lack of movement at 36 weeks

I'm currently 36+ 2 and noticed for a few days my girl hasn't been very active. She used to kick a lot on a morning and night but now I only feel a few jabs every now and then. She's a breeched baby don't know if that makes a difference.

Well I think I annoyed her as I got my bd to run to the shop for orange juice and ice, seemed to wake her up! Back to only a few pokes this morning tho. I miss those really big kicks.

It's normal to panic and worry if we don't feel movement! We know what could go wrong and that fear is always there, I'm sure everything is fine... My baby tends to move most when his dad is talking!

yes they can, so if you at all concerned go and get bub checked out, its much better to be safe than sorry :)

I know it's worrying you, but as long as you still feel her everything is fine and also lay down flat on your back and watch her heartbeat!!

They say the babies sleep 23 hours a day at that point, maybe that's what's going on. I've read it in this app!!

Yea I would try to relax if you're still feeling her then that's good but wait til after supper, maybe like 30 mins to an hour after and lay down on your back and start counting her kicks. She's probably just worn out!!

It just worries me as they go on any fetal decrease too go to emergency but then they tell you if you feel any little kicks it counts.

Mine is doing the same thing! I think they're just about to point we are and that's exhaustion! Plus, there isn't any room left, everything I've read says that from here on out they are accumulating fat so theyre basically done growing. I ate a little while ago and he moved for a few minutes and now he's stopped again and this has been going on for two days and he usually never stops!! EVER.
