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/feeling-movement-could-it-be#post-2576360 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 18:24:17 +0000 mfa_lady 2576360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: Ha, I had a low-lying placenta with my first (they had to watch it from 20 to 24 weeks, but it resolved itself) and I felt movement every day from 18 weeks on. And, not sure if it's related at all, but to your point: my girl never--and I do mean never--slows down, even now at 18 months. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-movement-could-it-be#post-2576306 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 16:22:31 +0000 Goldengirl 2576306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just saw my stomach move when he kicked, like a little alien is in there... so crazy! My doctor said this is pretty early to be feeling so much... hope that doesn't mean he's going to be crazy hyper when he gets here :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-movement-could-it-be#post-2575364 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 23:32:33 +0000 LCTBQE 2575364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: in the beginning, yes. I think by about 23 or 24 weeks I was feeling him constantly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-movement-could-it-be#post-2575309 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 19:24:57 +0000 Autumnmama79 2575309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: yes it comes and goes! Just like us, babies are not go go go everyday. There are days when they are busy resting - and growing :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-movement-could-it-be#post-2575307 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 19:15:17 +0000 LindsayLou 2575307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /><p><i>This comment has been deleted by the original poster.</i></p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-movement-could-it-be#post-2575299 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 18:34:20 +0000 LindsayLou 2575299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: I didn't really start gaming until close to 30 weeks. I lost a couple pounds in the first trimester, mainly because nothing sounded good to eat. I think I had maybe gained 5 lbs at 25 weeks. I'm small to begin with--only 5'2, and usually 115 lbs. every bit of fat I had went to baby. My arms and legs were super skinny. Even my fingers were skinny. </p> <p>By the end of my pregnancy, I'd gained 30+ pounds. Baby weighed 7 lb 15 oz, so no weight issues for her either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-movement-could-it-be#post-2575274 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 16:29:57 +0000 Bibliolove 2575274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: I'm not pregnant, but have had trouble gaining weight in general. Can you try smoothies made with whole milk yogurt, a few T of coconut oil, fruit, nuts/seeds, etc? I also made it a point to track what I ate, so I could see oh I need to eat a bigger breakfast/more snacks, etc. Whole wheat toast with lots of natural peanut butter or almond butter is a great snack before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-movement-could-it-be#post-2575257 Sat, 25 Jun 2016 15:28:34 +0000 Goldengirl 2575257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was moving a lot yesterday and the day before and today almost nothing. Does it come and go like that at first? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-movement-could-it-be#post-2574937 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 17:58:05 +0000 red_seattle 2574937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's what it felt like for me. I felt it at 17 wks with my son, and 14 weeks with my daughter. DH felt them both kick on the outside at 18 wks or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-movement-could-it-be#post-2574933 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 17:50:31 +0000 thepicklemonster 2574933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's exactly what it felt like for me, but it took until around 21w! I haven't felt the flutter that people describe, more just the bubbly feeling and now at almost 25w it is stronger and much more frequent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-movement-could-it-be#post-2574875 Fri, 24 Jun 2016 15:46:15 +0000 LatteLove 2574875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: I definitely didn't feel like butterflies with my first - was more like waves! Definitely sounds like baby movements to me :-)</p> <p>With this one (I'm also 18.5 weeks) I went from feeling almost nothing to very definite kicks in the past week! </p>
