Momo used to do that, especially towards the end of the third trimester so we'd end up going to the hospital where she later put on a song and dance. <br /><br />Not long now, all the best!<br /><br />*iclw #56tomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00609592455257008378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749404111767311785.post-52167339199683399912010-04-18T21:23:18.547-07:002010-04-18T21:23:18.547-07:00What a crappy, scary thing to go through!

I can so so relate. To the fears, to the paranoia, to seeing clues of horror where no one else would notice them like all that new stuff being sold. I just finished a post about how i am realizing that i really won't be able to breath for four more months. I know how you feel. I do. And I am just so excited that you will be with him soon. On the outside. That he'll be with you safe and sound. THREE WEEKS!!! To a normal person that would probably sound short but I'm sure the weeks get longer as you get closer to the end. I'm so glad he perked up. And it does make sense that movement decreases as they have less room. Just keep fighting the good fight. You'll get there mama!!Astridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15910745805460514947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749404111767311785.post-24193736270571882482010-04-16T14:55:31.221-07:002010-04-16T14:55:31.221-07:00Hope all went well at the NST.

My babies didn't move no matter what I did. What helped me was going to my next ultrasound and seeing them move and not feeling it. <br /><br />Every pg woman goes through that anxiety, but I think it's harder for an IF woman to deal with. We try for so long and have learned to expect the worst through our struggles. It's ok to feel panicky. <br /><br />Don't just write it off to nerves though. If you feel like you want to get checked, call your dr. Or better yet, call L&D. 99.9% of the time the hospital will tell you to come in. Then get hooked up to the montitors and focus on that beautiful sound of a headrbeat.Lucky Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04463097433700713493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749404111767311785.post-83621081669560405472010-04-16T08:54:35.184-07:002010-04-16T08:54:35.184-07:00I had so many panicked moments just like that...th...I had so many panicked moments just like that...thinking of you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749404111767311785.post-88654007609334504882010-04-16T08:46:50.826-07:002010-04-16T08:46:50.826-07:00he's gonna be ok, if he doesn't pass the k...he's gonna be ok, if he doesn't pass the kick test you'll go see your doctor and if they are worried they will take him now, he will come out screaming and everything will be as it should.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749404111767311785.post-75385402714752157362010-04-16T07:43:25.179-07:002010-04-16T07:43:25.179-07:00Maybe you should start going in for NSTs??

I just figured he is worn out maybe and sleeping or growing. Actually I thought it was 10 kicks in a day not an hour....lol. I probably would have freaked long ago.<br /><br />I think you should request an NST just to ease your mind. <br /><br />((Hugs)) He's probably just resting or could possibly be running out of room to move around. V's resting hr is in the 130s when he kicks, it shoots up to 160-190 so it really takes a lot out of them to move around at this point.<br /><br />Hang in there and I know it is hard, but try not to worry too much.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193871208271881735noreply@blogger.com
