Getting worried again.

[blessedmomof3]

So, I am 24 weeks and will be 25 weeks Thursday. Until yesterday my baby was realy active. She would move for long periods at a time and her kicks were getting harder and harder. It was to the point we could just sit and watch my belly move. Then yesterday it was just a little kick here and there, and not very hard at all. I almost don't feel them at all. I have tried all the tricks and nothing seems to be working to get her moving for any period of time or to get stronger kicks from her. You can't even see them anymore. Something else I noticed is that she was kicking around my belly button and now they are all down low, like in my pelvic area. Should I be concerned or has anyone else experienced this?

The baby most likely moved in  another position. She could be turned around and kicking in the back. Don't worry.

I had the same worries!  I did ask my ob about baby kicking down low and he told me it was normal.  Anna had a few slow days as well that almost sent me to my ob but they did pass.  I did keep my doppler till after Anna was born though  :)

Thank You all so much for awnsering. I feel much better knowing this is common. I just wish I didn't have to send my doppler back already, it always kept me so calm.....LOL I gulped a large soda and ate some candy and now I am feeling her more. :)

I worry about this as well.  Some days I feel my little man constantly and a few times I have also seen a little "poke out"..perhaps a foot or something.  Other days it's hardly anything and very light.  It's also all over the place.  I do notice I feel the kicks stronger around my belly button and they are more "fluttery" when lower.  I know that I have an anterior placenta, so that can affect things.  Also, I think much depends on positioning.  I wouldn't worry too much.  I keep reading that at this stage the movements and kicks are pretty inconsistant and will get stronger as they get bigger.

Babies in utero have down days too...

totally normal! : )   i always worried about the same thing though - and still do! but she defintely has more active days and then days of laziness!  my dr always told me that until after 28 weeks their movement really isnt consistent.. and my baby did the same thing as far as flipping and moving in there - i would feel it low down and then it would be different- they can still do sumersaults at this point in time! : )     sugar doesnt always work for me either... if she wants to rest, she is pretty stubborn it seems!: ) your getting there!!!! yeaaa! : )

It's normal... baby is just like us.. one day he/she is very active and another day they can be lazy and quiet... i have same problem as yours... as long as once awhile you feel the movement..

I am 25 weeks also... once awhile i feel the pressure lower my pelvic area.. sometimes i feel upper tummy.. baby is trying to move around...

to do the trick.. eat some sweet like chocolate or cookies.. that do the trick.. :-)  sometimes i pat around my tummy and baby hate that... he will moves...

good luck and don't worry too much... you will be fine after 20 weeks of pregnancy...:-)
