Before I entered my 3rd tri, I had read a lot of posts about how people feel the baby move/kick less often in ther 3rd tri due to the baby having less room to move around. I tried to mentally prepare myself for this so I wouldnt be too worried when I didnt feel the baby move as much. I even purchased a stethoscope hoping to hear the heartbeat ( which was totally useless) since i only hear an echo of my own heartbeat so far.
But anyway so far in my 3rd tri, I have actually felt the baby move just as much as before and even more. To the point that I can barely sleep at night because she kicks and moves so much. Sometimes I wonder if thats weird because I thought I was supposed to be feeling less movement rather than more.

with charlie i felt him move less because he was big. with olive i felt her move more -- she did somersaults in there! she was a small baby though and she was born 5 weeks early so i can't speak for late 3rd trimester!

Earlier in the 3rd trimester, I constantly felt like punching bag. Baby still kicks and stretches a lot now but I can tell there's less room in there. I just wonder if this foreshadows his personality/active level when he comes out!

I'm 31 weeks on wednesday, and there are times I definitely feel like a punching bag also! But there are also days where her movements aren't as obvious. I still feel her move every single day, but they are more like stretches and swipes of body parts now instead of direct kicks and punches. Some I don't even notice unless I have my hands resting on my belly, and I feel the movement that way.

I'm 32 weeks today and I am still feeling a lot of movement, though it's different. It's less kicks and more of her rolling around and squirming. I feel like she's always moving, but we'll see how she's doing as we get closer to D-Day.

I'm 34 weeks on Wednesday and she is still going to town in there.

I think LO moved just as much in the 3rd trimester. I just think it seems like less movement because she had less room to move around, so her movement was more deliberate. If that makes sense.

i'm 32 weeks and boy, do i feel movement! more like rolling around in there. i feel like my belly is one of those rolling massages or something. crazy! and i really don't think they have room in there so not sure what's going on. i did read in those week by week books that i should be feeling less. but i definitely feel more. i bet they say that so you're not so concerned if you feel less.

I'm 33 weeks, and so far she is moving about the same amount. She's stronger now though, so her movements hurt sometimes when she gets really rambunctious.

So far I've felt more which I think may be b/c baby has stronger movements that I can feel through my anterior placenta.
