Has anyone had a change in movements at this stage? 36 weeks and the last couple of days instead of lots of wriggling around I’ve just been getting baby pushing out of my stomach if that makes sense?
I find it really hard to explain, but kind of pushing and creating lumps in my bump, but overall slower. I do think baby has changed position which could be why it feels different.
I will say I have been in for monitoring and everything seemed normal, I’m just finding the change really unsettling!

I’m the exact same! 38 weeks now and it’s definitely changed. The pushing out thing is really weird, and as a first time mom it’s so hard to know if it’s normal or not! X

I’m 38 weeks tomorrow and this baby feels like it’s pushing so hard and making my belly almost flat on one side and a massive lump on another! Very uncomfortable 😅

37 weeks and the exact same thing is happening to me! Sounds like it is normal!

Same here at 37 almost 38 weeks it’s baby finding the position for labour I think I’m also a first time mum but that’s what I was told xx

I also have the pushing it’s feels like she’s trying to kick and claw her way out of me! Xx

I can relate with you word to word. Same exact things happening since 36 week. I’m now 38+ 4 and feels like there is not much space for the baby to move around.

Yes totally agreed, 36 weeks again and he’s gone from moving constantly to the point it was so strong I felt sick, to just small movements occasionally. I had a growth scan yesterday and everything was fine and they said he’s running out of room so I assume that’s why! We have got this ladies xx

I had exactly the same thought at 35 weeks and went for a scan and they said about the limited room he now has changed the kind of movements he can do. Definitely less of the barrel rolls and karate kicks and more slow and very forceful sticking out of his bum!!
Hi all, just got home after being admitted into hospital for 24 hrs for a very high blood pressure reading at a routine midwife appt. I'm currently 38+4 and have now agreed to be induced between 39 - 39+3 as they don't want me to go any longer due to the BP, it's currently hypertension but obviously a risk of it developing into preeclampsia. All I'm seeing are negative induction stories. Does anyone have any positive ones at a similar stage? And how long did it take? Thanks 🙂

I’ll preface this by saying, feeling her move is so reassuring as makes me so happy knowing she’s okay in there.
But the actual sensation of her moving at 22 weeks makes me feel really weird inside. At this time is more rolling and swiping, and makes me jump and shift uncomfortably. I feel like I should love this part of being pregnant, but I’m not which makes me feel guilty. Anyone else?

Had my CS Tuesday. Felt really well afterwards but today I've struggled especially as day has gone on. Feeling like I need more pain relief. When does the pain start to ease off ?

How accurate was everyone’s weight estimates based on ultrasound vs weight at birth?
