How often should I feel bubs moving?

[Mummatotwo!]

Skyblue, thats probably why you are not feelng much today (or yesterday lol) because she has exhausted herself

I am 33ish weeks pregnant now, and i STILL get days where bub doesnt move all that much. Its hard not to worry, just have a glass of orange juice, lay back and relax.
But at 20 weeks i wasnt feelng too much with either of my babies. Its only now that i can feel his head grinding on my cervix and his hands flicking my bum!!!

Hi Skyeblue,

Just to confirm what others have said really. Thursday just been I had bub moving around ALL day, there where breaks now and then but it was fairly consistent to the point that I became quite irritable. Since then bub has been moving a lot less, only a little in the evenings and then when I try go to sleep.

I had assumed that babies have energetic days and lazy days like us really and that at the moment there is enough space and fluid in there that we dont feel every movement just the big ones. I think it becomes more important to feel the daily kicks in the third trimester as by that stage everything bubs does should be really obvious to their mums.

Hope that helps a little, your not the only one to sit there wondering where they've got to.

My bubs tend to get really active when I lie down to go to sleep lol. I swear it knows when it is my bedtime.

Also when i sit at a 90 degree angle it hates being squashed so kicks me to let me know to move it. Bubs also has some quieter days but is getting really more active all the time.

Glad you have a doppler, do you think it was worth the money to buy or did you rent it??
