Movements

Could be that baby’s facing inward towards your spine so you can’t feel the kicks as hard your feeling the wiggle of the shoulders and the head/hips moving. if your worried give triage a ring to be seen x

I'm 29 weeks also, and I feel like this. It's like a constant rumbling more than big movements. When I saw my midwife last week, she said baby was head down. So I think it's maybe that I can feel more hands and body than feet now. I'm sure the kicks will come back in the next few weeks when she gets up to my ribs though!

@Lisa ah ok that's interesting as at my 28wk scan I was told baby was breech position and when I went to bed last night, I felt very different kind of movement and a lot of it in one go, I said to my other half I wonder if baby has now turned around and is head down, which would make sense. Is there anyway of knowing the position without a scan? X

@Charlotte midwife can feel baby’s position at your next appointment they can usually tell the difference between baby’s head and bum through your bump

@Charlotte I didn't have a clue she was head down, and I have no idea how the midwife knew! It sometimes feels hard around my belly button, so I'm presuming that's her bum. I very rarely feel movement above my belly button at the moment.

@Megan ok thank you! I'm not seeing her for just over a week but will ask when I go thanks x

Im 29+1 also, second baby, and my movements have changed last day - still happening but down lower and feel more internal rather than up high. Think shes changed position. Feels sometimes likr a hamster running in a hamster wheel 😂 not a fan, want her to move back to her other position 😅😅😅

I feel kicks near my pubic bone and then I’ll feel him flip over and I’ll then feel above my belly button x

I have this same worry all the time. I’m 29+3. Some days baby girl is super active - kicks strong enough to shake me in bed 😂 other days I feel a light flutter here and there & get so down and worried. Then just as I’m ready to call the hospital she’ll get all active again. Just keeping me on my toes 🥹 I have watched my belly move & not been able to feel anything though so I think sometimes she’s moving I’m just not feeling her. 😌
