    reduced Fetal movments 30 weeks pregnant

    Hi ,

    The last maybe 2 weeks his movements have become more like rolling and pushing rather than kicks, they are still quite frequent.

    Is this normal - i assume it is beacuase he is running out of room...

    First baby not sure what goes on..
    Thanks

    Definitely. Thats how mine were. I noticed as they get head down and begin to engage you find movements become stretches more then the jolty kicks and punches of the 20 - 30 week time. As long as you can feel a certain number of movements a day thats fine.

    Enjoy it while it lasts.

    sounds normal to me. I am at 30 weeks now and pretty much either get rolling and stretching sort of movements or really spasmodic kind of movements - I wouldn't be worried if you are getting any kind of movement at all on a regular basis.
