Do you count SEEING tummy move but not FEELING it as movement when counting?

Bee26 · Mar 14th, 2010, 14:56 PM

Ok so Ive had a couple of quiet days...have felt LO 10+ times justnot as much as he has for the previous week. I know at 35+2 hes getting tight for room in there and I feel like my bump may have dropped a little.
As I have an anterior placenta Im finding that when I sit and watch my tummy at times I can see it obviously moving but not feel anything. Would you still count these as movement when keeping tabs?
Thanks girls xx

I would, seeing as you can physically see him move even if you cant feel it. When I was being monitored the other day they were counting hearing the movement even when I didnt feel it. I often see the belly move but can only feel it when I put my hands there.

^^ I agree.. I've had days where I only feel pip 7 or 8 times but if I sit down and be patient I can SEE her moving and I've got an AP aswell... It's quite amazing actually how you're tummy can move so obviously and you can't feel it lol...Weird lol xxx

I would! I love seeing my belly moving and feeling it too. I think my baby moves all day long as I notice bits sticking out but don;t feel baby moving to/from that position as I am on the go all day. In the evening I notice loads of movements and feel lots more too as I am quiet and resting.

yeah i would hun. I had a few quiet days recently but the last few days she hasnt stopped so maybe they just have another growth spurt around this time. I think ive dropped too and feeling lots of pressure down there already xx
