is it true what they say about baby's movements slowing/stopping before labour?

havent felt my little madam move all day...

i have heard that they slow down as my MIL says 'they are getting ready for the big jounery'. but if u are really concenred ring ur midwife x

When I reached the last few weeks her movements went through phases where they slowed down and then she would move like crazy... before labour though I really don't remember her moving much. Make sure you still check for 6-10 movements within 2 hours though. I hope this is the beginning for you!

I have felt Junior three times today and thats it. I hope it's not labour - far too early for me

Hope you're ok hun, might be worth ringing the midwife just incase.

hmm still havent felt her move but i think ill leave it another few hours..

I havn't felt her much and when she has moved it has been little pokes rather than rolls or kicks!

I think they don't move for a day just to get our hopes up.

My LO was very quiet for 3 days last week and I got all excited thinking it might be the start of something, but My doc said its nothing to worry about as he is probably just running out of space. This week however he has been back to normal, kicking like mad.

Hope all is ok and she is on her way! You could be one of the lucky ones!! Exciting yay!

I would go get her checked in a few hours tho - just to make sure!

i had a few pokes and prods from her lastnight so i was satisfied she was ok

I've had nothing this morning! I keep tapping her bum because that normaly gets her moving but I think she is just saving up all her energy for the big day now.
