30 weeks and worried
Im 30 weeks and i dont feel pregnant. Apart from still throwing up every day theres nothing else, theres no pressure theres no braxton hicks theres no lightning crotch. My midwife couldnt feel/find my baby to tell me where abouts they are positioned so said we'll try again next time. My bump is small and looked bigger when i was 24 weeks. I can still button up my lab coat at work, cross my legs, do my shoes. I feel the odd kick here and there but nothing major, no rolls or frequent movements. It will be a random light kick a couple of times a day. I have been in for reduced movements at 27weeks as they went from being a very active baby to very quiet and they said baby is fine, since then they have stayed at a quiet level.
Its weird because i know i should feel grateful im not in pain etc and trust me i do, but its also just making me overthink somethings not right. I had pelvic girdle pain in early second trimester for a month which had me unable to walk and now theres not even a twinge. My midwife has just been changed over to a new one who i dont see for another 2 weeks.
Is anyone else the same? It seems the more time passes the less pregnant i feel and it certainly doesnt feel like i could give birth in 10 weeks

Oh hun
I’m sorry
It can be worrying
Kinda in the same situation
I’m 30 weeks and I barely here my baby move
I went to my midwife and everything was okay but as a first time mom
It would be nice to hear my baby’s kick
I pray everything goes well with you
But don’t stop going to your midwife just to make sure xxx
All the best
I didn't feel pregnant until 32 weeks. People at work finally commented that I looked pregnant and it's definitely more awkward to move and sit!
i feel the same way, im 32 weeks and almost all symptoms have gone other than my back hurting, i forget that i'm pregnant all the time until i feel a kick (which have also reduced a lot from earlier on) my midwife was struggling to find my baby at my last appointment too
i worry a lot and have anxiety, so i know near enough how you're feeling and we'll be okay!!
I felt the same once i hit the third trimester but it’s important to remember that as the baby’s getting bigger it has less room to move around and so it’s normal for them to seem less active, my baby definitely moves less often then she did in my second trimester but I was told to expect that so i don’t let it worry me. I think it’s normal to feel super anxious in the last few weeks i’m the same, as soon as i have any pains or anything i panic about my baby so i completely understand your worry. i’ve only just started feeling pregnant myself as im 31 weeks and have only just got a proper bump, i’d try not to stress too much about it every baby is different you might just have a very sleepy bubba, your time will come though im sure x
@Robyn just wanted to clarify that babies shouldn't move less due to less room. The type of movement may feel different, but the actual frequency should not be reduced. Babies' movements generally increase up to around 32 weeks, and then they should stay the same up until birth (including during labour). Just want to make sure that no one writes off reduced/no movement due to thinking it's because they've run out of space.x
Do you have an anterior (at the front) or posterior (at the back) placenta? That will affect the type of movement you feel. I had an anterior with my first and my bump and movement was completely different to how it is now with my second and having a posterior placenta Xx
Yeah my placenta is anterior, i remember at my 24 week appointment telling my midwife how active baby was and it was all day movement, and then 27 weeks reduced movement in triage, 28 week apointment telling her its still quiet. Now 30 and its the same it hasnt gone back to how active they were. Just wish i had more reassurance that they are okay in there. Im measuring just above 50th centile so baby isnt too small so i guess her not being able to feel them was due to them hiding? Hopefully at my next one she will find them and ill also tell them my concerns xx
