Movement

Harriet123 · Jun 2nd, 2009, 07:50 AM

Hello

I'm 2 weeks exactly off my due date today, really excited.

The baby has been moving none stop for ages, even at night but i woke up this morning and the baby has been really quite, there is some movement but it's not loads like usual.

Is this normal?

I don't know if it's normal but my LO is very active. I think it's just what you do/eat etc. Or just them having some active time!

Amber was a crazy baby.
3/4wk before duedate her movement slowed down loads, still having 10+ a day.
1-1.5wk before my duedate she went totally crazy again lol

as long as your still getting at least 10 movements a day, i believe its normal.
My Bump is just naturally quiet has been for acouple of weeks but have been told not to worry. hope all is well x

Hi hun,
Eat some chocolate and drink a fizzy drink and see if that helps ..

..on Friday my LO didn't move once until 6pm and then it was only odd movements (im due a week tomorow) and now he's very quiet.
Just keep a eye and try to count 10 a day .. but if your at all worried phone your MW to get your mind put at rest hun xxx

My LO has gone really quiet at the moment too from the past few days. Hes moving but not alot, might phone the MW myself later, just had something to eat and going to see how it goes 1st. that usually gets them going lol x

i've phoned the midwife at the hospital cos my midwife isn't anwsering her phone and the women said as long as you get 10 movements a day then it's normal but it isn't normal for my baby, it normally moves none stop but today it just hasn't.
She said to ring back later if it hasn't moved anymore.

I feel stupid bothering them if it's just nothing but you never know.
My OH thinks i should ring back later just to get it checked anyway.

My lo has been really active lately, but did have a day a couple of days ago where there wasn't as much movement there was still more than 10 movements a day though so I didnt worry too much and then by the next day was all back to normal and she hasn't stayed still since.

But if it is something thats worrying you then it is definitely best to get it checked, even if turns out to be nothing at least it will put your mind at ease.

i would ring back and tell them it isn't normal for your baby! they should have you monitored if only to out your mind at rest! if its any concellation then my baby had very strong violent movements but over the last week he has been much quieter, i think its something to do with not having as much room.

hope everythings ok but i would ring them again

The midwife said sometimes they can get into awkard postions and can't move properly.
I think i will ring back later this afternoon just to put my mind at rest.
