Baby movements

Hello! I’m 37 weeks and over the last couple days/week I’ve noticed I feel the baby move less than say a month ago. I still feel him at least a couple times a day but he just doesn’t feel as constantly active as earlier in my third trimester. Is this normal? Anyone else noticing this?

I also had this around 36 weeks, noticed the movement were less punchy and had more no activity periods. I also noticed a change in pattern when I stopped work.
My understanding is that it is normal later on to feel them less/differently as they have less room to move about however I still called triage last week and they asked me to come in for monitoring which was all normal. I'd definitely recommend giving them a call if you are worried

My midwife said the movements shouldn’t reduce at all and should be just as much similar to the original pattern but the movements themselves may be different, feel less strong and that’s as of space so less of a punch/kick out and more of a roll or wipe across you. I would say call the assessment centre if unsure xx

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
