I also felt the kicks and movement mostly in the lower abdomen. Last checkup, my gynae says baby still in breech position. Told me to prepare myself for cesarean if baby does not turn when full term. I hope she does turn by then.
I used to feel the movements in my lower tummy...now on my left n right slightly higher than my belly button. Gtg for gynae appt this Fri @ 28 wks...will see wat my gynae say

You're not going for epidural? Wow! Means your pain threshold is great! I think I'll want epidural... My appointment is on Thurs! Seems like most of us have appointments this week! :D
My colleagues's water bag burst ard 11pm, checked in to Mt A n was only 1 cm dilated. She wanted natural w/o epidural but by 11plus this morning, she can no longer endure with the pain. The last update I heard was ard 4pm plus, she was 8cm dilated.

Me too! I wonder if my gal is changing her position to downward now. But it's not like kicking for me anymore.. more like moving nowadays. And it's causing discomfort on my tummy.. like I mentioned before, I feels that my baby is hitting onto my organs! The feeling is like my tummy will suddenly stink, then expand.. like bubbles inside! But unlike our 1st/2nd trimester, the "bubbles" are big!!

I managed to video my gal moving quite viviously these few days! It's heart warming to see her moving inside, but on the other hand, her moves are quite unbearable sometimes. Heard we will be able to see the shape of our babies' hands or feet soon when our tummy gets tigher!! =)


Mine never reduce..but more actively kicking in early morning & esp after dinner till late night. Sometimes kick till my ribs a bit uncomfortable..only felt it at the ribs recently. I wondered have she change her position to upside down already. How about you, ask gynae about baby's position yet?

wow! that's like >16hrs of labour already..

I had 2 colleagues who gave birth last month..

One of them had 24hrs labour... Couldnt endure the pain and took epidural in the end...

Another only had ONE hr of labour!
9.00am : Contraction came every 2 mins suddenly..
9.30am : Reached hospital & she insisted to walk to the delivery suite then found that she already 10cm dilated!
10.00am: Gave birth after 3 pushes. Her gynae wasnt even there yet..

It's the 1st pregnancy for both..

I want my labour to be less than 2hrs too!

Wow you are only gaining 6kg!! That's the gain when I was in my 1st trimester! No turning back after that! haha!!
I feels so bloated every part of my body! I can't imagine the number that is going to appear on my gynae's weighing scale on my next visit! Scary!! Reaching 60kg soon!

woah! lucky u get to take a few vids! I hv not managed to take any vids yet and most of the time the movements are not obvious in the vids... I cant wait to see the hands and feet movements too! Its going to be so excited!
 
Bertrande, me too! When my gynae and the nurses at the clinic told me this are her hands, her eyes, etc... I'm like where?! How to see? Hahaha! My clinic doesn't do 3D/4D scans and I was also thinking I can live with it.

Problemgal, try talking to her? I'll touch my belly button too and tell her that's the umbilical cord and I ask her not to play with it cos if not, the umbilical cord goes around her neck and I'll have to do C-sect! Praying hard too though my baby is already in position when I was in week 24-25.
Thanks perky, will try to talk to my gal to ask her to cooperate. She can be quite naughty at times, ie being in the wrong position during scans at times, moving around during scans. :)
