Baby who rarely moves at 33 weeks

[zaalitje]

I've a baby who rarely moves, he's in an awkward position facing my back. So all I feel are the sort of flutters you get when you very first start feeling them move. Baby has been this way about 3 weeks.
Is anyone the same? How on earth do you cope with the lack of palpable movement?

I've been monitored a week ago along with a scan, all fine, midwife appt this week, heartbeat was fine.

If you've a similar baby that you rarely feel how do you cope?

I'm now almost 33 weeks so likely another 2 months of this. It's reducing me to tears thinking I've lost my baby every day.

I am same this time round and they think it's probably down to the 50kg I have lost but also the 80% of stomach that's gone so more room so squish about.

Don't feel bad if you want monitored every week - if you defo can't feel baby and your worried get checked.

With my first pregnancy I had 3x reduced movements so after a check on Wednesday night I had another consultant appointment on Thursday and was admitted Friday and had baby on Sunday when induced.

Depends on your area but repeated reduced movements may result in consultant led birth so that can be seen as bonus as 37/8 weeks is full term so could be sooner than later.
