Question about movement and my bump!

susan_1981 · Apr 16th, 2012, 11:19 AM

I'm 27 weeks pregnant and have noticed this past couple of days that my bump is lower than it used to be. A girl who I work with was off last week, back today and also commented on it. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it normal?

Also, my second question is that I'm feeling a lot less movement than I did the past few weeks. Is this normal? I'm still feeling movement, but not half as much!

I think it could be normal hun as although Im a bit further on than you I think mine is getting progressively lower as well and midwife didnt seem to think it was a problem.

These are my 24, 26, 28 and 32 week bumps and I reckon Im getting lower as baby gets bigger so maybe its just a gravity thing!! (my 30 weeks photo is my avatar and Im definately lower now than then.)

hey hun i think as baby grows and weight increases your bump is bound to get lower!! i found from about 27 weeks up until this week my little man was very quiet. id still feel movement but no where near as much... but now this week i feel loads again so maybe he's just gone through a big growth spurt lol. however if your any way worried at all about movement get checked out! it could be that baby is after turning and changing positions also but better safe eh? xxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks girls. Definitely think my bump is normal then. Going to monitor the movement a little bit and if I'm worried then I'll call my midwife. They're a nightmare to get hold of! I'm sure it's all find though because I do feel him move, just not as often. Have got mw appointment next Tuesday so if I don't call then I'll mention it to them then x
