? about movement at 38 weeks

MyLittleLove

I haven't experienced any strong jabs or kicks. I don't see any foot or hand prints. Is this normal?? He moves quite a bit but I don't feel anything like I see other women around this gestation complaining about... It makes me wonder I'd he'll be functional.

well im 35+ weeks and i was thinking the same thing, but im sure that he is just getting too big and doesn't have a lot of room.

@hsweetie21
I would go with that but his movements have been the same from 34 weeks on. haven't really gotten any stronger or any different I always forget to mention it to my doctor.

MyLittleLove

I just find it strange that it hasn't gotten much stronger at all.

mine have turned more into rolls like hes readjusting.. its normall.. hes just cramped lol.. imagine yourself in a cramped space like that .. lol.. as long as hes moving around your good

Could just be the way he's positioned or maybe he's only comfortable moving the way he does. Every baby is different, so don't get to worried about it.

@lae3
that's pretty much all I feel too but I was just expecting to see some elbows and feet and hands like those people on youtube... I guess I should be happy that I'm not getting masacrated @Diverwfe

lae3

yes thats true.. lol.. my first got his foot in my ribs the last 4wks of preg.. i was always uncomfortable and would have to push his foot out.. alot of times id get it out and he'd shuv it right back up there.. lol.. my obnoxiouse one.. lol

I read that later in pregnancy those strong kicks and jabs begin to feel more like rolls and stretching because baby has less room to move around. My baby is the same way. As long as you feel baby moving regularly you shouldn't worry

@mrsSilver
I read that too but I never had any strong kicks. Uncomfortable movements but never any strong fetal kicking or punching... he's cramped now I bet but even before he was... maybe I have a lazy baby

MyLittleLove

@lae3
lol what's he like now? I think mine is a lazy one

lae3

the same lol.. hes off the hook and really active.. lol.. hes really smart though.. my second was a roller and hes more of my sneaky quiet one.. lol.. my first cant get away with anything.. cause hes so loud.. hehehhe.. lol
