Baby Moving........

I have asked this question before...but when i get used to my baby girls movements she changes her routine lol......the past week i have felt move her move a fair bit..making me jump etc...but these last few days she hasnt bin moving as much...i got a big belly but by the scan pic she still small... is her movement like this because she's still got loads of room?!?!

Im probs panicking over nothing but it being my first..i worry!!! by the way im 22 1/2 weeks gone! thanks x

hey dont worry, my baby is small too though my uterus is measuring the right size and she moves sometimes strong then hardly at all. my dr said it could be the size so dont worry too much,   your not alone

Thank you! its just so worrying!!! i think i've read 2 many baby books lol!!! i like the "kick count!" i told mum about it and she i shouldnt be doing that yet because i still go 3-4 months left lol!!! i just get all flustered sometimes! thanks x

lol its ok... i do the same thing   its so worrying when you know that the baby is small   cant wait for my next scan to check if she has grown, will make me feel a bit better about her kicks

I've been noticing her movement patterns are really consistent for about a week, and hten they change. Partially because I think if she flips over and kicks towards my back I won't feel a thing, I only feel if she kicks up or out.

I also think that the changing in the movements is related to growth patterns as well. I find if she gets pretty quiet for a few day I'm usually starving to death on those days and EXTREMELY tired (like, first trimester exhaustion all over again) and then once that passes and she starts moving again I feel her even more than I did before, so I think she's putting energy into growth and less energy into wiggles and stretches.

But I know what you mean- those dsays where I'm like - "hey it's bed time for me! Why aren't you moving???" they always freak me out a little bit but then she'll move somewhere else during the day/night to reassure me.

Hi. Same here. Sometimes i feel her a lot and some days just a little. Yesterday it was a LOT. It felt like she was doing acrobatics on my left side. Sometimes, i think she is stretching and touching me a little as i get an itch-like sensation. Maybe your baby is doing some subtle things that you dont feel much while you are wearing clothing and moving around so much. I just had breakfast and havent felt my little baby... but maybe I'll have little coffee and /or juice to wake her up :-)

ok, i swiched an oreo for the juice but it worked. She's moving. I'm sure your baby is just sleepiong a lot and has a lot of room to swim.

I never feel my baby after I eat- usually takes an hour or two after I eat for her to start movin'.

I also find, weirdly, that sometimes I can feel her pushing against my hand but I don't actualy feel it in my belly. Does that seem odd to anyone else? You'd think that if she's moving enough that you can feel it externally that I should be able to feel it inside, too!

I know what u all mean!!! when she aint kicking or whatever i feel real fat and bloated!!! and my tummy is rock hard and tight!!!! so i think she is moving around just not kicking lol! x

Yeah, sometimes my belly feels hard and I bet she's just doing some gymnastics in there that I can't feel individually.

I never knew pregnancy would be so terrifying lol, i'm in love with this lil baby inside me that i havent even met yet i get soworried that she's ok, and no matter what ppl say they cant reassure me lol!!! so i take it the feeling fat the hardness and tightness mean she is awake and moving then?!x

That or Braxton Hicks, I think. Sometimes she moves and it seems to trigger something that makes my belly tighten up, and I THINK that feeling is a BH (i've described it to other november mama's and they say it sounds like BH). Sometimes I can tell where she is because my belly is really hard in one place where it wasn't before.

So yeah, some of it is baby moving some of it is probably BH and your uterus growing and stretching.

Part of me is head-over-heels with this little princess. The other part of me is still like "what? a baby? in my BELLY? nooooo way." Its just so surreal!

i have been gettingafew of BH, very uncomfortable!!! i know its like WOW..im having a baby...its in there...she's mine....then i think oh **** she's gotta come out yet!!! lol putting her in me was way more fun!!!! hehehehe

Lol! Yeah... making the baby was the fun part, for sure. I think I'm okay thinking about the labour and the delivery. I'm kind of scared about actually having a baby, you know? Being home... with a newborn. Can't quite get my head around the idea that I'm going to be a mom soon!

And it's actually soon, here, too! 16 weeks, give or take. Crazy!

Wow thats not long 2 wait!!! im like a week behind you!!!! it's a very scarey thought and i know what u mean, i dont think i'll want my fiance to go back 2 work after his paternity leave lol, i'll lock him in the house!!!! it's the thought of not coping or if i do summat wrong or she cries and doesn't stop! it's silly little things isn't it, but hell it scares the crap outta u!!!
