Q: Is It Normal

To start feeling less movement around 25 - 27 weeks? I still feel her move but it's not nearly as much as before, and I thought maybe it's normal and that it's happening because she's getting big and there isn't enough room for her to move around. When she does move it feels stronger than before, she just doesn't do it nearly as much as before. I'm not really worried because I was at the dr's on the 4th and heard her heart beat but i'm just wondering if it's normal and happens to most people.

Yeah I also feel her lots in the tub! Some people say you shouldn't take baths during pregnancy, but I do everyday. I seriously think i'm more likely to fall taking a shower, I almost did twice because the plastic mat thing didn't stick to the bottom and I slid. So baths it is for me.

Baths are fine during pregnancy and can actually help relieve some of the discomforts of pregnancy.

You shouldn't take hot baths or have a hot tub during pregnancy because the heat can affect the baby.

So as long as your bath is warm not boiling hot you'll be fine.
