I'd say baby has slowed down since early evening yesterday. But also seems pretty snug (and still up high in my belly!) so I'll just keep waiting and wondering if any little twinge could be a sign :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2534428 Tue, 26 Apr 2016 14:27:36 +0000 Bubbles 2534428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 was induced but I don't remember LO2 slowing down at all. He never moved that much though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2534397 Tue, 26 Apr 2016 13:54:14 +0000 kodybear 2534397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I could still get enough kicks for kick counts but it definitely took longer. After I mentioned to my Ob I had a couple hours of NSTs. DD ended up being fine but extra sleepy. My water broke the next day. For my son it happened as well and I went into labor a couple days later </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2534390 Tue, 26 Apr 2016 13:50:39 +0000 Happygal 2534390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: I was just thinking about you this morning and wondering how things are going. Looking forward to a a baby update hopefully soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2534337 Tue, 26 Apr 2016 13:07:34 +0000 alphagam84 2534337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Her movements never slowed down in the days leading up and my OB actually advised if there was a sudden decrease in movement to come in for monitoring as something may be wrong with the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2533936 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 21:42:49 +0000 winniebee 2533936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I never mAde it past 38+4 with my two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2533927 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 21:21:59 +0000 Torchwood 2533927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, she was active and moving pretty much until she was too far down to move anymore. Which didn't feel good during contractions! But it was comforting since it was preterm labor with unexplained bleeding. I knew she was at least somewhat okay because she wouldn't stop wiggling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2533890 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 19:52:24 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2533890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. She was active during labor also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2533877 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 19:38:38 +0000 littlebear16 2533877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Doctor told me it was normal. She was a pretty big baby and I'm fairly petite, so I think she was running out of room. She didn't move much at all when I was in early labor, but that could be because I was soothing her to sleep by pacing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2533874 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 19:35:02 +0000 wrkbrk 2533874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: Not for me! Same old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2533789 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 17:06:55 +0000 Ms.Badger 2533789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, J definitely did. I told my OB who did increased fetal monitoring (it ended up being basically a whole day), he was totally fine in there and I went into labor less than 24 hours later </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2533785 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 16:59:49 +0000 wheres_c 2533785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I was told to be concerned if things slowed down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2533779 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 16:50:30 +0000 travellingbee 2533779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2533778 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 16:48:40 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2533778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope and I was the same as Rescuemom10 with a big 9.14 baby who moved around a lot even at 42 weeks. Probably could have gotten bigger I guess. She was somehow finding space in my stomach. She was rudely evicted via induction then c section. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2533776 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 16:45:55 +0000 LAZB 2533776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, and my doctor always said that the baby shouldn't slow down, that can be a sign of fetal distress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2533774 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 16:40:16 +0000 gingerbebe 2533774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to L&amp;D at 38 weeks exactly because I didn't feel DS1 move for like 12 hours. My water broke at 38w5d, although I never had contractions and had to be induced. So sorta? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2533701 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 15:10:26 +0000 Rescuemom10 2533701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing considerable. DD was a big baby. Ended up being bigger than we expected. By a LOT. So towards the end I noticed a lot less movement for awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2533690 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 14:57:22 +0000 MrsKoala 2533690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. My LO was active even in early labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2533688 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 14:55:58 +0000 Autumnmama79 2533688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember with DD either lol... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2533678 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 14:50:30 +0000 sslm 2533678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wondering the same thing! I don't think there was any noticeable change in movement with my DD though... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-baby-slow-down-prior-to-labour-starting#post-2533676 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 14:48:29 +0000 Autumnmama79 2533676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This has been mentioned to me by my OB and others. As I wait on pins and needles at 38+6 for baby to come, I'm wondering if it was true for you? Did baby's movements slow down 1-2 days before birth? </p>
