Less movement?

I'm measuring a little ahead but according to LMP I'm almost 36 weeks along, she is head down at the moment and though she moves during the day and even has hiccups, she is moving less than normal.

I just heard her heartbeat on the 6th and she is healthy, big and perfect, according to the doctor. But, I keep freaking out that she isn't moving as much as normal.

When should I worry? With Novali, she stopped moving and I ended up needing an emergency c-section due to a problem with the placenta, so I'm obviously freaked out due to past experiences! But, when is "less movement" dangerous?

I wouldn't worry too much. It's an awkward space and she's filling it up so movement is going to be limited. Do your kick counts and if you feel there's a need for worry then see your OB

Well i can see why you freak out! But shes gettin big so less movement is totally normal. You should at least still feel her move during the day.. if you freak out just drink or eat something sweet just to make sure shes ok in there.. she'll start jittering and moving and it will ease your mind...

Well she's getting big and has less room. Just do your kick counts (I was told 10 movements in 2 hours) and if you don't get them go to L&D. Shoot, even if you do get them and your still uneasy, go in. Especially with your history no such thing as too cautious.

Thanks ladies! She moves around, moving around right now.... it's just worrisome that she isn't as active as she used to be.

I freak out about everything though!   I'm one of "those" moms! haha
