baby is running out of room. Mine has done the same thing! I'm sure your fine, but your a good mommy for worrying! Congratulations on your soon to be bundle!

Answer 4

Don't worry because the baby is getting bigger and gaining weight there is a lot less room, for the baby to move about this is normal i have 3 children so try and not worry you don't have long to go enjoy it and rest, good luck x*x

Answer 5

baby slows down moving around this time beacause they have less room and are preparing to be born i had this with both my sons it is totally normal but if you dont feel any movement at all within 6 hours then conact your doc immediately but if u prod your tummy if your not sure just to get the baby active. hope this helps

Answer 6

It usually means that she's gaining weight now..and running out of room.

always talk to the doctor/midwife...about any concerns.

Answer 7

im 37w and its the same with me but since they dont have much space to move in there then its getting harder to do all kinds of stuff in there but i do feel her like i guess turn or something and then there is that one day she moves like crazy but still ask ur midwife.. good luck

Answer 8

You should at least feel her moving once every two hours anything past that is cause for concern. Not to worry you, but when my babies started slowing down it was a sign that they were getting ready to be born so your baby may be more ready than you think. As long as the baby has a good strong heart beat then there is nothing to worry about that is a good sign that the baby is doing good in there. If the baby was in some distress you would notice a change in the heartbeat. Good Luck with everything and don't stress out the baby sounds to be doing just fine...

Answer 9

It is normal for the baby to slow down towards the end. I wouldn't worry

Answer 10

My guess would be that she is settling down , getting ready to meet her mama. I would ask your midwife, but I bet she tells you the same, most babies will do this in the last month or so. Best of luck!!
