what kind of movements do people have/had at 31 weeks

i really am not feeling a lot over the last week or so and its starting to worry me.
He doesnt really seem to kick just shift or wiggle or little pokes here and there and the movements dont seem very strong.

Thanks in advance for answers

I feel more shifting and wriggling movements now more than kicking, our little ones are not so little anymore so dont have as much room to stretch out and kick like before xxx

hi hun. i think everyone is different regarding movements, some babies seem to move alot, others dont. im no expert but id say if your babies movements have changed alot and you are worried, then give your mw a ring and ask to be seen, more than likely everything will be fine, but you should check and put your mind at ease xxx

I saw my midwife on friday about it and she said everything is fine. I have never really felt much movement im not sure if has anything to do with having an anterior placenta. I just thought at this stage i should be feeling a lot more

Since last Friday, almost over night, my movements completely changed, not many kicks at all now, all I get apart from the odd faint kick is rolls, poking and stretching. Sometimes I can't even feel it but if I'm sat down I can see my belly moving.

I did get worried so I went to the hospital, they monitored baby and scanned me and you could see baby moving fine on the screen and my consultant said every one of those movements counted.

I do have an AP so I do worry about movement probably more than I need to but the midwife and consultant that scanned me said what I was feeling ws perfectly normal, and that the baby was running out of room for big kicks now, which is also the reason I can feel the stretches and rolls now instead.

If you're worried just check it out at labour & delivery

I have an anterior placenta too hun, I mainly get a bum or an elbow sticking out or hiccups rather than a kick. as long as your feeling some sort of movements, give your mw a ring if your worried xx

I feel lots of pokes and rolls now, and hiccups about 4 times a day!! It is only in the last week that she has become really active and I have felt regular movements, before then I still had days when I felt very little at all. I also have an anterior placenta and the midwife said it must have moved higher which is why I can now feel more.

Every baby is different though and if you are ever not happy you must phone for advice. I have been in a few times with reduced moevements, the hospital have always been friendly and helpful.

Thanks for the replies everyone!
i do feel movement like rolling and random body parts poking out of me just not kicks as much..feel like im missing out because some people say their babies are kicking them all the time.
I think my baby tends to move a lot when im asleep because whenever i wake up during the night he usually moving around.
I have been in to be monitored once and the baby was moving a lot but i couldnt feel all the movements but sometimes i could see my belly move but not feel it..so weird!
But if i do get even more worried then i will definitely go and checked out.

I know exactly what you mean. I was in the hospital this weekend, I am now 30 weeks and his movements have completely changed. Lots of wiggling and shifting and little poking (fingers and toes moving maybe). No hard kicks so much.

Anyway, they told me not worry he looked great on the monitor and he's near 4 lbs according to the detailed measurement scan they did. I guess he's running out of room.

BTW I have an anterior placenta too, I felt a ton of movement up until about 4 days ago, just different now.
If you are concerned go in for a monitor for reassurance.

at 31 weeks i just felt them movements with it poking out but not kicking but now its more moving again

I think babies have a growth spurt around this time anyway so you wont feel much movement if this is the case. My movements changed to big rolls and feet sticking out

But if you are worried please call you doctor or MW - thats what they are there for
