Is it true that babies tend to move less as the pregnancy nears the end? I've heard this in passing and by word of mouth, but I've never officially read this anywhere or had my doctor tell me. My babies still move but not nearly as much as they used to. I hope this is normal and chalk it up to them running out of space, but I'll ask my doc tomorrow at my appointment.
 
Apparently yeah, with less room to move its more kicks etc then full blown somersaults :shrug:
Ive not been so lucky though lol :haha: My LO is still moving like crazy :wacko: I dont know where she finds the room lol
If anything is worrying you though yeah I would say to docs when you're in :flower:
 
move less but WHEN they move well atleast for me it's very slow and sometimes painful or powerful
 
Idk that they move less... but that it changes... they have less space to kick legs out, or do punches, legs are curled tighter, and they squirm more rather than bounce around. Some women have longer torsos so baby can stretch farther longer, some the opposite. I see you are expecting twins.. I imagine your babies are pretty cramped
 
Yeah I think you def feel less, I certainly don't feel her 24 hours a day like I used to, but boy when she rolls and kicks do I know about it...LOL x
