He'd get still too. Normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movements-suddenly-changing#post-2607649 Sat, 20 Aug 2016 07:58:07 +0000 Amorini 2607649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: Around 31w my baby was breech. I have a little kickboxer too and at some point between 31w - 32w, he or she flipped head down. I thought I would notice an actual flop but I didn't. Like others have said, there's still room in there! My belly also gets visibly contorted when the baby moves a ton. I had it happen in a meeting around 32w and I was so embarrassed because it had to be noticeable to all. No one said anything. Of course, we feel it all so it's super hard for us to ignore. I also felt like the baby was doing flipturns last weekend at 33w -- like constantly for 5 minutes -- but at my scan the next day, he or she was head down and totally chill. Get ready for a wiggly baby!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movements-suddenly-changing#post-2607557 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 22:03:14 +0000 Bernieboo 2607557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol! This started happening to me around 26/27 weeks too! If I cross my arms over my belly, baby kicks at my arms, sometimes hard enough to push them off my belly. I think baby doesn't like the feeling/pressure of it. Same thing happened when they put a monitor on me at the hospital a few weeks ago, kicking directly at the spot where the monitor was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movements-suddenly-changing#post-2607242 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 12:32:36 +0000 catlady 2607242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: Lol, yes, it can get very intense! If it helps to know, I mentioned to my OB last week that my LO was moving a ton all of a sudden and she said that was a good sign that he was healthy. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movements-suddenly-changing#post-2607129 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 10:45:01 +0000 cascademom 2607129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They move a ton all of the time. My second kiddo was transverse until close to the end of my pregnancy. As with his pregnancy, we came close to doing something like a version, but he flipped right on time and was more than ready to be born when I went into labor. It's the same kid that beat getting induced for high blood pressure too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movements-suddenly-changing#post-2607054 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 08:54:51 +0000 Goldengirl 2607054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: thanks! I just couldn't believe how much it scared me when he pushed on my hand, I seriously squealed and jumped! I'm kind of nervous to keep my hand there now... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movements-suddenly-changing#post-2607014 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 08:19:17 +0000 catlady 2607014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, this is normal. It's started happening to me recently (24 weeks) and was the same last time. Definitely gets so much worse by the end too. Heh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movements-suddenly-changing#post-2607012 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 08:18:32 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2607012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: also there is a good chance position has changed. But it's not a worry until like 34-36 weeks if he's not head down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movements-suddenly-changing#post-2607009 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 08:15:53 +0000 Goldengirl 2607009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I worry about this haha! Part of it might be that I'm fairly thin so I feel like I can feel and see EVERYTHING. It looks like there's an alien in there doing kickboxing, that's the best way I can explain it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movements-suddenly-changing#post-2607002 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 08:09:59 +0000 maddyz 2607002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 36 weeks and this baby moves around and kicks way more then lo1 ever did. I am still surprised by it daily. There is so much time for baby to find his head down spot, no worries if he's doing flips or hanging out sideways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movements-suddenly-changing#post-2607000 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 08:09:09 +0000 nana87 2607000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Feeling less movement all the sudden is more of something to worry about -- for me it was a sign on low fluid. But more movement is good! And there's plenty of time for baby to changes positions so don't worry about that yet </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movements-suddenly-changing#post-2606980 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 07:47:02 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2606980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh honey, it's going to get way stronger! </p> <p>That's great though he's so strong and healthy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-movements-suddenly-changing#post-2606974 Fri, 19 Aug 2016 07:41:44 +0000 Goldengirl 2606974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 26.5 weeks and the past couple days the baby suddenly feels totally different in the way he's moving. Before the kicks were fairly gentle, could feel them under my hand since week 18, like little air bubbles. Now it feels like he's turned sideways/transverse because I can feel his actual feet on my side... and his kicks (or punches) feel waaaay stronger and have actually been making me jump! When I put my hand on my belly it feels like he's punching me right in the hand... almost like twitchy/jerky kind of feelings. It's hard to describe but feels totally different and I can also see TONS of waves and movement when I look at my stomach now.. like he's constantly turning and rolling and going wild in there.</p> <p>Did anyone else feel such a sudden change in how the baby felt or feel freaked out by it? I feel silly getting startled but some of the movements seriously feel like he's about to push right through my skin! I also worry about him being on his side and maybe that's why he's going nuts in there... if he can't move into the position he needs to be in. Clearly having lots of irrational FTM thoughts!! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feel-baby-very-low-down-when-does-he-move-up#post-2582102 Thu, 07 Jul 2016 06:30:36 +0000 PinkElephant 2582102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>23 weeks and baby is hanging out super low - they have to put the Doppler below my hip bone to find her heart rate at the doctor! I had an amnio and now I've been joking that she won't go anywhere near where that needle was. 😊 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feel-baby-very-low-down-when-does-he-move-up#post-2581996 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 20:37:12 +0000 Goldengirl 2581996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks! It's weird because people always see my belly and want to touch it and they place their hand on the top, naturally, and I'm like... the baby is nowhere near there, but go ahead! