29 weeks prgnant and she seems a little lethargic..?

Question

My sister is 29 weeks pregnant and a little worried b/c the baby is usually really active but the last few days she has not been moving around as much. Is this normal? She has moved a little bit each day, but not very much and certainly not as much as usual.

Answer 1

I think it is okay as long as there are some movement each day. I've heard the baby has "lazy" days like adults... if concerned call the doctor and get checked- just in case... try to google "baby's movement during pregnancy"

Answer 2

I've had four children and I know for a fact that by the third trimester the baby is a little cramped in the uterus, especially a big baby. You said she. I had two girls and by the third trimester I had to get tested every week because my little girls were so lazy they wouldn't move. I went in when I was 34 weeks because the baby fluttered one day then didn't move for two days. I was terrified. I went in and the doctor checked the babies heart beat, then laughed and pushed on my stomach. The baby stretched both arms up, shook a little, (fluttered) and the doctor told me i had a fat lazy baby on my hands. Both girls were over eight pounds and they slept alot once they were born. So, don't worry about it.

Answer 3

Yes its normal. Just like newborns unborn babies have days where they spend almost all day sleeping and growing. In a couple days they wake up and are much more active than before, working those new muscles and things they were growing.

Answer 4

my baby dose that he/she moves for days on end ,then for a day or two doesn't move much at all, as long as she is feeling some movement i wouldn't worry but if she is really worried tell her to call her doc
