Can a baby run out of room?

[BeautifulMadness]

My family are convinced my andy has run out of room. Cause my family reckons andy has and thats why he has turned. So is it possible

[[M]umma[M]ia]

No.. its not. Tho being 37 weeks things will be getting a little squishy in there anyway.

nope i don't think its possible! the baby will grow to fit your body. but during the last few weeks they have less room to move around.
all the best!

Well i'll disagree and say yes.

My waters broke at 35wks for no apparent reason, no other sign of labour.

After dd was born she had hers knees up near her ears so her feet were level with her bum. Appraently babies will take a while to stretch out of position they were in the womb. juding by her position she was pretty squished in there.

So my theory is she ran out of room. She was a big baby for 5wks prem, 3.15kg and 48.5cm. I am only 163cm tall so not a lot of growing space to start with.

Hi BeautifulMadness
No babies cannot run out of room.

A baby can't run out of room.
People carry babies full term that are 10 or 11 pounds and a lady in England carried her 14 pound (almost 7 kg) baby to 38 weeks. And people often carry twins or triplets almost to full term.
So don't stress. My baby has moved heaps less its just that there isn't much room, but no they can't run out of room. GL

yea, I have wondered the same thing. A friend had a premmie - no obvious reason why, but baby was 56cm at 35 weeks. I think baby ran out of room too

I would say no. I carried twins to 38 weeks + 1day and they were 6lb 4oz and 6lb 8oz and they managed to stay in there that long. Sure they were pretty squished but they still managed to kick each other lol. Mind you I thought by about 30 weeks surely my stomach could not stretch anymore by it kept on going
