Movement in the last few weeks

[LoveKnowsNoBounds]

Hi ladies,

My movement has slowed down from the energetic kicks to more the slow, gentle movements here and there. They are less in volume and intensity. Is this OK? I am 36 weeks and 2 days. I get movements maybe 4 times a day but nothing like the big kicks I used to get. I get the pressure feelings but I don't really class them as movements. Sometimes I will feel a foot lodging somewhere uncomfortable but these are less than they were before.

Thanks

Hi Jan
Yes very common. Your baby has mow a lot less space to play in. Movements will be mostly a lot more gentle now. And you will probably get lots more things sticking up and causing strange shapes on your belly

Thanks Alan, I was really starting to worry.

Hey Jan. I barely get any kicks at all from Ed now but get a fair bit of squirming and wriggling sort of movements, but like you said, only a few times a day as opposed to when it used to feel like there was a football game going on in there 24 hours a day!! Like Alan said, I'm also getting strange little growths sticking out - trying to identify what a particular bump is is very cheap entertainment!

I had exactly what Alan described. I used to get this foot stick out on my right side under my ribs.
