This is my third pregnancy, but my first that has made it this far. I've had two miscarriages. Needless to say i am worried enough. I'm 29 weeks pregnant and i'm having a beautiful girl. My doctor says everything is going fine, but she used to be really active and now Its not uncommon for her not to kick all day and only kick when i lay down for bed at night. I can feel her move and stuff but not really kicking. I dont know wether to bother my doctor with my concerns or to just wait until my next appointment but i'm really worried about it. I dont think i should be as worried but with my history with pregnancies i just prepare for the worst.

Comments are deffinetely welcome

this is completly completly normal, first off teh baby is getting pretty cramped in there now, also babies all lulled to sleep by motion and noise, when your up your moving around and theres noise all the time so your baby will sleep more (which is one reason babies always seem to have night and day mixed up when they are born) and when you lay down your still so the baby thinks its party time lol, not to mention when you lay down it kind of compresses your stomach (which is why even before you show you can ususaly feel your uterus/"show" while laying down) so it makes it a lot easier for you to feel teh movements

however, if you EVER feel something isnt right or even if your just worried and you think your being paranoid, call your doctor, that is what they are their for, its not being silly or dumb or bothersome or anything, its being a good mommy Smile
