Lazy baby

So I'm just needing some reassurance. I'll be 29w saturday and the past 2 weeks my baby has stopped moving as much. I still feel her move but it's alot of small movements and no where near as much as she used to. I've went to the doctor and they examined everything and she's fine, I also just had a 3d ultrasound and she's great. I've got another check up on Friday. Even though they say everything is great it still worries me since I know some people that have had their babies born stillborn around this many weeks :(. I'm just hoping to hear of other moms who have lazy baby's and are dealing/have delt with this same thing.

Yup my little girl is lazy too.  She was verrrrrrry active around 23 weeks but now she's simmered down.  Just like you I feel her every so often but I wish I could feel her more...I miss it haha.

I'm 28wks+4 and I don't feel any movements at all. Never have. Have to have monthly scans and midwife visits are more regular too, just to make sure all is ok. Mine is due to placenta at the front. I get pains, which told is normal as muscles weeker with second pregnancy. I'm currently signed off work as they were putting too much preassure on me. Since I have noticed I'm more relaxed and less pains. But still not enjoying this pregnancy, just doesn't feel right not feeling anything. Can't wait till lil boy is finally here!!

They never told me about having it till I was worked in for an appointment after barely any movement in 3 days. They tried just listening for the hb on a doppler and couldn't find it (I freaked out) so they gave me an ultrasound and there she was moving like crazy. I couldn't feel any movements though. I didn't know the placenta could move around. That def explains how I could feel her a lot before and now hardly any.

Yup I have it too. I didn't find out till the 3d though. And I did have stronger kicks before and then around those weeks I listed before it got slow and not as hard. The tech told me that the placenta should move around and so if it does you should be able to feel yours kickin strong again. I can watch my stomach move and see her body pressed against mine (kinda creepy.)

I'm hoping she starts getting active again soon like yours did. It's scary not feeling them move as much.

I've tried it all and can sometimes get little kicks out of her. Before I could just watch my stomach bounce around. I also found out I have an anterior placenta so I undertake that makes it harder to feel movements. Even though I was feeling alot before.

My daughter started to get lazy around 26-29 weeks. I had a 3d ultrasound at 27 and she was fine, still didn't move much though. But I'm 32 now and she kicks up a storm when she wants to, normally at night, like now. She seems to move when my body is still and I'm relaxed. Drink some cold water or juice and lay on your left side. Or eat something sweet and relax your body and see if she'll give you harder kicks.
