friends,

there is something else that bothers me these days. The movements of the baby have become weaker. Sometimes if i do not pay attention, I will not even notice. I am in my 36 weeks. Does anyone else feel the same.

Is it something to worry about?? faki replied. DONT WORRY! WE HAVE ALOT IN COMMON AND I CAN RELATE.(Im 36WKS 3D). THAT WHEN YOU ARE ON YOUR FEET WORKING OR WALKING...IT ROCKS YOUR BABY TO SLEEP.THUS YOU FEEL LESS MOVEMENT DURING THE DAY AND MORE AT NIGHT WHEN YOU RELAX. I KNOW THAT ONCE I GET HOME AND LYE DOWN TO RELAX, BABY REALLY GETS TO MOVING!!!! I HAVE STARTED COUNTING HIS KICKS. YOU SHOULD COUNT ATLEAST 15-20 KICKS/ROLLS ETC..IN A 10 MIN. PERIOD. TRY IT,K. WELL I HOPE I WAS OF HELP ! Shelly replied. Dear Yama,

I too am in my 36 weeks (EDD - 8th Jan). I felt the same last week and went for a check up. All was fine at my end. If you feel something is wrong go for a check up, thts what doctors say. But before that try to change your usual routine a little bit and then try to feel movements. Drinking cold water or having rest for some time lying on ur left and put ur hand on ur tummy may make u feel movements.
If you still think thr is something not right then always talk to your doctor.

Take care
