less movement

[adele88]

So i have been researching about having less movement in the third trimester. Is this normal as the baby has less room to move about i used to feel him move all the time now its only few kicks here and there anyone else experiencing this?

yeah the movement definatley changes. Instead of kicks theres lots of 'churning' type movements. I dont think LO has enough room to stretch his arms and legs to kick. Poor little thing!!!

Deffinatly! My LO doesnt kick me anymore and hasn't done for a few weeks now. She does stretch out her legs, but thats her biggest movements really. Pushing her bottom up and pushing legs out...when this is done at the same time...oh my..its a little strange lol. x

Agreed - It's more like a wriggle than a kick these days! lol! As long as you're still feeling some movement that's good. If you notice a sudden drop or change in movements you should contact your MW though.
