By 41 weeks you are full term, your baby's movements may feel like minor fidgeting compared to the summersaults he used to turn, because of the confined space. Even though your baby no longer has enough room to be doing flips you should still feel regular movement of body parts like a foot across your belly or elbow to your ribs.

Babies have regular sleep patterns long before they born, you may have noticed that there there are several times throughout the day when the baby doesn't move as much and other times when he feels like he is dancing and having a party in there!

If you believe a couple hours have gone by and you haven't felt any movement try drinking a large glass of juice, then sit back or lay down and "count kicks" - these ''movements'' includes actual kicks, jabs, rolls, twists, and turns. Usually healthy babies will complete ten movements within two hours and most babies achieve this in less than 15 minutes.

If you don't feel any movement I would suggest calling your doctor/midwife and following their instructions. They may advise you to repeat the kick count or to go for a non-stress test where they monitor the baby's heart rate for 20 minutes to an hour. They may also point out to you that it's not uncommon for a baby to move less in the day or two prior to labor starting.

When can you see fetal movement in a pregnant cat?

You can begin to feel fetal kitten movement between the 6th and 7th week in a cat's pregancy, but you probably won't be able to see the movement until around the 8th week. If its a cat's first pregnancy or there are quite a few kittens in the uterine horns, you may not be able to feel much movement at all since they can be restricted in space.

Is it normal to always feel tired in the second trimester?

It is VERY normal to feel tired during your second trimester. Although many think that while in your second trimester you should have the most energy, it is not uncommon to feel tired.

So ladies, REST up! because we all know, when the baby comes, we wont be doing much resting!! good luck!

If you are sure you are only 8 weeks then fluttering is most likely gas. Women who have previously been pregnant often feel fetal movement much earlier than in a first pregnancy.
