Babies Movements

[cef1990]

Every time I come on to this site, (and don't get me wrong I love coming on here and reading all about you all) but I keep seeing outdated advise given to women in regards to babies movements.
There is a charity in the UK that have been set up to reduce to amount of stillbirths. Women checking reduced movements is a major must!

Here is some of the advise they give:
- Babies Do NOT slow down during the later stages of pregnancy, their movements will change (not so many kicks but wiggles, twists and turns instead). They should still move the same amount just differently NOT less.

-Don't rely on 10 kicks an hour, every single baby moves differently, some will move say 50 times an hour so if your baby then only moves 10 times, it's movements have been reduced.

- Get to know your own babies patterns and kicks (a episode of movement isn't just one movements it's an episode of say 5 mins of continuous movement)

-Get checked if you ever feel worried or feel reduced movements, this is a really good indication that something may be wrong (chances are it's all going to be fine but better safe than sorry).

For more information and advise go to www.countthekicks.org

Sorry for the long post, but I figured if this post can help one woman and baby than its all worth it. Good luck in all your pregnancies.
