Movements at 31 weeks

Does anyone else feel like their movements are more subtle since being further along in the pregnancy? I can feel my baby moving inside my belly but I don't feel the movements as "strong" when I put my hand on my belly. Not sure if it's because they've changed from "kicking" to "rolling" movements.

Anyone else feel the same?

Yes I feel the same
She was really active and strong movements and now they have eased off slightly
If I tap my stomach she does respond back and she is still moving

Baby is running out of room now so movements feel more like pushes and rolls than kicks ❤️ all normal xx

Yes, I do feel this. I also think baby has moved to have his back to my front so I feel less of the obvious kicks and hits. But definitely his moves feel more subtle - still there but less blatant. Although occasionally once or twice a day he’ll do a big fanfare dance move and my whole belly feels like it’s going to wobble off!

Yes same in 31 weeks

Do active babies in the womb become active newborns?

I had my 40 week ultrasound yesterday (on my due date) and the doctor mentioned how active my baby is. Curious as to your experiences regarding if your baby was active in the womb, are they likely to be active when they’re newborn? 😊

Small bumps

I have a really small bump, at 27 weeks pregnant. People keep commenting on the fact my bump is so small and its starting to worry & get me down. Has anyone here had a small bump with a baby that weighed measured average size? Its really worrying me! I have a 30 week scan and one at 37 weeks because im on a moderate pathway - had a gastric sleeve in 2023 so its to check she is growing but as the comments are coming im now panicking where I wasnt before 😫

Early Labour?

I’m 34 weeks today, since 3am I’ve been having irregular cramping which becomes quite intense and has caused me to vomit. I’ve also had diarrhoea. Could I be in early labour or could I just have a bad stomach? I feel generally well in myself

7 w post c-section running

When is it ok to start running again? Health visitor advised to wait longer before running but did anyone start at 7 weeks and how?
I know I won't be running marathons any time soon and probably have to start back at a couch to 5k but when?! I'm getting restless legs! Advice please

Second day post section

Hi all - I had my c section on the evening of the 17th so I’m on my second day of recovery. Yesterday I felt pretty good and was walking round the ward, with some pain obviously but it was manageable and wasn’t getting to me. I came home last night so 24 hours after section but today the pain seems to have got worse. Just feel much more bruised and achey. Was this the case for anyone else, that it got worse before better? Thanks
