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>
