Anxious AF

Hi mummies! Is it true that when labour is nearing, baby will be very quiet in the stomach??

M in my 35th week. My gynae made me monitor my baby movement. Apparently there should be some movement every hr.. if don't have she told me to give tummy a bit of a shake to get baby moving. If really got no movement I was told to go in to the hospital to get them to make sure baby is alright Do check with ur gynae as well though.

Movements generally get less as baby gets bigger n you are approaching due date. So make sure u monitor movements at least every 2 hours

Not really quiet. Lesser movements but there will be stronger movements. Guess its due to the lack of space in our tummy.

Not too sure but not the case for mine. Baby was active and kicking up a storm as it gets closer to the due date

Not really. Mine still kicking even when I’m being pushed into OT waiting to be c sec.

Nope, mine were kicking me like crazy up to birth.

No baby normally quite active Consult gynae

Depends on individual. Consult your gynae
