Reduced baby movements at almost 38 weeks, could it be just that she has no room left??

[insertwittynicknameHERE]

I will be 38 weeks pg tomorrow, she has been moving all day but not as much as usual. I have had waaaaay more than the 10 movements that you are supposed to count.

I haven't felt her move in a couple of hours. I have had a bath as that usually gets her moving/kicking/punching. I have had a cold drink and laid down on my left hand side, I have eaten ice cream but nothing is getting her going.

Should I be at all worried and could it just be that there is no room left for her to move??

Having lots of movements today but I am quite achy in my lower back and abdomen. Lots of BH's also, so kinda hoping that this may be the start of things.

I'm still gonna beg the consultant to let me have a sweep though lol.

The BH's are getting quiet strong, no pattern to them and they are only slightly painful, but they are strong enough for me to stop what I am doing TBH.

wow, definatly push for a sweep with consultant then

goodluck,

How are things now insert.....??

Any news?

Sorry it's been long to update.

I am still pg, due in a week, baby is moving more than she was though, so that is a good sign.

Seeing MW on Monday when I will be 4 days off my due date so gonna ask for a sweep then to see if we can get things started.

I do keep having mild contractions sporadically and on Monday night I was woken up with one in the early hours but nothing came of them

Hopefully she will be here soon.

Thanks for asking by the way

Get some rhubarb and custard down you!

insert I am soo glad things are ok and you are getting regular movement...

Hiya all

Does rhubarb help things along? I don't like it but will try anything.......

I had rhubarb and custard on Sat and Sun and a baby on Monday

lol, sounds good, I think I will add it to my 'get labour going' list

Also have a long walk.

I had curry too on Saturday night.

Labour started Sunday night after another long walk and rhubarb and custard.
