My turn to panic about lack of movement........

[SamiH]

Tanstar - awwww hun - my little man worries me too - I don't think I feel much and try to reassure myself cos of anterior placenta and the big boots are coming in the next couple of weeks.

But, last time you didn't have Izzy too - I swear that is why I probably don't notice movement as much already running around after my two. The other day I took 3 hours couch time for a rest - and I felt heaps - kids were at school/care so no distractions - made me feel better.

If you can, try and find 30 minutes of you time to just pop your hands on your belly having a lay down sometime during the day - he will give you some signs

Of course same advice as others, if you get really worried, just go to your midwife or GP if they have a doppler for some quick reassurance.

I feel huge already for not feeling much movement - and from wht I have read of yor posts, you feel the same

Tan, I worried a little earlier on in my pg too. I didn't notice my little man moving nearly as much as his sister did and it is all in my pelvis, even now when he has turned and is the 'right' possie. I think some of it has to do with the fact that we don't have the time to take as much notice of bubs moving cause we are running after toddlers. I noticed and noted just about every movement with DD.
This time, I just don't really get much of a chance to sit and marvel at the miracle it is! The past few weeks though I have had some beautys right in the cervix and hip bones...reassureing but not very pleasant . I also think my placenta might be up the top of my uterus, kind of under my ribs because I don't really feel any movement there unless bubs is doing acrobatics or palying soccer or something inside me!
Try not to worry, I think it's only after you don't feel any movement at all for a significant amount of time, like over a day, that you need to worry. But as the other girls have said, go to the dr to have a listen of bubs hb if you need to, it's better than worryig your pants off for days.

Tan, my DD didn't move much at all in utero. The whole pregnancy infact! I was often concerned i hadn't felt much for a whole day. I would really have to work at getting a kick or two out of her! She did move and kick, but no where near as much as my preg friends.
When she came out she was the most laid back cruisy bub, so i think that she was just chilling out on the inside! (How things have changed, now there is no stoppping her, she's 8 months and wobbling along behind a push trolley thing!)

He's probably just going to be a cruisey laid back lad.
