how active are your babies?

[shak_436]

what the title asks really...im just wondering because my baby isnt as active anymore,is this normal as you become closer to the end?are they supposed to slow down?

[hopelesslypraying]

She's moved since I msg on here but still not a whole lot. Idk maybe it's me paranoid and wanting her out now lol I'm 38 weeks today

If I ever want to get my little girl going I just have a big glass of orange juice and in about 15-20 minutes its like a dance party in my uterus LOL

@hopelesslypraying try and have some sweet,and drink some super cold orange juice or water or something,lay down,close your eyes and relax,it may get your little one to move,thats what I did...

[hopelesslypraying]

Yea I'm Right there with you. She's still hardly moving today. Makes me wanna get checked but then I'll feel stupid for going into the hospital just to get told everything is okay. Ugh... I don't like this. I sit around waiting and hoping I feel her. I'm just scared something is wrong ya know?

[shak_436]

must be normal if y'all get this frm time to time...@hopelesslypraying,thats exactly what happened to me today,my tummy would go hard and than slowly go soft as though she shifting positions very slowly,it got me really worried,whichIis why I posted this thread to see whether everyone going through something similar..

My son is still pretty active but has his rest times.  My dr said to try & pay attention to his schedule & he may keep it when he's born.  I can count on him to be awake between 9 & 9:30 am, approx. 3 am & 9 pm.  He's awake more during the day but these are really active times for him. I'm curious if he'll keep this schedule.  :)

This is ironic cuz last night my little girl wouldn't move to save my life. Kept me up a good portion cuz I was starting to freak out that she wouldn't move. I'd feel my tummy go harder in one spot then soft like she was very slowly moving but it wasn't easing my mind. She doesn't move like my son did. Even at 38 weeks he was still all over the place but not her

At this point they say they are sleeping like 90% of the time. I won't feel my little girl for two hours and then for like a half hour straight she's move all over. My Dr told this is all pretty normal with how little room she has and since they do sleep so much.

[Bri_1985]

Yes its normal. Bubs doesnt have much room anymore so movement is limited Mine still manages a hearty kick or punch every once in awhile but usually hes just shifting or has hiccups or sleeping. And Ive heard some say that the later you are girls tend to get more lazy than boys. Not sure how true that is but yeah. I wouldnt take it to heart though since Im sure its an old wives tale or something.

[shak_436]

yeah mine strecthes more than kicking and punching now,but my baby has very long quite periods which worries me a little

[Franky91]

She doesnt kick me so much but she streches and wriggles and has hicuups all the time so more active in the movin her body about but not in kickin or punchin
