Baby slowing down

[boymomof2]

I've noticed lately he is slowing down and not as active. I still feel him move but the all day kicking has stopped and now it's only at certain parts of the day but only about  a couple kicks then stops. My other two were movers and shakers up until I was in labor. Is this normal for them to slow down like this with 8 weeks to go? I don't see Perinatal for another 2 weeks. Things have been tightening up more and more sometimes being painful but still not active labor so is he just running out of room to move?

They don’t kick as much but more rolls and stuff. Movement does not really slow down and they should still be active at a similar level (myth that it slows down). It’s just no longer kicks. Always call if you’re concerned as it’s better for it to be nothing than to be something.

Have you done movement counts? You should still be feeling 10 in an hour.

DD has not slowed down necessarily, but movements now are definitely different since she's running out of room.

If I remember correctly, he's measuring pretty big, right? Maybe he's just running out of room so the feeling is different like knx9211 mentioned. In any case, if you are concerned, it doesn't hurt to call and see what the Dr has to say!

From what I’ve been told by my dr, that is not normal. I would definitely call!

stellelinds25, He is measuring big. As of Friday I'm measuring a month ahead. I felt him move after eating lunch. He's pushing as hard as he can trying to stretch and it's not working for him. I also have mesh from a previous hernia that is preventing me from stretching much up top so pretty uncomfortable for both of us.
