33+2 - does anyone else have a baby that likes to keep them on their toes? Woke up this morning and didn't feel too much activity. Drank some orange juice and got a little activity but really soft. Finally started to get real movement around 8:30. I was this close to going to L&D. I feel like any time I think I've figured out a pattern to her movements, she switches things up on me. I am also having a somewhat ridiculous anxiety concern that isn't helping when I'm worried about her movements.

At my OB appointment today I brought up that movements are feeling different and much softer for a little over a week now and I'm finding that concerning. She confirmed that based on baby's size and position, he's just out of room for as many jabs/kicks in the way he could get momentum in the past from more directions. The doctor reminded me that a lot of these more rolling/wiggling movements aren't as pronounced or noticable if your attention is elsewhere like when you're working on something or walking around. She reassured that I could come in whenever I get concerned, but also said it's ok if I have to focus more to feel the more subtle movements as long as they're still there.
