Mothers, kindly I need your advice!

Hi Seanbryan, Since this is an IVF (in vitro fertilization) baby, I understand where the fear is coming from. If this thing bothers a would-be mom on a normal pregnancy, how much more someone who went through a process just to have this precious baby? Must be nerve-wracking. Anyways, from the responses of our myLot friends you may now have to rest your mind. Still, manage to see your OB-Gyne to make sure everything ins fine. I pray everything will be okay and I'll be most happy when I finally learn that the baby's out. Best regards.

I am not a mother but from reading the responses it sound like others have had the same experience and things have been fine. I hope everything goes well for you and wish you all the best as you meet your beautiful healthy little one!

since now its all okay , as I remember, babies do not move much in the last stage of pregnancy because they now start coming towards the opening of the womb and their head starts to get fixed for delivery, may be thats the reason its not moving much, I hardly used to feel their movements in the last term too. go to babycenter.com they do give you lots of advice on newborns and each stage of pregnancy but they sat if you can count up to ten kicks ina day that means baby is fine anyway.

I experienced that with my second baby, he doesn't move a lot like his older brother. Some people say you can check for the heartbeat by feeling your own pulse because you will feel to sets of heartbeats instead of us. I am not sure how true that is. I didn't really worry when he doesn't move that often, I simply assumed that he is more of a sleepyhead than his brother and he indeed is hehehe It was proven when he finally came out and he sleeps more often and doesn't really bother us much at nights like his brother used to.

Dom't stress over it. Is very normal that the baby stiopps moving as often whene it is almost close to your due date becouse they are getting ready to come out. My daughter did the same thing at first it dose scare you but just think he is alright he will be here soon and he wont ever stop moving lol. Haope this helps you. congrates on your little bundle of joy. Happy Mylotting

Hi Mommy SB, Please don't stress yourself too much for worrying about the status of your baby especially now that you already know that your baby is fine. Just relax and talk to your baby to assure you that he/she's alright and believe me, your baby will respond by kicking or doing some movements. Play mellow music and keep your baby relax especially at night and during day time you can play mozart and fast beat music to keep her active. it worked for me and my baby! I am trying to recall my experience but could not think of any because it's been 9 years since my last pregnancy.

Dont worry too much. As long as the doctor tells you everything is fine you should be ok. Babies go through stages of kicking and not kicking. Just wait for after the baby is born and see the stages they go through its amazing. In the mean time just make sure you are doing everything right. if you are that far along I'm sure your baby is fine. Good luck to you :)

hi dear seanbryan its been a v ery long time but I was just like you the last month and the doctor said because your baby is about to be born he or she doesnt have much room now to move around in so what you are experiencing is quite normal. so dont worry just relax and soon your baby will be here. take care. God bless.

It is quite normal for your baby to move a bit less in the last month of pregnancy. The baby is getting into birthing position and beginning to move into the birth canal. You should still feel movement, but probably not as much as before. You did the right thing by getting checked out if you were worried. It is always better to be safe than it is to be sorry. I have been through four pregnancies and I have to say that the first one was the scariest because I did not know what to expect. I remember going through the same thing as you have described, but thankfully, my doctor was in that particular day and I was able to see him personally. He explained to me, that it is quite normal, and the only time I should really worry is if I didn't feel the baby move at all that day. A lot of times, if you lie down, or sit down and relax for a few minutes, the baby will begin to move. If you get worried again, try relaxing for a little while and gently rubbing your tummy. This trick always worked to get my babies to kick.

I'm not a medic, I'm studying to become a teacher but we had to prepare some exams that included pages about pregnancies and babies. I think she's not moving a lot because since you're ready for delivery, she's grown big and there's not enough space for her to move :) don't worry you'll hug her very soon, best of luck to you are your husband and your baby :)

Hi mom-to-be, congratulations with your new baby. It's usual feeling when you are about to give birth, your anxiety increases each day your labor. But relax because anyhing will just turn out ok just dont panic and always calm down because it can affect the day that the bby should come out.

Hi Seanbryan, I think there is nothing to worry because it is very common that the baby does not move because of less space as the baby grows and is ready to come out into the new world. I suggest you that you need not worry and it would be better taking doctor's advice whenever needful. Soon you will be a mother and you can play with your child. Have a nice day.

well i have not been pregnant but based on my knowledge with my nursing profession, babies inside the whom have a timing also when moving and there is also numbers of how many moves there making. you can feel that by doing leopold's maneuver. dont get too worry much because that might increase your blood pressure.

your just excited and worries too much in your baby...your baby that time when you notice not moving the baby was just sleeping....but its good you aware too coz we never see and know whats the baby doing inside our tummy...

Did you manage to consult the doctor? I've read from the book, that during the last month of the pregnancy, as the baby has grown into quite big size, and there is not much space in the womb for the baby to move around, hence the mothers will not feel the movement of the baby as frequent or obvious as the previous months. But it's always good to be alert and keep monitoring the condition of your baby. Just see the doctor if you have any doubt or worries, the doctor is always there to help you out. Sometimes, others' experiences may not be the same. Happy parenting!! ^_^

Half of our worries are false my child. Doctor and that way even nurse knows the position well than you and me. After all how many cases they would have handled. If any problem was there, nurse would have told you. If you tense yourself, that will affect the child also and it will become restless. Keep yourself calm and have positive thinking. Everything will be normal and happy. I pray God for your easy delivery and safety of you and your sweetie cutie. Have faith and pray God. Prayer energy is far more stronger and powerful than anything else. God bless my child.

I know that a baby grows so large that less kicking can be felt in the last month of pregnancy. Remember the first movements felt like light flutters. Then in the middle of pregnancy and later it is like a donkey kicking. I think that you could see your midwife if you are worried. I had my baby girl in June and know she kicked less in that last couple of weeks of pregnancy. Good luck.

I had my first baby in August. She moved alot until the last month and she didn't move a lot either but she was fine. If you talk to her and rub your stomach she will probably move.

When I was pregnant with my son, I had the same experience! The last month he barely moved,and I was constantly worried. Try to relax, the doctor said mine was just a lazy baby and since I'm small, he didn't have much room to move. Anyway, everything was fine and there were no compliciations. Since you are in your last month, I suppose you are being monitored on a weekly basis. If the heartbeat is fine, there is no need to worry. I wish you a quick and speedy delivery and stressing at this point is normal. Soon you will have a beautiful baby!

Dear Seanbryan, I can understand your feeling of worried about the movement of your baby in your womb. Try to relax first. The more relax and calm you are, you can feel your baby's movement easily. If you are very bausy, you may not be so aware of the movement of your unborn baby. You can talk to your baby lovingly. If you have the name of baby, call him or her by name. For instance, you can whisper or talk to your baby,"Baby, I love you. This is your mother. My name is Seanbryan. Please respond to me by kicking gently so as to let me know you are alright." Then, you can give yourself some silent momenet to feel the respond from your baby. If your baby kicks, please say to your baby loveingly," Thank you for your kicking. I feel happy to get the respond from you. I love you." Yourloving communication will help your baby to respond to you. It may take some time to establish the communication pattern between you and your baby. Be patient. Trust and believe that you can do it. I also share some tips and acitivities with mothers during pregnancy on my website and twitter. You can visit them an d find out more information. God bless you and your unborn baby.
