baby not moving as much

[Inspired007]

I am a little nervous. May 25 was the first real day that I noticed my baby's kicking. She kicked hard enough for my Dh to feel her through my skin. All last week she was kicking and tumbling so much to the point that I almost felt nauseous! She was bouncing around on my bladder so much and it was NOT fun, although it was reassuring at the same time. Now, I barely feel her all day. On Sunday, I felt her move only a handful of times. Yesterday about the same. Today, none so far. I've been poking and prodding and last night she responded but only a little. I haven't been feeling her kick long enough to really know if she is hyper or laid back but last week had me thinking that she would be kicking my butt the whole pregnancy. Now, I am just so fearful that something is wrong. On Friday, I had an Ob/Gyn appt and listened to the heartbeat so as of Friday, all was well.

So, you ladies who have more than the one you're carrying, what do you think? Am I just nervous?

:hug momma! I think it is too early to feel consistent, regular movement at this point! Even with all the previous activity. I think your situation sounds very normal as well! It is too early to do fetal kick counts and from really everything I've ever read or heard from my MW or an ob/gyn this is normal at this point. Babe is still small enough that movements are sometimes subtle and not felt, especially when you are active. It sounds like you could go have a listen to the hb again to put your mind at ease too.

Yeah, a bit early for feeling daily activity. My DD did that to me when I was about 30wks and I found out she had flipped herself to breech so I didnt feel the kicks in the ribs so much. Besides you probably wouldn't feel kicks as much if (for example) the baby turned around to face your spine- positioning is everything at this stage...
