Baby not moving so much ???

[Fiona]

Help............ my baby hasn't moved as much as usual these last couple of days......

I am still feeling some movement but no the usual kicks, more like twists and turns....... is this usual towards the end of the pregnancy ???

Have a doppler and the heartbeat is okay but I am still abit concerned ?

Someone told me that things do slow down todwards the end but I thought I would ask you girlies ?

thanks, Fee

The week before Nathan was born he went really quiet for a few days and was hardly moving but i was still getting my 10 a day. About 2 days before he was born he started moving all the time again. I know its normal for them to slow right down at the end but make sure your still getting your 10 movements a day.

they do slow down near birth hun due to lack of space but if your worried ring you hospital or mw hun and they will do a quick trace for u, i had it done a couple of times before hannah was born

they do slow right down hun, not only do they not have much room but they are trying to conserve as much aenergy as they can for the big shabang, as long as you are feeling roughly about 10 movements, it doesnt have to be kicks just any sort of movement like the sliding youve said theres no worries however if you are worried then peak to mat unit.

I agree. It's a sign the birth is getting close. They do slow right down. Mine has too in the past couple of days.........
