So yesterday and today the baby hasn't been THAT active. I mean I feel him every once in awhile but nothing like how he was just last week. Is that normal? I know he's still ok cuz he does move but I'm just a little nervous. :worried

Yes that is definately normal especially as you get further along in the pregnancy where the babe has less room to move. I am sure everything is fine! :hugs

You're pretty far along! The period between about 27 and 32 there is quite a decrease in movement due to your baby growing so much and running out of room inside. Also, movement changes as the child gets bigger. As long as the baby is moving, and you still can do your kick count and all of that is okay. I wouldnt stress out! Stress doesn't help the baby ;)

Is this your first?

Mine can be lazy too, sometimes I think my blood sugar is low or something because as soon as I eat something, he starts moving again. I also noticed that when I drink cold water, he moves more too. If I'm hot or being active, he doesn't move at all. Like I spend 3 hours every afternoon on a non-air conditioned school bus (because I'm crazy) and he doesn't move at all when I'm on the bus. Sometimes I feel like he goes on strike :lol.

I went through that with my little girl as well. I would not worry too much.

AWW congrats!! That's pretty awesome. When I was pregnant I worried about EVERYTHING , So I understand why you'd be nervous! Good luck!

Its normal. I had a mini-freakout last week because this little one barely moved at all for 5 days straight. I had to use my dopplar to keep myself from going insane.
But this week she is killing me with the kicks again.

you will notice an decrease in BIG movement, but you should still feel squirming, sharp jabs ( usually in the ribs :P ) plus you will notice the baby will have a schedule of sorts, times when he is quiet and times when he is uber active ( usually when you are trying to sleep.)
