feeling 'different' (alan?)

[nelliesbelly]

Hello

I have been feeling really different the last few days. Its so hard to explain!

Bub slowed right down on the weekend and still seems to go most of the night without moving. I have had a trace done every 2 days and will continue to. Dr and midwifes say baby is very healthy but also very big (6 pounds plus at 33.5 weeks). I am small. Midwife said to expect an early delivery, Dr just shrugged and smiled.

I dont feel something is wrong (and Ive been assured there is no problem) but i feel something has changed. it is a really strange feeling. I have had a very healthy pregnancy, I have lots of energy, and feel very settled. Even though Im huge I dont seem to notice.

Has anyone else experienced this. or am I going mad. or can I blame the hormones.

Hi Nellybelly
Perhaps the feling is because your baby's movements have slowed down

[nelliesbelly]

Yeah you are probably right, im probably reading too much into it

Nelli, I have been feeling just how you have described. Baby slowing right down, and I just feel different.?

Hey ellyboo

yeah it is a weird feeling im glad im not mad. my DH laughed at me when I said to the ob I dont feel pregnant anymore- I mean I am huge and being short I find it hard to even walk around right now! my bub didnt move much at all last night again and I know because I only slept two hours due to lower back ache and feeling like I had bad wind. Not sure what that was.

Nelli, I had lots of backaches last night too, and still have that strange feeling. Bubs moved a little bit more today, but still overall quiet. LOL at the wind...I have had that too just yesterday. I have heard that diarrheoa is another sign?

Perhaps its a change in hormones causing all of our symptoms/feelings?
