    Melissa,

    When I was pg with Olivia I could feel every single movement, & she was a wriggly kick-boxer.........so I expected the same with Charlie.......but it was SO different......I barely noticed he was there at all.......

    Whether is it to do with the position of the placenta, or whether some babies are simply more peaceful than others, I am honestly not sure.....but it sounds like all your scans have been normal, so I don't reckon you have anything to worry about.

    Now that you are moving into the 3rd tri, also bear in mind that bub is filling up the available space, so chances are you'll feel more rolls than kicks........

    Well not mine personally as all 3 of mine have been wrigglers.
    I know of a girl that barely felt any movement at all and her bub came out just fine!
    I can understand why you would be worried. Have a good chat to your OB about it anyway. They are there to hear your worries as well as check your blood pressure etc.

    One of mine didnt wriggle very much and turned out fine. He was just a quiet baby and still is.

    Melissa,

    I never felt Kimberley move until 35weeks and then she was standing on my pelvis that's what it felt like anyway.
    With Alex i had a few days where i wouldn't feel him move at all and some dyas he would. I'd always get the quiet days checked out when it hadn't happened for a couple of days.
