Diszi, it's entirely possible that baby just doesn't have as much room now to make those big movements and the ones he is making are into your placenta. You are still feeling movements though which is a good thing. If your worried then ring either the midwife or your maternity assessment unit, I know it's scary (been there numerous times with the reduced fetal movements now) but try to stay calm and positive, it could just be because of your placenta hun.

I have a midwife appt in the morning so I guess I can say something to her then?

dizsie dont panic.. hopefully ur mw can put your mind at rest. hugs. like you said it could be your placenta position. if you can still feel flutters, surely that is a positive sign too? i hope youcan see mw soon to get reassured.

i went to make some tea but some fool had moved a wine glass and as soon as i opened up the cupboar, it feel onto the counter and smashed. i was so annoyed. i felt glass go on the floor and even though some glass was in my both heels. grrr. i ended up spending ages cleaning up. then i made my tea and then started worrying if there was glass in the water. i have had it. oh well. what am i like? the nerves are gettting to me and works not helping with clients chasing me up. grrrr

Oh no candycane! Sexymouse's suggestion sounds the best but might cause family rifts forever after My mother 'decided' she'd come over as soon as the baby was born 'just for a day or two' (she'd need to catch a 12 hour flight, which we'd need to book for her, and she'd need to stay with us!) - told her no. She wasn't very happy. Said she could come in Jan, if she wanted, but that's apparently not good enough.

Diszie, I have an anterior placenta too, during the day I don't feel much at all and what I do is definitley 'internal' - more like small pops or flutters & down on the left bottom of my bump. At night on the sofa though I get leg action (baby is head down and feet are to the right of my stomach above my belly button). I'm sure all is fine but call the m/w anyway when she's free and you'll probably go in for monitoring.

Diszie - I would call and get it checked, but if you can still feel something just less it is more than likely baby has changed position.

sexymouse - oh I am tempted but I don't think my mum would ever forgive me. Its not worth the stress of talking about it with her before the baby arrives. She has a full time lecturing job which I doubt others can cover for, so ideally baby will arrive on a Monday and she comes down the following weekend. I am more than prepared to tell people to leave and go shopping or something once they are here. I am still impressed with your MIL plans - hope they work for you. I have visions of you sneaking the baby home under a blanket like famous people do

thanks candy, am trynig to be calm. doubt i will get much work done. completely understand about your family being about. its up to you at the end of the day. i dont want people swarming to ours as well. wont be able to handle it. think i better warn dh beforehand as i dont want to sit and make chit chat when all i want to do is be alone with the bubba.

sexymouse

Yep definitely was thinking of the hiding him under a blanket. lol.

I still think I beat you all on the mother stakes, she's still adamant that she's getting the first hold of baby as soon as he's out of me and that me and Ant aren't getting a look in, despite me telling her it's in my birth plan baby gets put on my for skin to skin. Apparently she is going to an anniversary do on the 22nd so quite hoping baby arrives on that night because she knows I won't allow her to the hospital if she's had any alcohol lol.

omg ikkle and i thought my mum was persistent. what is it with mums? dont they get it at times that this is our time with our little ones, as they have had theirs? i havent had much interference from mine yet because she lives an hour away and cant be bothered to come round to ours anyway but if she started then i am sure dh will be there to say err no... i hope his parents also kind of stay away. i dont mind a quick visit which they would do but dont want them here all the time esp as they have moved so close to us. eek!!!

Candycane_2

OMG Ikkle you win on the demanding mother stakes so far. Do you think we will all be here in 30 years moaning about our kids not letting us see grandchildren?

Why does she need to know you are having the baby, can't you tell her once he's arrived? I am already practising not answering/returning phone calls very quickly so people don't get suspicious if I am in labour