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feel-baby-very-low-down-when-does-he-move-up#post-2581971 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 19:37:57 +0000 katsupgirl 2581971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was feeling baby boy that low around then too. I can't say exactly when he moved up but I'm 31 weeks now and I mostly feel him higher up. I think I've been feeling him higher up from about 28 weeks. Not positive though. My first was always higher up so this is new to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feel-baby-very-low-down-when-does-he-move-up#post-2581909 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 17:26:15 +0000 Portboston 2581909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only ever felt movement higher then my belly button when I got pretty big towards the end. I have a long torso so I always felt movement low. It also depends on how the baby is positioned! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feel-baby-very-low-down-when-does-he-move-up#post-2581904 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 17:22:59 +0000 delight 2581904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 23 weeks and I still feel the movement down low!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feel-baby-very-low-down-when-does-he-move-up#post-2581900 Wed, 06 Jul 2016 17:15:32 +0000 Goldengirl 2581900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just curious if most people around 20 weeks still feel their babies very low in their abdomen? When I feel his little kicks and movements, it's almost always in my pelvic area, just below where the top of my underwear is. I know the uterus is supposed to be up to my belly button at this point so wondering why I rarely ever feel him higher. Is that typical? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-kicks-and-movement#post-2209088 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 15:18:24 +0000 CakeLady 2209088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am tall, have a long torso, and carried fairly low, I only felt a few kicks to the ribs my entire pregnancy. I think DS just had a good amount of room to move around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-kicks-and-movement#post-2209067 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 15:02:33 +0000 paigeface 2209067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you all for your responses! It was reassuring to read them. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-kicks-and-movement#post-2208386 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 07:27:42 +0000 krispi 2208386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 31 weeks, I've had some really strong kicks down low but none yet toward my ribs. I haven't been woken up by kicks that I'm aware of, but sometimes it does take her a little while to settle down after I go to bed so I can get to sleep. At my 28 week ultrasound, she was head down with her feet over her head, so I think a lot of it has to do with their position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-kicks-and-movement#post-2208384 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 07:24:26 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2208384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 35 weeks tomorrow and I haven't been kicked in the ribs yet! And I think when I was around 27 weeks, I still remember thinking why was I only feeling him so low? So don't worry! Things are about to get a long stronger soon, so enjoy now ;) Although my LO hasn't kicked me in the ribs yet, he loves to work the same spots over and over! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-kicks-and-movement#post-2208355 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 06:29:14 +0000 Portboston 2208355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt movement super early (16 weeks) and my baby's kicks have been obvious ever since. That being said, I've never been kicked in the ribs or woken up from movement. I'm currently 32 weeks. I have a friend who is 33 weeks and didn't feel kicks until she was about 24 weeks. Everyone is different! I think it really depends on how your body is situated as well...if you have a longer torso (like myself) the baby doesn't really reach the ribs until much later!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-kicks-and-movement#post-2208307 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 23:28:13 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2208307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never felt rib kicks or really any movement high up. All of my movement was down low.</p> <p>I also never had enough movement to wake me up at night or keep me from falling asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-kicks-and-movement#post-2208306 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 23:28:02 +0000 mrscobee 2208306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@paigeface: here's to hoping we feel more movement soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-kicks-and-movement#post-2208299 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 23:22:16 +0000 kitty 2208299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just shy of 30 weeks and he hasn't quite reached my ribs yet either. I did get woken up the other night though - it felt like someone was shaking my belly to wake me up and I was confused until I realised he was just wiggling around in there! It never happened until this week though, so perhaps your little guy will be doing the same to you soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-kicks-and-movement#post-2208297 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 23:17:15 +0000 simplyfelicity 2208297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All that matters is that you feel movement. I didn't start feeling rib kicks until much later on, your baby just isn't the right length yet.<br /> The movements change from kicks to twisting, turning and stretching as baby runs out of room. Just enjoy this time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-kicks-and-movement#post-2208294 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 23:13:31 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2208294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I carried low and didn't feel those high movements ever with my first.</p> <p>This time I am carrying extra low so I don't expect them.</p> <p>As for being woken up I don't remember it ever waking me up even though I know the movements got to the point of my whole tummy moving. This lo maybe I could see it waking me up because he is so low my hips are gonna be hurting!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-kicks-and-movement#post-2208117 Sun, 14 Jun 2015 18:31:10 +0000 hellobeeboston 2208117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think everyone is different! I wouldn't worry. And as the baby gets bigger you may feel more. Do you know if you have an anterior placenta? If so you will definitely feel less. </p>
