Im in my 8th month now and the movements feel so different from before, more like rolls and pushes than kicks. Sometimes baby is quiet for a while and i get tension. How does it feel for u all at this stage?
Look, baby is big now, so don't expect him to run marathons inside. You will feel stretches and tight rolls. But listen, if you feel the baby has stopped moving or is moving way too less, don't wait around—go straight to your gynac.
Aww, the 8th month rolls are the best! It literally looks like an alien is trying to pop out of your tummy sometimes. Just count your daily kicks after meals, relax, and don't stress too much, you are doing great.
Honestly, it feels like a gym session is going on inside my ribs! Right now in my 8th month, my baby is basically stretching their legs and elbowing my bladder every five minutes. It's exhausting but so funny to watch my belly reshape.
In the 8th month, the baby has very little space left inside, so the movements change from sharp kicks to slow rolls and stretches. I panicked because I didn't feel those big jumps anymore, but my doctor said it's totally normal. Just keep a gentle track of the hourly movements!
You will feel more of pushes and rolls now instead of kicks because baby is growing bigger. Just make sure you count at least 10 movements in 2 hours when you are resting.
My gynac explained that as the baby grows in the 32nd-36th week, the amniotic fluid space reduces. So you'll feel more of 'swipes' and elbow pokes rather than somersaults. But if you ever feel a sudden drop in movements, please contact your doctor immediately.
