That would depend on what you mean by "a lot." Considering the fact that the baby has almost no room to move at 39 weeks, decreased movement is normal. Complete lack of movement is not. If you are concerned, go to your doctor and have him/her listen for the heartbeat.
If your baby is normally quite active and there is a distinct change in the activity call your maternity care provider. NOW
Hey! I remember that! Not only after a digital exam by doc, but after intercourse too. VERY normal. Baby's having a snooze on your pelvis. Enjoy the last few weeks!
A "lot" of dizziness is never normal. Seek medical attention
Your baby is growing. It's pressing on other organs in your body. It's normal.
Yes, your body is going through a lot of hormonal changes and preparing a wonderful womb in which your baby will live. Your uterus will stretch as the baby grows and you will have a few pains here and there from the stretching.
I think the earliest baby that ever survived was 21 weeks? But babies born early are very sick and do not survive a lot of the time. The earliest that is normal to have the baby is 37 weeks, which will be about 3 weeks before you due date. I had my last baby at 35 weeks and he was 6lbs 9oz and very healthy. It's dangerous to have it earlier than that because the lungs haven't developed enough for the baby to breathe on its own.
Some babies move a lot. others do not. This is generally very different from person to person and baby to baby. It could be an indication of something wrong, but your baby is most likely just fine. If ever in doubt, then consult a doctor and ask for a scan.
Yes, this happens when the baby starts to squash the stomach and give a lot of extra weight. Don't tax youself too hard.

Don't worry. Think how much your heartbeat varies if you are moving around. A sleeping baby may have a heartbeat between 120-130 and if it is moving a lot it may be between 140-160. Also if you have a mild fever it will put up both your and your baby's heart-rate. == The further along you get in your pregnancy the higher the heartbeat will get.....you are right in the target range for your baby's gestational age. If you go for "monitoring" later on in your pregnancy, you will get to see it elevate to the high 180's as the baby moves, then come back down to the 150's - 160's, as you approach delivery the heartbeat will drop slightly. (monitoring is such a pain in the butt but it really puts you in tune with your baby!)
You and the baby should be fine. But if this is a normal thing you do a lot, you should get some help so it doesn't continue during pregnancy. It could harm the baby if you are throwing up and not getting any nutrition to the baby. If it was just for those two weeks, you should be fine. Just stop doing it now that you know.
It depends, if you feed him/her a lot of breastfeeding, the baby can throw up regularly, but if you are suspicious that this is not the case, then it isn't normal. The best thing to do is to refere this to your doctor so he can see what the problem is.
The moving of your baby is usually very reassuring. It isn't unusual for a baby to have quiet times when there is not a lot of activity. It may help to lay on your side to notice if the baby is moving or if it is still. If you feel the baby is not as active as what seems normal, discuss it with your doctor. You can always visit your doctor to hear the baby's heartbeat, but in most instances, there is nothing to worry about. Good Luck, Stacey I am in my 5th month of pregnancy also,And it helps to lay on my back,or to lay on my side and just leave my hand on my stomach to catch its quick moves. While it may be normal in some cases I would just like to add that I was pregnant at four months my doc told me the baby was under weight and would be ok. At five months I hardley ever felt him move. At six month I had lost all my fluid and had him he only weighed one pound and almost did not make it he is healthy now. Just be very careful and make sure if you think something is not right go strait to your doctor.
