How did baby’s movement change in the third trimester? I’ve heard the baby begins to run out of room so the movements are more subtle? Trying not to be paranoid and have a check up tomorrow but wanted to know others experiences

I think it feels more like an alien squirming and shifting instead of true kicks haha. I wouldn’t say more subtle just different movement.

Babies don’t “run out of room” to where it restricts their movement. Some days can be quieter than others but you should still do your kick counts and make sure you’re getting the amount your doctor instructs in the period of time.

If you’re worried at all, get checked out at L&D just to be safe. Would way rather it be nothing you did something about than something you did nothing about. 🤍

Babies do run out of room and their movements change. It happened to me at 39 weeks and I have two friends who it also happened to. We all went and were checked and not saying it’s not helpful to do kick counts but movements absolutely do change near the end.

Ooo they may be squeezed but they will ROLL!! My babes did (very slow) somersaults or would move an elbow and I’d feel it on some organ or even be able to see it. Towards the end, as they get into exit position, their little booty will be moving by your diaphragm. Mine were most active once I laid down (because normal movement lulls them to sleep most of the day) and I absolutely love it. Sometimes it was uncomfortable, particularly if my bladder was full, but it’s something I miss now that I’m post-pregnancies.

If you feel something is off, I highly recommend you get it checked out. By third trimester I kind of had an idea of my baby’s cycle, when she would wake and how long she slept and when she would be most active. Always better safe than sorry.

My guy was often quiet for long periods, but was obvious when he moved. I agree with it being more like alien moving. Also depends highly on baby position, mine was breech so definitely different than most baby's 3rd trimester position.

I would shine my iPhone flashlight on my stomach, and he would kick within 20 mins each time. lol That gave me a peace of mind.

Yeah it turns into more just shifting around, squirming, and pressing instead of kicks. The pattern around what times of day they get active will still stay pretty consistent, the movements just feel different.

I recently joined Swiss Re at 30lpa, pretty good manager and work culture. Got a hike of 10% in 3 months without me asking for it. But got an offer from another company which I was interviewing for before joining here and they are offering a base of 45lpa. Now I am unsure how I convey this to my manager coz I want to stay here but at the same time I am salivating over this new offer and wish I get similar numbers here. Is it worth raising a discussion? If yes what would be a subtle way to do so?

Hi- Looking for a marketeer- recommendations welcome!

I’m looking at lessons with a pro. They offer packs of 30 min (6-pack) and 60 min (3-pack) sessions. Is there a benefit to one over the other? Is 30 too short or 60 too long?

I’ve never taken lessons before, just played my whole life. I’m a mid 80s golfer trying to get more consistent and break into the high 70s.

First trimester insomnia?
I’m only about 5 weeks, but my sleep schedule has gone off the rail the last three nights. I’m sleepy/drowsy, settled in bed around the same time every night, and yet I cannot fall or stay asleep. I have a white noise machine, comfy bed, cool room.. etc. When I do fall asleep, it’s earlier in the morning and I sleep until 1/1:30pm. This was fine the first few nights since it was the weekend, but it can’t keep up. Anyone else experience this and have any recommendations?

Would you recommend the CVS test? I dont think I want to get it done due to the risks.

Last night I went over to my friends house (she has 2 kids, 2 and 4 yo). She and her husband were asking me about my pregnancy and planning. And were asking what I’ve prepped to date. I’m only 13w2 days so I think it’s way to early for buying stuff, but I did mention we hired a baby nurse for when the baby comes. My friend completely berated me, short of calling me a bad mom already, saying “what is she going to do all day? Don’t you want to bond with your child?”. I’m so upset by this.
