barley moving

Im 28 weeks today. My baby girl use to move CONSTANTLY. Now she barley moves at all. I can feel her turning over still.. but barley any kicks. Not like a week ago when all she did was kick and punch and do summer salts in there.. Does anyone know why that is? It's making me very nervous..

I'm 28 weeks as well. I wouldn't panic unless there is no movement at all. You have to understand that baby is growing which means less room, and baby is sleeping a lot these days. If your concerned call your doc but I know from my own experience she moves when she wants lol she has a sleeping pattern as well.

I recall reading this post a few days ago and now that I'm 28 wks, I too feel baby is slowing down. I do feel movement after eating/drinking or sitting down. Its not constant but a few movements. I'm not sure whether to panic or not. My placenta is at the front and I've read that it makes feeling kicks harder. I'm not sure what to make of this either. Maybe I should just be still and start counting.

I'm 31 weeks and my baby's kicks are mostly gone. Running out of room. Still lots of stretching and moving though. If your baby slows down or stops all movements go to doctor asap

I will be 28wks tomorrow and noticed baby's having busy and lazy days. He was busy yesterday and today less so but enough for me know he is there. Same thing happened last week. Nowadays when I give my belly a little tap he taps back, so cute! Gets me laughing everytime. I find it hard to believe they're running out of space already, but apparently they are growing fast at this point and getting heavier too. From 28 wks we're meant to keep count, just make sure baby moves throughout the day I guess.

I went to the docs for the same thing last week, apparently the baby is just running out of space but as long as you feel some sort of movement shouldnt worry.
