Due Date Club September 2004:baby movements
2004-08-03
Name: sweetie



Hi Guys,
Hope everyone is doing wonderful. I am 33 weeks so far. Things are ok as such. One thing I worry about is baby movements. I do feel the movements but they are not as strong as other people have described them. I can sleep well also, do not wake up or have problems because of too much movements.

My baby is active at times but not always. I am getting worried about this. Wanted to know from you guys how strong are movements for you and can you fell them all day long.

Dear Sweetie,
it's very normal to feel occasional moments anytime from week 33. The less movements does not mean a trouble although it could be a possibility. Usually less movements are beacause of the fact that your little one has limiting space to jump/swim as much as before.
Not scaring but if the baby is yet to head down then you are likely to feel less movements, breech baby can't move as much a head down baby does. Baby can get head down normally anytime between week 28 to week 36. Unless identified breech in week 37 you should not worry on that part.

As long as your baby moves about 10 times in given 2 hours, all is fine. You can choose time anytime the day or night and start counting movements. Usually after dinner in 30 minutes if you lye in the bed on left side and start counting you would get them.

If you don't feel movements when they are supposed to be then give a call to your Dr.

Also to confirm what I said you need to discuss with your Dr.

A tip would be, drink cold water or cold fruit juice to get kicks in about 15-30 minutes. Do this only when worried or want to know if all is fine.

To me looks normal.

Archie

Hi Archie! Thanks a lot for your response. You always give answers to our queries. You are a Mom now and still you find time and energy. Keep it up and keep having fun with your baby.

Ok, I will track movements after dinner every day. Thanks again.

Hi,
I saw ur query. i have no clue how old this is. but since i knew both the meanings ... thought of informing u. Sani - Gift
Saniya - Wisdom

saniya is a sanskrit word. but since saniya mirza is a muslim ... it sure is a name for both religions. as far as sani is concerned ... i have no clue ... to which religion it belongs.
