The past 2 weeks LO hasn't been moving as much. When LO does move it often hurts and feels like he/she is trying to burst outof my belly. I can feel LO wiggle around every so often but not nearly as much as I used to. I have an apt on Thursday so I plan to bring it up but is it normal for this to happen? Everything I am reading says I should be feeling way more movement. LO does get hiccups everyday for a short period and based upon where I'm feeling them I think he/she is heads down. Should I call my doctor? Am I being paranoid? Did your movement slow way down?

I"m at 33 weeks, and I feel the same exact way! Her movements have definetely slowed down. I brought it up at my 31 weeks appointment and the doc said it's normal that she's running out of room that if I'm ever concerned that I should lay down on left side for an hour and make sure I feel at least 5 movements, really concentrating on them since some aren't as big as I was used too since she's more scrunched.
Her movements I feel are more painful (i.e. foot in rib cage...ouch) and I have definetley been having more BH contractions as well!

I don't remember when, but I felt less movement towards the end. She just didn't have as much room to move around! I would feel short bursts of movement only once or twice a day instead of the constant movement I was used to. Drinking some juice or caffeine and laying on my left side always got her moving when I would get nervous (which was a lot!) But definitely ask your doctor... they're there to answer questions like that.

It's normal according to my doc. She said its because there is less room for them. She said as long as there's 10 movements within a 2 hour period then there's no need to be worried. Try drinking juice and then laying on your left side, that always worked for me.

My movements def slowed way down towards the end. There wasn't much room to move! There's been a couple times I def counted movements. Sometimes just chugging some water does the trick if not then juice or something super sugary. You have to chug it though.

I think that's normal. While I'm not at 32 weeks yet, I read (in one of my pregnancy apps?? i think) that they're most active between 28 and 32 weeks. Then they have less room to move around after that. I would mention it to your doc at your next appt. though.

There is much less room for your LO to move! I stopped feeling kicks and punches around that time, and just started feeling "bigger" movements, like what you're describing. There isn't enough room for he/she to get momentum for a kick or punch.

My office always told me if my gut told me to be worried about lack of movement to call them and come in.
