3rd trimester
32 weeks, our girl is moving less
flowersGuest ·
Hi everyone.
I just wanted to ask if any of you have noticed less movement from your baby at 32 weeks of pregnancy. I’ve felt less movement since Saturday night. On Sunday, I called my midwife and was told to go straight to the hospital for a CTG and ultrasound. Our girl was very still during the ultrasound. The CTG was otherwise fine. I had to go back today, and again, she wasn’t moving much on the ultrasound—only a little bit with her hand. The CTG was fine again. They didn’t really put me at ease. I have to go back on Wednesday for another CTG and ultrasound, and the growth scan needs to be repeated. Now I’m at home worrying about why she suddenly moved so little. Is she getting enough in my belly? Is the placenta still functioning properly? Has anyone here experienced something similar?
I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Hopefully, the umbilical cord was also measured. They usually do that as part of a standard CTG. They also check the baby's growth and the amount of amniotic fluid.
With me, the little one was always super active until week 26, and then suddenly became less active. I had a few CTGs and an ultrasound. Everything was fine. Of course, they get less space too. The baby can also position themselves with their hands and feet towards the placenta, and then you feel less movement. That's what I was told back then. The baby has become a bit more active again now. If I'm not feeling well myself, I feel the baby less. Also with hard contractions.
Hopefully, this helps you a bit..... As you can see, I'm now 33 weeks hihi -

Hi proud mama.
I really appreciate you sharing this! It's at least more than what I heard from the hospital about possible causes. I don't know if they measured the umbilical cord. They also didn't measure the amount of amniotic fluid. They said it looks like there's enough fluid.
We just have to trust that it's okay. Thanks for your message!
