Weird movement, 22+2

I'm 22+2 and have been feeling good movement since 18 weeks. I feel her kick every day, but it's not really getting any stronger, it's still a light kick, (I can see it from the outside, and it usually moves my hand if it's in the right place, but not really harder), and not really getting more kicks then before. I don't feel her shifting around or pressing on one spot anymore. Sometimes when I'm laying on my back the only way I can tell is by the ball concentrated on one side of my stomach. I was feeling movement where she'd slide from one side to the other and hear head/butt would rub up against my belly, and I hardly feel it anymore! When I went to L&D last week (for back pain and cramping) she was kicking like crazy because of the straps, and her H/R has always been good (I have a doppler from home). She's been really low, and I've never felt her where my c-section scar is, only ever below or above it. Could she be sitting where my c-section scar is and I'm just not feeling her? Is this normal?! Starting to worry me!

You're right! I feel movements every day, I just thought they'd be picking up in strength and frequency by now, I forget that some women are just starting to feel movements too. I'm really wondering if she is facing my back! I'll have to check that with my next U/S if I get one!

It definitely is hard to feel anyyything in my tissue, even if I touch it from the outside, and that's right where she's been sitting. She kicked me pretty hard yesterday, but the hard kicks are once in a while, I hope they pick up soon!! She moves about every time I actually sit down and try to feel her movements, maybe I'm just not paying enough attention! I guess you're right, as long as she's moving that's what matters!

I wouldn't worry until you haven't felt movements for 2-4 days. Doubt forget babys getting bigger and has less space to move. Also she may be face your back which means all her movement's are there and your just feeling the occasional elbow. Am sure your princess is fine. You have your Doppler so can check her at any point :-)

If ubsont feel her at all then u should b worried n call your doctor but if u are feeling her and just not strong I wouldn't worry bc it's the way she is position if she's by your scar u prolly don't feel her strong bc of the scar tissue, with u have scar tissue it's hard to actually feel things normal I say this bc I have it myself
