Small movements

So I'm 35 weeks and so are alot of other people I know. Their babies poke out of their bellies and move alot. Mine barely moves most of the time, and when she does, they are never huge movements. Nothing ever really sticks out like you see in videos people post. Is this normal? I feel like I'm alone on this one.

Yes it is normal.. each pregnancy is different. My 1st pregnancy u could see it, 2nd u couldn't n this is in the middle. There are a alot a factors also that goes into it. Such as where ur placenta attached if it's up low in front or behind. N the size of the baby. The amt of fluid. Etc. But as long as ur baby moves it's fine.

My baby doesn't make grands, sweeping movements either. More like twitches. My tummy will jump when he kicks, but I dont ever see those crazy rolling, stretching movements.
I did start off with a lot of extra skin on my tummy due to a large pre pregnancy weight loss, so I wonder if that extra flab would make a difference?

I don't see things sticking out and doubt I will. I have an anterior placenta so in have a whole bunch of cushioning on the front .I'm 32 weeks and my little boy still moves a lot but there are some days where he doesn't move much at all. If your worrried you can always go get checked out but just remember at 35 weeks your little one doesn't have as much room as it used to to move around .
