Baby not kicking anymore!!

Guys I'm nervous. I'm 28 weeks and at about 26-27 weeks I could feel super hard kicks and see the kicks outside my tummy. I would feel these kicks all over my tummy. Now, at 28 weeks, I can only feel him move. He doesn't really kick anymore, he just shifts around a little bit and I only feel it in my lower belly. Idk what this means and it's scaring me!!

Thank you! He's been kicking so much lately. So much that sometimes I have to take a few minutes to sit and do nothing while he kicks because it's too distracting lol but I consider those few mins of no activity a form of bonding (I just let him do his thing in there). Thanks everyone for the support. Can't wait to meet him!!

You still have seven weeks. My daughter turned towards my back about 29 weeks and I freaked out. Went to labor and delivery and they did a ultrasound that showed she flipped backwards and all movement I could not feel. They told me to get on my hands and knees and drop my chest then lay back. Works Everytime and has during this pregnancy. They get comfortable in there lol.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I drank a cup of coffee one morning (like a week ago) and started feeling him kick a lot. Ever since that morning I feel him kicking all day, really hard kicks I've never felt before and waking me up at night with kicks. Although it's slightly annoying, I love it because I can feel him in there!

I was just talking bout this yesterday wit my doctor. He told me to play wit my belly, sing & talk to my baby. He use to be so active up til last week & I was worried. Once I started to rest, do wat my doctor said & lay n awkward positions I would feel him more & more. Also, as u get further along n your pregnancy its less & less room for your lil 1 to move. I wish u the best

I'm 29wks and I feel less kicks but movement a lot. And he pushes me. I'm talking to my Dr about it Fri to make sure that's normal.

The fact that you can feel him is a possitive sign. I would contact your midwife / gp and explain tho. They can check out that that everything is ok. Let us know. Thinking of you
