Week 29 butternut squash
Over the next three months your baby is in for a major growth spurt. Because of this, you may have noticed smaller movement inside your belly. This is due to the increasingly cramped space.
More importantly, you should still notice fetal movement and it's a good idea to monitor the frequency. You can do this by lying down in a quiet place.
