34 weeks & just realised ive had hardly any bub movements for last 12-24hrs.
I've just realised I've had hardly any movements over the last 24hrs or so. I especially noticed last night, normally after I climb back into bed after a trip to the toilet or roll over I get massive kicks n movement for a while afterwards. But nothing last night. I've had a couple of little movements this morning so far though.
Should I be worried as long as I'm getting some movements?
We were travelling in the car most of yesterday so wondering if this could have affected bubs movements or do bubs movements slow down in the last few weeks?
have you had a big drink of cold water or juice? try that and relax on the sofa for a bit and see if the movements pick up. if DD2 went quiet on me, id have a big drink and poke her till she woke up...poor child.'
if that doesnt work dont be afraid to call the birth suit your booked into and see if you can pop in for a scan etc, they are normally more than happy to see you in there!!
they do move around less at the end i think, as they get bigger, i think they say 10 movements in 12 hours...but if your even the slightest bit worried get checked out!
The movement of the car could have soothed bub to sleep.
I went for monitoring a few times in the last few weeks because bub had slowed down. I felt a bit silly, but so reassured that everything was ok. Don't hesitate to get it checked if you are concerned. Fizzy drink (like coke) can sometimes get them moving.
Lissy movement does start to slow down now as things get more cramped in there. My really strong kicks are not as frequent now. But an icy cold drink generally gets a few movements for me. But I always think if you are concerned it's worth talking to your care provider.
I don't think a day in the car would make any difference though.
hello, it's challenging feeling worried at the end of the pregnancy. I would do as Beckoes suggested, cold water and see if that wakes bubba up a bit. And be sure to call someone even if it is to reassure you and make you feel more confident, and if this doesn't happen with the first call, keep calling until you feel secure. THis part of the pregnancy you start facing a few fears and it is important that you feel supported by your partner and your birthing team to meet these fears to prepare you to birth your baby and feel safe about it. Go well today.
I agree, if your concerned you need to check it out..
It's meant to be 10 movements in 10 hours and even movements while in contractions, thats what the nurse told me anyways.
I also say drink ice cold water or even a warm bath, I found my dd would be Ian Thorpe in their once the gravity took hold of my body..
GL Hun, hope you get a fly kick soon!
I would try the cold drinks as the others said andif that doesnt get some strong mvts then call and see if you can have a quick check up - i did this and they picked up lots of mvts that i couldnt feel - but it is better to be reassured than worry about it. let us know how you go.
Yep go the sweet stuff. My doc says it is a good indication of how the sugar is being transferred from the placenta and how the baby is responding to it. But if you are worried please please don't wait just get to hospital or your OB.
Bub's movements did slow down for me in the last few weeks, not so much rolls and kicks, but many more prods. Sometimes I can watch my belly move but don't actually feel the movements cos they are so subtle. Maybe watch as well as feel, especially after a cold sweet drink like the others have suggested.
I would get it checked out though if you are worried. Nothing like peace of mind to make you enjoy these last few weeks. I remember a GF constantly saying her bubs had slowed down from about 33 weeks, and she had a perfectly healthy bub at 39 weeks.
Good luck hun! Your lil person is just getting a bit cramped that's all
Just realised Id forgotten to respond to this. Sorry ladies . Yeah everythings fine now as far as bub movements go. Bub must've been oddly positioned or something as I tried the cold/sweet drink & didnt get much of a reaction. But a day or so later movements seemed to go back to fairly normal.
Dragonbub - I sat & watched my belly after your suggestion & did notice some movements going on that I wasn't 'feeling' at all so again it must've been simply how bub was lying.
